omg is THAT what happens?? I've been wondering why every time I'm really freaking out, my hands start to get tingly and they get stuck in a certain position (for me it's more like a claw than a fist). Thanks for the explanation.

You're basically fucked if you don't have a smartphone nowadays because it's like your wallet/keys/money/bank/email/notepad everything in one. And yet at the same time it spies on you and spams you with notifications and ads.

Overall the necessity and ubiquitousness of our tech but it's also hostile to the user and almost inescapable.

Yeah I get em from anna/libgen etc. So I took an epub, converted it to kepub, but when I copy pasted it onto my kobo it didn't show up in my book list. Did I do it wrong?

What no theory does to a mfer. Poor guy. He's been dooming so hard.

I'm not sure if I get it, is he saying that because stuff, given infinite time, will eventually turn into stuff that makes a brain, it's therefore an 'attribute' of it?

Is this like saying consciousness is in everything? I've been getting into spiritual stuff but I can't help feel like it's at odds with dialectical materialism. Does this bridge the two together?

Fuck, this describes my parents completely... I think my dad is a lost cause but at least my mom listens to me. How can I help her deprogram from this?

Where do we get information now? Should we go back to the library and take out books? Feels like the age of easy information is over.

The post is also sus because if you look at other discussions, there's 2 other uploads of the same video with the same exact title (I'm assuming 'hash truth' is supposed to be 'harsh'? if so then they made the same exact misspelling). But it's not the same account. Each one is a different username who uploaded it. Wtf.

It's weird because you often see more left-leaning stuff in this sub, like pro-Palestine vids. But Reddit does lean reactionary, as we all know. reddit-logo

What do you think? Astroturfed or no?

Also this dude's argument reminds me of what I read in Ibrahim X. Kendi's How To Be An Antiracist where he recalls, in his his youth, being convinced by white supremacist America to find fault in his own culture and blame it all on himself and his black peers, and trying to assimilate and distance himself from it, rather than seeking liberation.

 

It takes up the whole damn screen and it keeps going a bit more lmao
