The Most
Excruciating Run-On Sentence in the History of the Internet
Maureen O'Connor Gawker 12/28/11

“Because I mean one of the truths about being
a modern Western individual is that you likely have this idea about a person
you want to be, and that person has a title even, a title like Young
Professional or All-Around Good Person Of Above Average Intelligence, and to
justify excessive ‘gaps' in productivity by holding firm the belief that you're
"only human" and thus naturally lack sufficient motivation to do
anything beyond obsessively watching YouTube videos and browsing reddit—where
the premise of the idea of doing "anything beyond" obsessively
watching YouTube videos and browsing reddit has, in a kind of relief, suddenly
become sort of congratulatory, as if by doing "anything beyond"
watching YouTube videos and browsing reddit you've become secretly heroic or
are, just by not wasting oxygen, currently actualizing a person you want to be/
have always known you were/ are at your core—to justify your inaction with the
belief that you're "only human" is a behavior that stands in
opposition of who you tell yourself you want to be and believe you are, if you
have any Western-style aspirations at all.”
