And the truth is that as a man's real power grows and his knowledge widens, ever the way he can follow grows narrower; until at last he chooses nothing, but does only and wholly what he /must/ do.

Boomers be like, “Just walk into the office and ask for a job.”

The office: locked
The recruiter: AI
The interview: automated
The job posting: fake
The rejection email: instant
Your data: sold

The way men used to sit on porches in the evening doing nothing was not laziness, it was a liturgy. the earth turned and they watched it turn, and that was what souls needed. that quiet hour nobody can give back

You are depressed because your ancestors fought and danced and ate meals together and you eat alone in the dark while staring at a glowing rectangle

@Sam0xSol @vivoplt Sure, but that's not a full time job, you know that? That's a steer call every so often.

@Sam0xSol @vivoplt Last I checked planning and verification agents exist and are doing rather well. In many ways architectural planning is easier for them as they work with minimal starting context at that level. Drilling down, Implementing and refining is then a matter of multi agent coordination.

I have not seen a single mainstream media outlet give this the attention it deserves.

Israel blew up an entire Lebanese town, an ancient place. It should be headline news. There’s footage of it happening.

Imagine this was your town, and you saw every building blown up by a terrorist army to prevent you from ever returning. You would at the very least expect wall to wall coverage. Instead it passes without a word.

It’s not the only town Israel has blown up. And sadly it probably won’t be the last.

The embarrassing slew of fake dross from NASA these last 5 days indicates just how desperate they've become re the ever waning credibility of their alleged moon missions.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Death is always lurking. We see it in violence, in the wounds of the world, in the cry of pain that rises from every corner because of the abuses that crush the weakest among us, because of the idolatry of profit that plunders the earth’s resources, because of the violence of war that kills and destroys. #Easter

@bruce_arthur That's not satire then? An organisation so corrupt to its core it has spent the last nearly 70 years lying and extorting money from US citizens?

[nihil.near @tomsky]

@latestinspace So all you can muster is some blurry thin cresent of the earth? No live footage of it becoming smaller as they allegedly continue on to orbit round the moon? Instead we get a visualisation "live stream". Anybody believing this is lost.

[The Architect. @TheMarcitect]

I thought there would have been wall to wall coverage and great camera shots for the moon mission by NASA to prove everyone wrong about them faking everything. But apparently all we get is a visualization of what it might look like.. This isn't helping NASA's case at all.

@HealthRanger We will see the odd staged clip with accompanying footage of a pixilated lunar surface. I wonder where the astronots will be during this latest round of fakery.

@mattvanswol Thou thinkest a shopping mall some decades ago to be even close to this vaunted authenticity to which thou alludest? Try to imagine living in Constantinople at its height, for instance.

They removed CD/DVD drives from devices.
They made physical media harder to buy and use.
They removed expandable storage from phones.
They pushed us into streaming subscriptions.
They made always-online normal.
They made unlimited internet necessary.
Then slowly raised the price of everything.

Ownership quietly became renting.

One of my contrarian takes:

Society peaked in the 80s, and it’s been in slow decline ever since.

It was the last era of widespread optimism. You can feel it in the music and movies.

“Excess meets innocence.”

The 80s also mark the end of the analog world—local economies, in-person everything, and a certain forced simplicity.

Malls, movie theaters, magazines, and BMX.

Then, beginning in the 90s, came the tidal wave of tech:

Mobile phones
The internet
Social media
AI

All incredible innovations, with lots of positives. But on the whole I think they’re *net negatives* for society.

We replaced a finite, real-world experience with an infinite, digital one.

Infinite information. Infinite comparison. Infinite distraction.

Human’s aren’t wired for that, and you can see the consequences all around us.

Good to see the rotten zionist controlled petro-dollar empire for what it is - now that the masks are off.
