>>42274289>What's with this forced meme and why is it suddenly all over my internet?I wouldn't say suddenly, it's been popular in the 4chansphere for almost a decade now. Like a lot of memes, it stems from contrarian anons trying to distance themselves from reddit.
Pseud, midwit, hylic, etc. are just different ways to signal that you're scientifically knowledgeable, but also "grounded" and spiritual. It stands in contrast to the reddit mindset of pure IFLS materialism, sometimes redditors reject anecdotal evidence as an extension of that.
