I am getting older, and beginning to think more about whether dementia comes for me in the next 30-40 years. I feel like these are not very good for my mind.
I am very productive at my job but my head feels more cluttered than before. The monastic life never chose me, but I still believe hesychasm is a directional ideal that it never hurts to shoot for. These things, as useful and sometimes even as fun as they are, will never help me acquire the spirit of peace
I need to find a new way to make a living and only use these things on my own terms, and my family can’t afford such a reset. If these things ever do achieve the fantasy scenario their worshippers pray for, then perhaps at least we can stop thinking about them and let them manage themselves out of sight and out of mind

1000% No. I already have to play Manager to move through modern life enough as it is
I work with computers but I do not want to become a computer, and I don’t believe other people should become computers either
I am tired of these weird perverts psychosexually assaulting us every day in their polyamorous sex dungeons of the mind, and it’s barely gotten started
I'm not sure that people want to live this way.
Well, I think 10% of people want about 20% of this.
And 0.001% want 100% of it.
Having spent 2005- 2020 trying to make up good use cases for tech, it dawned on me this isn't how people are. Nor is the world built for this.

Yes this was tried in the 18th century. It started a political movement called Everything That Has Happened Since Then
Every single one of these sensational cases of corruption and human horrors out of Massachusetts in recent years has emerged from the fetid Hibernian exurb colonies of the “South Shore” btw
🚨 INDICTED ON 16 RAPE COUNTS: Massachusetts police officer and her husband accused of repeatedly RAPING a boy entrusted to their care, beginning when he was just 14.
📍 Plymouth, Massachusetts
Samantha Pelrine, 31, faces 5 child rape counts. Her husband, Daniel Forand, 37, faces 11 rape counts, plus additional charges.
The abuse continued for years. Both were released on bail following their March arrests.
SHE WAS A POLICE OFFICER. THE PERSON A CHILD SHOULD BE ABLE TO RUN TO FOR HELP.
Now she’s facing child rape charges involving a boy who lived under her own roof.
The Troopification of the trades is an interesting phenomenon. On one hand, I do accept that framing to a degree. But they have their own Thin Blue Line style merch now. And I can’t help but sense a fetishistic undertone
For anyone who questioned where Reich believes the Modern Human lineage comes and what was living in Africa 300,000 years ago, now it is very clear. biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

Just as pornography can stimulate the human sex drive without providing any actual sex, and democracy can stimulate the human power drive without providing any actual power, so AI can stimulate the thirst for intelligence without providing any understanding of God.

Guy on /r/Hermeticism says his father received the answer to an indoor plumbing problem directly from God in 1998.
Imagine facing years of derision for your Québécois Are Latino Theory only for this to appear upon your timeline
POV: You told a rude Québécois kid who gave you grief for daring to speak English that fries are better with ketchup than as poutine, so now he's folk-dancing to defend the village's honour.

You have always been a target of psychological warfare, and it is now tailored ever more specifically to the individual. You can laugh at the ordinance intended for others but may never notice those made just for you
The reason why you find this so absurd and silly is because most of you can’t conceptualize the inner life of someone with a 80 IQ. They believe these videos are real.
There’s now an economy of people in Pakistan who make $1500 a month to make these videos.
