While reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot.
I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.

Epstein had many known connections to Silicon Valley CEOs, but less known was how he made money from those relationships.
We did a deep dive into how he got dealflow in Silicon Valley, giving him shots to invest in Coinbase, Palantir, SpaceX and other companies.

So I knew that putting your phone at greyscale can help with dopamine seeking & doomscrolling but it can be too severe for use 24/7, screwing with its purpose
What I didn't know is that colorblind settings can have the same effect at high strengths without totally screwing with color visibility

Not for nothing but that system absolutely exists.
In fact several systems like that exist. Its just the US & its allies have spent hundreds years aggressively demonizing it. To the point where Liberals call them as bad or worse then the fascists.

one of the most transformational things you can do if you're feeling completely overwhelmed by the world is to start recognizing those big feelings as grief for the collective. you're grieving — we all are.
once you reframe those feelings as grief, you can treat them differently.
