I'm not and yet the fate of a population is not arbitrary. MSM is society-level technology and it's clearly doing something to it that would not have happened in its absence. I'm seeing it in personal acquaintances, who get

The MSM/MEM as population control vehicle/idiot honeypot is a salient angle though you quickly get into self-fulfilling prophecy stuff there. Perhaps it's me being overly pessimistic, but I too might have been captured by t

What I've found consistently scarier this past decade+ is the casualness and seeming inevitability with which vast swathes of the population can be captured by unfavorable technology and social spaces or narratives. And yeah, what you

Around that age I had one of these "educational laptops" (Lexibook-ish). Of course these get old somewhat quick and can't be used for older age...

Not only you. Presumably regulars of this media don't possess anything damagable.

Was this article written by the forestry industry? Because it totally forgets to mention that much of this forest is artificially modified to be suitable for wood farming (98% according to [1]!). According to [2] only 21% of trees are witho

Perhaps the ones to best adapt are simultaneously the ones to be the least sensitive to or caring about its ill effects. Not a great setup...

Look up "barefoot shoes". They're usually like you described and additionally undampened (requires different walking technique, no heel-walking anymore).

Yes, it's been like this for a long time now...

More like to a time before the multimedial derangement; when we thought this thing would generally advance (Western) civilization on an individual level. Well played consumer industry and China, anyway!

Since quite some time, but general amnesia is current zeitgeist, which is part of the problem. An endless cycle of forgetting and reposting, information overload. Not that curated, long-lived library of distilled knowledge, that I imagined

AGI will surpass us and reduce our work mobility to ~zero. Anything else is positivity bias.

The impermanence, velocity and arbitrariness of it all is what gets me the most. Nobody (except maybe the silo owners) has any idea what's going on. Shit's produced and instantly forgotten. And holding your mind into the firehose

That other MSM is not mentioned is just showing US influence again. FWIW the EU should have banned non-personal scope MSM the moment it was introduced. Would have certainly helped against Reichsbürger and similar crackpot movements or other

Maybe the separate internet was an exaggeration, but there are things I would never post on a frequently visited public forum, because they're best left unspoken or found if you look for/hear about them in private-ish convo (like

If that exists, it furthers the point for a (high entry barrier) separate internet for responsible folks. Some things are better left out of the spotlight given this IP regime...

That thought actually frightens me, because we would get away with negligently exterminating all these other life forms, part of which has already happened. If there's any justice in this universe we will follow them.

Another phenomenon being the modern content tsunami. Just the new things coming out already overwhelm one's consumption capacity by several orders of magnitude, nevermind the older stuff that I haven't gotten to (includes SNES tit

Basically: another active thinking activity goes passive. As always with society-level events the fallout will become apparent when it has happened.

Apparently forest cover is ~30%. Note that "forest" here uses the wood industry's definition of forest (tree plantation), not the ecological one. Also, it blows my mind every day how thorough and complete our estrangement wit

America does not seem to be a place of collective action (anymore?). Instead everybody is blaming themselves and each other, fuelling a mental health crisis and social malaise. It's not pretty to watch.
