Humanity is driving itself into the ground in a wheel of greed and ignorance.
The core value humanity needs right now is a significant change in culture where opposition to normalization and mainstream is promoted, and nonsense is actively fought against.
Even Hackernews is slighly more mainstream than I would prefer with wordy nonsensical articles constantly showing up.
And I don't know what to do about it, nobody does. All the good content is extremely hard to find. It took me years to realize the Indie Web existed and even it is slightly tilted to the mainstream.
Humans just don't care about the stuff that matters. It was all figured out many years ago, but is now burried behind mountains of "innovations."
- sbstnxyz 2y agoThis is a really great reply. I wonder if that's a direction I should look into - helping people sort information, and find what really matters.
- underscoremark 2y agoYou'll waste your life chasing dreams of changing the world. You have presented yourself as a solution looking for a problem. I am sorry if that seems harsh, but you asked. From my experiences, positive impacts have never been top-down, or from a place of "addressing societal problems". Innovation (and motivation) comes from laziness, need, and greed. Instead of solving society's problems, in this regard, just look to your own. Then, the question of "worth" is self evident.
- sujayk_33 2y ago> All the good content is extremely hard to find. agreed do you have any bookmarked/favorite indie websites? I'm always on a hunt for them so if you don't mind sharing, please.
- andrei-akopian 2y agoA am an amatur, so most of the stuff I have is from carefully filtering the HN feed (hence I assume you have it too) My only "new" observation is that websites hosted by universities have PDFs better than $200 dollar textbooks. But I don't know how to search for them at scale yet.
