Wonderful advice.
I am spending less time online. I have been spending more time reading, listening to music, watching films, watching videos by David Whyte, enjoying the natural world, & being present. In an age where AI & social media are decreasing attention, I am in quiet revolt.

I think we are up to the “but it often rhymes” part of the “history doesn’t repeat” quote.
Compare & contrast. This is Trump’s demand for Greenland. And this is Hitler’s for the Sudetenland.
There is no difference. The language. The unstoppable need to dominate. The megalomania. It’s the same.
And Keir Starmer’s response is appeasement. We are in that moment.

I'm well aware that this cbs line is just cynical but also it would be so funny if they actually made a nightly news cast that is just like: ZERO EXPERTS, ALL ANALYSIS IS FROM SOME DUDE WE PULLED OFF THE STREET AND HES CONFUSED ABOUT WHY WE ARE FILMING HIM IN THE BUFFALO WILD WINGS PARKING LOT

Agree. They want us to be easily led worker bees.
Big Tech is offering you a Faustian bargain. It promises to remove all the friction from life, to keep you from having to think or study, and the result is your brain will become pudding, you’ll become incapable of creativity or communication. They want to make you a non-person.

“They want us to be overwhelmed. They want us to become benumbed to the mounting horror. They want us to think their success is inevitable & there’s nothing we can do about it. This is how they win. It’s our job in the coming year to prove how wrong they are.”

Im genuinely so befuddled by this; I DON'T LACK IDEAS.
I have so MANY ideas and plans--its time, money, and energy I lack. I don't need genAI to make up stuff for me, my brain does that perfectly well, and I actually love that my brain does that for me.

I’m embarrassed for these people. I was at a writing retreat this summer that suggested we use genai for ideation. They told academics to use a plagiarism machine for ideas. If you are doing this, do us all a favor and leave the field. If you have no more ideas, you shouldn’t be an academic.
I’m sorry, but it is disgraceful to be an academic who uses this technology to conduct research. It should be prohibited in all of our scholarly institutions, including universities and journals.

Exactly.
“In the end,” Trump stated, “govt either serves the productive, patriotic, hardworking American citizen, or it serves those who break the laws, cheat the system and seek power and profit at the expense of our nation.”

By insisting that gravity exists, physicists are excluding those who think it doesn't exist — and reducing the number of ideas by half. I am a professional political commentator.

Just a reminder that Antifa is just an ideology. But if the Chump FBI is truly looking for the founders and leaders of “Antifa”, I can suggest who they should talk to first.

Don’t usually agree with Senator Paul but here we are.
"Branding individuals as 'narco-terrorists' without proof just to open the door to lethal force is not a legitimate policy,it’s a dangerous fantasy. It bypasses due process, shreds constitutional limits, and pushes America toward another unnecessary foreign war."
