| > I think you’re failing account how many people, who are not extremely gullible, are influenced simply by repetitive narratives and group think. Like all those people who work for money, to buy things; repeat, repeat. Take away human language and its hallucinated meaning and we’re just meat based cassette tapes repeating yesterdays application of agency; output complete sentences, feel validated by the dopamine buzz for engaging in anything, eat, shit, go to bed. A whole lot of daily life is just repeating yourself. Office jobs are “capitulate to group think”. Society requires a whole lot of capitulate to group think; everyone needs a tribe and finds one in the end. Only people working directly on infrastructure, health, and tech breakthroughs are moving the needle and even then in small repetitive steps. If you think you’re above that altogether then you’re the one chanting propaganda. Given the complexity of the universe, no center, you have no idea if you’re moving anything forward or backward; you can’t even point in the direction “forward”. Make more 1900s technology and software? Repeat. yawn Time to repeat sleep. Good night. |
