• Once we've made "digital visibility" the primary source of our identity, status and self-respect, we've doomed ourselves to wandering, compass-less, in a vast artificial wasteland.
    That social media is addictive is self-evident. The temptation to continue scrolling is as limitless as the vast wasteland of content.
    The destructive nature of this addiction is also self-evident. The net result of this addiction is depression, anxiety and rising rates of self-harm and suicide.
    The immense profitability of addiction to screens and social media establishes the corporate incentives to increase their addictive power and thwart attempts to limit this profitable power. Who cares about self-harm and depression when shareholder value is at stake?
    Though social media is pitched as connecting us all, it's actually about control: the platforms control the flow of user-created content, the addictive mechanisms and the monetization of user engagement.

  • Why Is Social Media So Toxic?
    The desire to improve our social standing is natural. What's unnatural is the toxicity of doing so through social media.
    It seems self-evident that the divisiveness that characterizes this juncture of American history is manifesting profound social and economic disorders that have little to do with politics. In this context, social media isn't the source of the fire, it's more like the gasoline that's being tossed on top of the dry timber. So why is social media so toxic to healthy dialog and tolerance, and to those who live much of their lives via social media? Because in the social media world, there are no moderating feedbacks. Anyone who dares question the extremism being reinforced by the "tribe" is quickly attacked or ejected from the tribe. Attacking moderate voices increases the potential "rewards" / likes from tribal members.

    Aaron Rodgers is a quarterback for the New York Jets and 4-time NFL Most Valuable Player. He's been cancelled by the Left for his stance on vaccines, criticism of Jimmy Kimmel, and general free-thinking.

  • The only way the Democrats can succeed in turning America into a socialist hell-hole, as they wish, is to eliminate the middle-class entirely. This requires ruining the infrastructure of fuel, food, water and other key supplies to the extent that they are either hardly available, unaffordable, or utterly non-existent.

    What STAGED infrastructure and supply-line destruction event will be next for the Biden Regime?
    From fake climate-change wildfires that fuel the green new scam agenda, to food and fertilizer processing plants across America serendipitously blowing up and burning down, and from bridges being destroyed by so-called “hacked” cargo ships, to livestock being poisoned with arsenic and spike protein injections, we are all witnessing the planned destruction of the Republic, […]

  • Researchers have identified stars in our Milky Way galaxy that are surrounded by super-advanced alien megastructures known as spheres is a hypothetical megastructure that encompasses a star and captures a large percentage of its solar power output. These structures, first proposed in the Star Trek pilot in 60s, could be built by highly technologically advanced and alien civilizations. The most extreme versions might include a solid sphere or swarms of gigantic structures around the star. If such megastructures exist, we might be able to detect them by looking for infrared excess emissions (IEEs) caused by the heat from the star interacting with the sphere."
