  1. Your phrasing was pseudo-mystical.
  2. You used non-standard meanings for words.
  3. It was a bunch of assertions, without a meaningful way to springboard into more discussion.
  4. My first thought was "why doesn't this person recognize that something so out of the ordinary requires a lot more explication?"
  5. I had to think much more than should have been necessary to even begin to grasp what you could even possibly have meant by saying things like "Software is becoming the new System".

Basically, it came across as a very low-effort post that seemed explicitly designed to create poor quality discussion.

Ordinary for what? Ordinary for this small community? It's a big world out there.

It's a big world out there.

But you're talking to the world in here.

Well, you posted it to this small community, and then wondered why it was downvoted.
