Semantic Satiation and Ruducto ad Absurdum

Reverie of all those blips.

 Repeating something that won't make sense, tautologies that in its circularity don't make any sense.

Tick tock with a fad to trend, to trend to norm, then mimetically it all travels and normalises into a concept within our culture.

Are the repetitions deliberate? Or not so? Reductio ad Absurdum is used within comedies all the time. Moving into a farce from parodies. First time has it effect, second time it's expected with half the impact, the 3rd is a absurdity.

Yet the rules of three do form a pattern, where the connections make way, it can go either way.

The law of diminishing returns comes all the same.
