I would love to be able to censor anything about rogue AIs, simulation theory, outer space and extraterrestrials beyond our solar system in general, and anything related to consciousness and qualia. Also end of life care, cancer research, and every single post on Hacker News that says “such and such has died”. That stuff triggers me and I click the “hide” button. My wife thinks I’m a nutcase. I once had a panic attack after someone on Hacker News made some joke about Oumuamua or whatever that thing was named being a swarm of nano bots that are going to destroy the earth. Thanks, random person!
I dunno maybe I’m mentally unwell. If so I’ve been this way for years. Just hate to dwell on certain topics because there’s no “happy” scenario for them.
Then again I don’t know if I’d actually be better off if I was literally never exposed to any of that through some virtual personal assistant keeping me in my safe zone, instead of brushing by it on occasion.
