I followed a crowd. It led me here.

Search is full of ads and wrong answers. Every other email is an ad. Prime Video charges you and shows ads. Paramount? Ads. Peacock? YouTube? Hulu? Ads followed by more ads. Netflix full of ads. Meta and X, every other thing is an ad. Pinterest is nothing but ads. AI is in everything. AI finishes sentences incorrectly and won’t stop. AI reads your email and search history to target you with more ads. Every time you open an app or visit a site there’s an update making it worse. In a hurry? First, click here to agree to terms you don’t have time to read and must accept. You need an account to do that. Change your temporary password. Enter your 2FA code. Check your email and enter that code. Now use a passkey. Your password is too simple to remember. Change it. No, not like that. Now log on. Enter your 2FA code.

We’ve got to update your laptop and will slow down everything you do until you agree to update. But first, click here to agree. Update installed — your laptop’s broken now. It doesn’t matter, since your boss just replaced you with AI. Go to your phone to complain on social media. Wait, your phone needs an update so we can add more AI. Click here. Oh sorry, your phone can’t handle this update. Now it’s useless. Go get the newest phone. Here’s a text from a friend, an email, a voice mail they left three days ago but you didn’t see until now because of sync problems with the cloud. It’s their GoFundMe. Their MLM. Their Patreon. Never mind, you didn’t respond to their text within 9 minutes and now you’re no longer friends. They blocked you. Make new friends. Download this app to find people in your area. In your neighborhood. On your street. Two doors down from you. Do you know this person yet, we think you’d get along. You need an account to use this app. That username is taken. Enter a password. Not that one, you used it on another site. You need to be connected to WiFi to download the app. Allow the app to connect to other devices on your network. Allow the app to access your contacts, know your precise location, store your credit card details. Oops, sorry, we got hacked now all that info is available on the web. There’s a class action suit. You can join. It’ll take a decade to get your $3.73 share of the ten billion settlement. We’ll send it via PayPal or deposit it to your bank, just tell us those details. Oh no, another hack. That info is circulating now, too. Here’s a spam call, a spam email, a spam text. Why are you angry? Why are you talking about getting rid of your phone? Why don’t you like AI, it lets us make all of this easier? Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? This is progress. You’ll be left behind. Do you want to be left behind? Do you???

It's so bizzare to realise that we will all never truly know what we tell one another!

I call it the 'great barrier of realities'.

Nothing's waiting for us in the great sky
Life is equal to dust in the balancer's eye
Now I know that I can't lift an old curse
Tell me, how does a man change the universe?

I should have known better
Nothing can be changed
The past is still the past
The bridge to nowhere

[Pavas @pavasdixit]

Very hard to experience the true nature of anything if all one has are derivatives and second hand information. Sigh!

[Pavas @pavasdixit]

There's only two things that I know about the Universe.

1. I experience it with my senses and they are inadequate.

2. I have created stories upon stories to understand it and in the process forgotten the first story I told myself.

[Pavas @pavasdixit]

The nature of existence is so far beyond that it can only be explained in abstract.

An ant cannot and will never find its way to Dubai from Mumbai.

It'll need to become something else to walk that distance.

A question arises then - is it the same ant that took the journey?

[Pavas @pavasdixit]

She said it.

I have not seen anyone describing moden India so well and so accurately in just 2:38 secs.

You will only end up appreciating India after watching this video.

@deepigoyal @zomato @Swiggy 'Everyday' solved for this but passess could give the flexibility of choosing the restaurants and what to eat. That should be a big thumbs up.

[Pavas @pavasdixit]

@deepigoyal @zomato @Swiggy Monthly passess, guys! Pls. 🍜

9k monthly for 'all you can eat' food from restaurants of customer's choosing.
