"The reality is life is a single-player game. You’re born alone. You’re going to die alone. All of your interpretations are alone. All your memories are alone. You’re gone in three generations and nobody cares. Before you showed up, nobody cared. It’s all single-player."

How many times will people fall for this? 🤦
Independence Day is the perfect time to ask if you want independence from the two-party (some would say uniparty) system!
Should we create the America Party?
Evidence shows unhealthy parents create unhealthy kids. We are a sick society. Are we creating sick AI?
the sickness:
+ sacrifice all for power, prestige and status
+ martyrdom as the badge of honor
+ hate, outrage and division as tools of profit
+ engineered addiction: food, digital, stimulants
+ a state of perpetual, culturally enforced anxiety
the result:
+ chronic sleep deprivation
+ decimated willpower
+ metabolic dysregulation
+ impaired judgement
+ short term reward fixation
+ loneliness
+ making us animal-like in thought and action
enslavement:
+ addictions becomes our master
+ burnout, anxiety disorders, and inadequacy
+ chronic dopamine-deficit state
+ perpetual hollowness
+ craving the next hit
We fear a rogue creation without reflection that we may be the rogues.
Fear creates its own self-fulfilling dynamic- as people give into it, they lose energy and momentum. Their lack of confidence translates into inaction that lowers confidence levels even further, on and on.
