I'm not sure how I feel about how easy it was to train TikTok to feed me an endless stream of big tiddy girls dancing big tiddy dances. Other than the obvious response.
Is that what's happened here? TikTok exposed my weakness? Or is TikTok mostly just... big tiddy girls? It's so hard to tell these days. But I'm struggling to complain. Is this the system working?

Since the start of the year I've made a few changes regarding social media. I've deleted the Instagram app, deleted Twitter, and moved Facebook and Messenger to an inconvenient place on my device. I'd remove those too, but that's still the primary avenue for a lot of IRl friends to contact me.
And just between us girls, I haven't re-enabled my work emails on my device since the new year either. So far so good. Dr. Cal Newport on quitting social media It's Just Another Ted Talk, but it definitely inspired me to make a few changes with how I engage with technology and social media.

These people are nuts. And Google is perfectly happy to facilitate it, because clicks.

Google et al makes things worse, but fuck-knuckles like this George Web can go run themselves through a woodchipper as far as I'm concerned.

Who or what might benefit from people becoming active in their suspicion about comms tech? Maybe what's happening in NZ and elsewhere is collateral damage of an attack meant to undermine somewhere specific?
Or is it just trolls all the way down?

Social media has accentuated everything bad about humanity and made us paranoid, terrified, and gullible. If it wasn't 5G it would be something else. Geo-engineering. Vaccines. Marxist preschool teachers. Something.

Social media is amplifying many things, including things that are going wrong.
We've worked so hard to separate parents from parenting. Kids go to shitty schools, come home to overworked parents. Parents who grew up with the same. How does wisdom, discipline, insight transmit? Those who actively seek insight, who knows what they'll find in their naivete?

Here's another thing that, IMHO, is contributing to the death spiral: parenting has become such hard work, with so little in the way of support (unless you're really lucky), that good people are discouraged from becoming parents. What rational actor would sign on for this?

Unfortunately what this virus is showing us, is that humanity has built up a herd immunity to common sense and intelligence.
Lightspeed, all we can do is keep doing what we're doing. Instill the best of us in our kids, take the time to impart the wisdom we have inherited, and hope that enough like minded people do the same. Keep trying to infect the gullible and less fortunate with knowledge, and pray that no vaccine for common sense is invented |

"He that is to govern a whole nation must read in himself, not this or that particular man, but mankind"
The whole idea of the social contract that was the backbone of the american revolution was based around this premise. The Hobbesian concept of "state of nature" presupposes that the worst of humanity will come to the fore when left to it's own devices. What i'm yet to see in Leviathan, is the situation of when a population knowingly and willingly appoint the worst aspects of humanity to the paramount role, a leader who openly incites a "war of all against all" and a return to "state of nature" but under HIS rule. "bellum omnium contra omnes" (war of all against all) While we aren't facing the same level of problems as America, it still seems as though our leaders are failing to address the base premise of who is fit to govern, and what their responsibilities actually entail. Personally, I see democracy as a wartime solution, and post wartime solution. Once enough time lapses, and the horrors of war are no longer prevalent in the minds of the populace or the politicians. The desire to do whats right for mankind during war is simple. The desire to do whats right when there is no gun pointing at your population is somewhat harder. It also encourages leanings towards doing right for the "particular man" so as to better position yourself during your encumbency and to grease wheels for life after your time serving your country. A reformed version of democracy needs to be established, one that harks back to the original premise, but in a modernised version of it's elegant simplicity. And yes, i'm reading Hobbes, Leviathan. It's quite an interesting read if you're into that kind of thing |

Social media is indeed about to get fucked.
Trump will sign an executive order on social media companies: White House spokeswoman https://www.reuters.com/article/us-t...-idUSKBN2333BT Lets celebrate! hopefully we won't see those godawful banners on every site "Hey, looks like you want the truth on COVID19, we know the truth so here's what you should be reading / watching" |

You know that's in direct response to Twitter finally doing something about Trump's misinformation, yea?

No, I mean he'll have forgotten about being pissed today and blathering on about executive orders and regulation, and tomorrow he'll be pissed about something else.

Word is we'll see an order within the coming hours. Which I really hope is the case. It could be truly beautiful to see unfold.
Trump is an addict threatening to call the cops on his dealer.

Something is gonna come to a head, that's for sure. The whole drama is a bit mind bending, I can't get my head around all the angles.
