vapidity

"X is dead" is a sure-fire indicator of vapidity.

The XS commercial is a masterpiece of vapidity, they don't even pretend it's anything but brand.

I would suggest we've been encouraging and rewarding vapidity for much longer than Instagram has been around.

Of course, no longer being a quick release for vapidity, such a social network would be doomed to fail, but the outcome might be interesting nonetheless.

But to read it as an illustration of the "vapidity...that infects open source projects" strikes me as noxiously cynical.

I'm really reluctant to say any more about this particular dead duck, but the ignorance and vapidity go hand-in-hand.

For all the talk of their impact, start-ups can't disrupt society worth a damn, except possibly to create more and more conduits for the vapidity of bored consumers.

It sort of highlights the conflict between the vapidity of the online press/blogosphere and the vapidity of the offline/traditional press.

I’ve watched parts of a few of his chats with interesting people, such as Sam Harris, but I didn’t last long, as they veered immediately into vapidity and stayed there.

The attention-sucking and vapidity is independent of the media it's derived from.

Like someone who's so afraid of experiencing any degree of anger or disappointment that they philosophize their way to vapidity and numbness.

The vocal tic of saying "like" every three words, the constant tossing of the head and hair, the speaking in a tumble of disconnected, cliched fragments rather than in sentences, the general vapidity, the garish makeup, etc.

> philosophize their way to vapidity and numbnessI've often felt that the Buddhist "no desires" and "no mind" concepts are akin to the trivial solution in polynomials or vector math: set everything to 0!That it's one solution does not mean there are not other, non-zero solutions.
