“an emotional expression of unknown anxieties: I don’t really know why I’m feeling this way. I’m saying things and doing things and some of it’s confusing, some of it’s weird, some of it’s stupid.

“First of all, it’s distraction from the really pressing issues. It makes people feel engaged with topics that really are going nowhere.
