Today working on a phone or laptop is associated with upper-middle-class knowledge work. In ten years, it will be a kind of low-status, blue-collar, manual labor; you won't want to be seen doing it in public.
A megatrend over the next ten years will be the disappearance of screens. We'll move to e-ink displays for anything that requires visual inspection, but the most elite and coveted, high-value work will be screenless, engaged with analog materials, and voice-first. Looking into all of these backlit screens, scrolling and typing with your thumbs on tiny keyboards, squinting at tabs and pixels with a "mouse"—you can already feel these are absurd, awful relics of a past time.
if you don't exercise (yet are capable), so much of your energy goes to your mind due to the separation between you and your body. lack of movement is responsible for the overthinking, overprocessing, addictions to social media, overfunctioning, sex without a heart connection, and obsessive shopping and consumption of booze and the like. your body is a nuclear powerhouse, the portal that nourishes souls from heaven to earth. if that powerful energy you innately possess in your body is not channeled, it will almost always lead to something destructive.
@the3acchus@ZaidJilani Not sure about them, but “you” definitely don’t seem capable of creating anything new either. You probably would have got bum fucked by an antelope on the American frontier
@the3acchus@ZaidJilani If they try to create a new nation here, you lot will start shouting colonization. Much like the native Americans when your grandparents arrived unless you are some kind of Hispanic
@ZiganaKhan Some Pakistanis are probably close to the IVC because their grandparents have converted from Hinduism not so long ago.
The unbroken lineage with thousands of sites and customs are in India.
the more i learn about history, the more I appreciate America. America is actually an extremely cool and special anomaly in the timeline of civilizations. It's so successful that it's allowed the people inside it to lose touch with how bad things can truly be
