Attention is the economy now. Taking others time, time=money, you follow. So now everyone is a whore for a cause. Feeding soulless algorithms to calm our hunger for connection. Through synthetic we find authentic? Something here feels out of focus. We need to shift our attention.
Hate creates attention. Post misinformation and gain popularity. Hot takes, the most heated, mean the more impressions. “Algorithm hacking” they call it. The more vile, the more viral. We are racing to the bottom chasing our algorithms. Synthetic posing as authentic. Be vigilant.
What you create is less important than how you market it. Imagine any artist of the past focused on selling their art over mastering their craft. Some find mARkeTing. Most just create endless AI slop to appease algorithms.
We live in the age where marketing matters more than the product itself. Meaning the product comes second to the story it’s selling. No longer does your product have to be original or even quality, you just have to convince the algorithms you’re worth it.
“Modern man does not experience himself as a part of nature but as an outside force destined to dominate and conquer it. He even talks of a battle with nature, forgetting that, if he won the battle, he would find himself on the losing side," -Ernst F. Schumacher
How do we fill the voids in our lives? What quiets the screams? What will we do to feel whole again?

Feels like activism has become performative street art. Good intentions with misguided actions. No space for conversation because you are the enemy if you think different than my echo chamber.
A dangerous blend of righteousness and ignorance… 💣✨
The irony of being blinded by light. The arrogance of intelligence. The illusion of knowledge. The more you have, the less you have.
“As we expand the area of knowledge, so too does the perimeter of ignorance.” -NDT
PSA: The arrogance of sanctimony silences dissent. Every war is good versus good. Blood is always shed with honor. Pawns are sacrificed as the kings play chess.
It’s important to note, the pawns should not be sacrificing themselves. We should be united in sacrificing the king.
