I've noticed a few of my FB friends still participate in Liars Day. >:(
I hate April Fool's Day. I'm fairly trusting and I take people at their face. I consider it a better way to live and structure society. Plus, I can't really help it, I feel like a damn puppy sometimes. Today is a day that celebrates mocking that way of life/neural architecture. It says "Haha, high-trust culture is for suckers, look at those cooperating idiots over there. What rubes. Defecting FTW!"
I guess everyone needs a day off, where they revel in turning the social order on it's head. Mardi Gras, or Halloween, or whatever. It's a good release valve. Or maybe today can be used to caution everyone, once a year, how horrible a world it would be if everything was low-trust. Or to remind us that almost all news on the internet is just a year-round Liar's Day.
Whatever. I still hate the day. I'm going to go be grumpy in a corner.
