The nice & accurate prophecies of a pretty high White guy
Former Yt fundie Mennonite trying to just be a decent White guy. I get high and I know things. Sometimes I get some interesting ideas. Sometimes I write that shit down. Overeducated and underemployed. I got issues. Lot's of issues. But just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you. Mostly harmless. But it's publish or perish out here baby, so if you publish on one of my ideas w/o my name on the paper I'll be waiting in your closet some night.
You can find my writings by searching for #ph4wg original. pronouns: he/him/they/them/comrade.

When you interact, you feed the algorithm. When you interact, the algorithm feeds you more rage and despair. My mental health is a mess and curation is going to be the death of me. I need to let that shit float on by on my feed and not even pause while scrolling.
Some people are learning, organizing, and wasting the trolls' time. Some people are here to face that shit down. I'm proud of you. Keep doing what you want. Just understand why you are seeing more and more of this stuff as your network becomes more and more fixated on certain issues as curation keeps feeding you more of what you engage with or even just pause over while scrolling.
i must not stir the pot. stirring the pot is the notifications-killer. participation in the discourse is the little-death that brings total activity obliteration. i will face the bad opinions on the internet. i will permit them to pass over me and through me. and when they have gone past, i will turn the block button onto their source. where the discourse has come from there will be nothing. only i will remain.
we should globally ban the introduction of more powerful computer hardware for 10-20 years, not as an AI safety thing (though we could frame it as that), but to force programmers to optimize their shit better
“You’d be surprised how quickly the mind goes soggy in the absence of other people. One person alone is not a full person: we exist in relation to others. I was one person: I risked becoming no person.”
