honestly i think the most effective way to lead people away from this digitally-induced culture of self pity, and helplessness, and refusal to take responsibility, is the realization that this hurts no one but them and serves others

and also no one is coming to save you

like if you want to look at short form video or etc all day and deny that it's a problem or deny that you have any hand in it, that's fine. you have free will. if you want to respond to every problem in your life with "someone should intervene" that is your right. but the more you do that, the more you shift your locus of control outward and the more you undercut your own innate ability to change your circumstances

and you are going to fall behind people who aren't doing that. they are going to get ahead of you. they are going to date each other and get married. they are going to take your dream job and your dream opportunities. they are going to make the friends you would have otherwise made. while you lie there they are working to get the things you want and they are going to take your place in the real world. time is passing

the billionaires who have gotten you addicted to this shit are going to suck the life out of you for a little bit of money and you are helping them. they don't care if they waste 10 of the most important years of your life. they don't care if they steal your time. they're making money off of it. if anyone comes to stop them they're going to come too late. and you will pay. no one else is paying your specific price. if we killed them all tomorrow it wouldn't give you years of your life back. only you can do this

#PBS teaches kindness and inclusion, which are threats to abusive paternalism.

"live every day like it's your last": scary. weirdly foreboding. not a good thought process if you get anxious easily. stressful. so much pressure that it loops back around to making you do nothing. "live every day like it's your FIRST": everything becomes fascinating. renews the excitement of discovering things for the first time again. makes you feel like exploring stuff. #mywisdom

i also think it’s an extremely helpful exercise to embrace the gifts of failure, and to be very skeptical of success under white supremacist capitalist patriarchy. who gives these ideas their meanings and values? do we think life is a linear process that leads to success (which is Good) or failure (which is Bad), or is it more complex than that? what dimensions of our lives and selves are not encompassed by conventional ideas of success or failure? i’m a huge fan of failing at things that create harm to myself or others, and it’s often only in hindsight that we understand this was the case. likewise successes can be harmful when we’re on a path that isn’t right for ourselves, our communities, our earth. failure often has more to teach us than success, and is never a final destination.
