Rethink your constructions of what you consider to be "real"

Things we often take to be unreal in a materialist sense, like movies, social media, video games, etc.. have "real" physiological and cognitive effects on us.

The only flipping of birds I hope you see today

[Michigan Storm Chasers @MiStormChasers]

Ladies and gentlemen.... we have finally reached that time of year where birds are beginning to migrate northward for spring! Over the next 3 days, over 75 million birds are expected to be in migration across the US! This is happening a bit ahead of schedule, with hummingbirds already being reported in the Tennessee valley regions.

Have you seen anything interesting this year yet?

Awakenings by Oliver Sacks. A story I highly recommend for anyone interested in the intersection of philosophy, psychology and what it means to be human!

No sermons, but what about poetry? tips for gardening?

Is AI something that promotes faith? Discourages it?

[NEXTA @nexta_tv]

The Pope urged priests not to write sermons using ChatGPT

During a meeting with clergy of the Diocese of Rome, Pope Leo XIV warned about the “temptation” to entrust homilies to artificial intelligence.

According to him, if one does not train one’s own mind, it will “atrophy.”

“AI will never be able to preach the faith,” he stressed.

The pontiff added that Christianity is not about the formal recitation of prayers, but about a living relationship with God.

[Adam Bartley @bartadamley]

and not to mention that inherent sense of shame one feels internally after "waking" from their social media stupor

[Adam Bartley @bartadamley]

So the question is then if you choose to engage with social media - how do you cultivate attention elsewhere?

Because clearly sustained attention isn't a benefit of using social media.....
