2. the Shallows by nicholas carr. this book has everything you need to know

3. Yawn. Boring.

4. I dissabled 90% of my app notifications a little over a year ago following my 19 year old brother's suicide. It's greatly reduced stress to not have constant distractions. Additionally, most of the time my phone is set to silent and I have scheduled do not disturb times too. I've seen many people talk about being addicted to social media and this is a virtually instant cure. When there isn't a little red notification bubble on FB or IG etc. there's no impulse to tap it. I was surprised how quickly I stopped checking social media.

5. I used to be a lot smarter before I

6. Science is telling us to have more casual conversations with our co-workers? No, thanks. I would rather be on twitter arguing with a stranger in Finland about things that will never concern either of us.

7. The abject jew obsession with control and degrading societies ushered in the cellphone/internet leading to a Debordian world.

8. what you call Sabotage i call augments im very forgetful but the one point i find that helps me is question structure and the ability to save information where i need it overall ive made tuns of innovative products but would be so lost without my smartphone its a rather simple mindset and facebook is a tool that aids keeping people in the loop to finding new partners

    Tired of upgrades.
    Let's begin with Windows 3.1
    There was never a Windows 1.0.
    Prior to that was a BBS, most were free and local. Why do we need anti social media?
    Phone numbers are given for a reason.
    Peace ✌
