A reminder to allow ourselves to get bored every once in a while - to shut off every distraction for a while.

I'd suggest that language is what makes the existence of "symbol" possible in the first place. It's a kind of context.

Stay on topic, guys.

It may involve aspects of that principle, but it goes far deeper, not stopping at the social pretension of honesty. It's as if everyone on Earth were on Veritaserum all the time - well, sort of; that's just a caricature. Nice pipe dream, though. Would make a great novel or something. Actually, the Pluribus show may be attempting to explore this idea from a certain angle.

I do recommend voting, though, and that would likely require paying some attention to the broader political climate of your country. You don't want to vote for a wannabe dictator or a compulsive liar out of sheer ignorance of their character, even if that judgment is based mostly on intuition rather than on accumulated factual information.
