A follow up to yesterday’s post:
“The Demiurge vis-à-vis the mediocre”
The architect of infinite content will be confronted with the banality of what it actually produces.
I know you notice the wave of AI slop…
Val Kilmer “resurrected” on Easter.
“Don’t fear the dead and don’t fear me.”
It’s undeniable. The future is here in the muck.
We are Treading quicksand and deep water daily.
Soon it will be impossible and impractical to attempt to determine what’s “real” and what is not.
Acceptance. Is the way. “Their” way at least,
I think, ultimately, the end game of social media has ALWAYS been to “normalize” “poorly produced” content. The common man. “Sharing his day.”
Very easy to produce.
You know it’s true.
Over the last two decades we have been inundated with the lowest level of thinking and feeling. On purpose.
The Demiurge Vis-à-vis" the mediocre.
The future is now.
🚨 GUYS ARE SMASHING THEIR OWN FACES WITH HAMMERS TO “LOOKSMAXX” — DOCTORS ARE SOUNDING THE ALARM ON THE CLAVICULAR TREND
A disturbing trend is spreading online:
Young men are deliberately hitting their cheekbones and jaws with hammers, pans, anything they can find, believing it will make them more “chiseled.”
It’s being pushed by influencer “Clavicular” (800K followers), who claims:
“When you break the bone, it grows back stronger.”
Doctors warn this can lead to:
• Permanent nerve damage
• Facial paralysis or numbness
• Brain injury + concussions
• In one case: a fracture behind the eye → blindness
Experts say this trend is fueling body dysmorphia among young men, driven by social media pressure and extreme “looksmaxing” culture.
Who do you blame more... the influencer or the people doing it?
You’re shown carefully selected images, same clouds, same angle, supposedly 12 hours apart, and no one stops to think. A skydiver can film everything in high quality, but somehow a multi-billion dollar mission gives you blurry, choppy footage, and people just accept it. They show you fragments, they distract you when it matters, and as long as no one questions it, the illusion holds https://t.co/VvDf4qOAlb
Option 1, rent a house for $2500/month
Option 2, give the bank $100,000 and pretend you own a house for $4000/month knowing $2700 is going to interest.
