#AmusingOurselvesZombies

People on Reddit social media say it is entertaining and funny to watch people kill each other over hate in the Middle East / Levant. Spectacle and gadget thrills.

Out-group hate has been normalized. Mocking has been normalized. Trusting Russia's monomyth meme patterns has been normalized. Cambridge Analytica copycats have been normalized.

#Russia and #MiddleEast have shown humanity that #Freedom doesn't work when people hate each other. When hate motivates people to terrorism and war, there is no freedom. Or it is a horror like Russia has inflicted on Ukraine or how terrorism only inspires surprise attacks at any time on any person. Strangers, even across the world, teaching and encouraging hate is a threat to the whole world, all people everywhere. Hate motivation wrecks goodness.

#SurkovAftermath / the #Surkov cracking of the monomyth in 2011 has found the world unprepared.

Despite how bad clergy was at teaching compassion, eliminating what good that remained of religion has only worsened the human condition world-wide.

Somewhere along the line we mocked away the idea of "ministry of love"... and have mostly relegated compassion education to musicians and what's left of clergy.

Clergy these days seem to inspire out-group hate and terrorism more than compassion.

Are people world wide planning heaven?

How can anyone say anything about the world needing to love one another anymore. Of course I am scared, people mock that Hitler was a "failed artist" and I am sure people mock that Surkov is a "failed writer" who also failed at working at the Kremlin. Hitler's art was inspiring hate.

Pagers as killing devices in the Middle East to try and take out terrorism.

1. Support Malala, educate girls across all Earth who are not given equality of education and choice marriage.
2. The world needs teachers, educators, clergy that teach equality of all humans world wide. Peace, ending war, ending hate. Regardless of religion, we need all humanity to be on Team Earth.

Microsoft laid off hundreds of workers last week.

In total, it has laid off over 2500 employees so far this year.

Its CEO was paid $48.5M in 2023 — 250x the company's typical worker.

Yesterday, the company announced a $60B stock buyback program.

Textbook corporate greed.

The World Dream was heaven. And and even better one was heaven without Hell.

I can't write what I want to say. The language is so broken between people. Neil Postman was right in many of his 1980's and 1990's books. James Joyce was right in language of Finnnegans Wake.

Russia, you started war where no war was needed. And the dreams you wrecked, the lives and peace taken from Ukraine and Russia both. The world needed Russia to authentically be kind to Ukraine, not harm and war.

Students in my War and Holocaust course struggle to understand the Nazi Revolution. How does a party which wins 38% in 1932 move so quickly to a one-party dictatorship? It’s several things:

1. Fear. Am I really prepared to oppose this violent, lawless clique?

2. Opportunism. What can I gain by aligning myself to the movement?

3. Ambiguity. Is there real danger here? Maybe I can ride this out and go back to my life when the clouds pass?

The average American is oblivious to what's going on in this country because the media won't tell them, the media fully supports the fascists, and honestly, it feels like self-harm trying to keep up with it yourself. Because things are so bad and so far gone already you wonder how we'll ever get back from it.

The anger and tone of the USA is the worst I've seen. It has been getting worse all 2024. It isn't just Twitter, it isn't only Fox News, there is a mass dehumanization attitude of "the other".

There are so many examples of people being angry and embracing hate that just glancing at the news feeds for 20 minutes is too much to break down. Waves of reactions.

Smartphone notifications are eclipsing the USA mass mind behaviors. Hearts and minds aren't being saved, but hardened

Although it can often feel like talking to ourselves, posting on social media can be like thinking out loud, an opportunity to sort out thoughts, feelings;
To vent about things we have little control over;
And by expressing them here, they lose power over us and we better understand ourselves.

Anyway, good talk.

"The underlying aim, Surkov says, is not to win the war, but to use the conflict to create a constant state of destabilized perception, in order to manage and control." - year 2014

Haven't we all witnessed this with Russia vs. Ukraine? This is self-destructive for Russia, self-destructive for the whole world.

Surkov didn't see the whole picture. There is no control. There is pain. Russia pain from World War Two, Cold War, inflicted upon Ukraine. Spreading pain.

This op-ed in the Harvard Crimson this morning brings up interesting points about use of ChatGPT in academic settings, even when encouraged to do so.

"Learning how to access these different perspectives in primary sources like textbooks and papers is something else that ChatGPT makes obsolete. Students can get answers about any topic by asking GPT to summarize a source, rather than engaging with it firsthand through libraries or journals."

“It was miraculous. It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honor, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice. Anybody could do it; it required no brains at all. It merely required no character.”

Dear tech bros,
As someone who craves routine & will happily stick with a product they like forever as long as it doesn’t change much, please quit fucking with stuff.

I’m sick of being pushed from browser to browser, app to app because companies keep being dickheads.

Stop being dickheads.
Stop inserting ads and preventing me from blocking that shit.
Stop pumping “AI” into products when nobody wants it.

I will be the most loyal user if you’d just stop fucking with stuff.

Reminder, behind every post on the Internet is a person. A person somewhere in the world, with feelings and a life that is far more complex than anything they put online. So the next time you say something shitty to someone online, or start drama over some post, or are hateful to someone, you are actively hurting a person somewhere in the world. Some person outside the internet just like yourself. Be kind, people. Even on the internet. Online life is just as real as offline life (I refuse to use the term "real life"). Keep all of this in mind.
