The Absurdity of Emojis

A Subsection of the Philo-Sophistry Committee

Emojis: the ultimate manifestation of the human desire for brevity and confusion. They have become the de facto language of the 21st century, allowing us to convey complex ideas with a single, two-dimensional image.

But what do they really mean?

Theories:

  1. Emojis are a form of digital hieroglyphics, allowing us to convey the entirety of human emotion through simplistic, easily-replicated images.

  2. Emojis are a form of meta-commentary, a way to comment on the futility of commenting on things that don't need commenting on in the first place.

  3. Emojis are a manifestation of our collective laziness, a way to say 'I'm thinking without actually thinking.'
