i accidentally discovered one of the coolest features on the internet
the Wikipedia app has a "nearby" feature that shows wikipedia articles around your location!
i opened it and instantly fell into a rabbit hole of random places, local history and weird things around me
try it and tell me what shows up near you
In 10,000 years, your country won’t exist. The borders will be dissolved, and your language will be extinct or unrecognizable.
Your digital footprint will be gone, and data will rot faster than stone. Most of what defined us today, money, politics, status and online lives, will vanish without context.
What survives will be fragments: misread, mythologized, guessed at, and wrong.
The uncomfortable truth is this: human certainty is an illusion built on missing data. We don’t know where we truly came from. We don’t know how many civilizations rose, advanced, and quietly reset before us.
As history shows us, it isn’t a straight line of progress, it’s a series of collapses, with survivors writing the story. And we don’t know if we’re evolving… or just approaching another reset.
If babies understood embarrassment, most of them would never learn to walk or speak because of the amount of failure required to improve.
This was one of our first lessons in life but somehow, we forgot
If a simple coffee shop has a bot farm with 100s of phones to amplify their message, please consider what a foreign agency or adversarial operator is running on your favorite social media platform.
Especially today, please consider that the opinions you read, the calls to violence you hear, and the news you digest, are all an operation done to sow hatred in your mind and your soul.
Do not let anyone online turn you into something that you are not. Rationalize everything, take everything with a grain of salt, question everything for yourself, not based on how someone online is questioning it.
Turn off all distractions and focus on the mission you have, not the mission of someone trying to control your mind.
Imagine being Miyazaki, pouring decades of heart and soul into making this transcendent beautiful tender style of anime, and then seeing it get sloppified by linear algebra
I still cannot believe that I can:
- look at a world map and tap anywhere to zoom in at street level
- instantly access any song, book, movie, tv show, or podcast ever made
- have any conceivable question and get an immediate answer or video explanation
- take a photo or video wherever I am and add it to my massive, searchable, always accessible personal archive
- video call anyone in my life, at anytime, no matter where they are
- watch live sports on a little wireless glass rectangle
- type out these thoughts and have them read by thousands of people, all over the world, a few seconds later
I think millennials stopped posting on IG, bc they started overthinking it. A person will watch every story, but their last post was in 2014. The app is for images/and now videos. Get back to the basics. Post the sunrise. Not everytime a photoshoot.
