I'm convinced that ASMR is going to screw up a generation of kids. Squeezy, overemphasised, nail-tappy, whisper videos are hyper-sexualised and they make their way into kids recommendations on YouTube etc. It's weird and creepy.

Especially when perpetuated en masse by a population becoming increasingly aware of and speculative of the phenomenon. If foreign adversaries are looking to gather intelligence on tech capabilities, it helps to throw things out there like "we've captured incomprehensibly advanced tech"

As the UAP disclosure gathers pace, I'm (strangely) starting to think it's something else... In a scenario where a foreign adversary has become technologically superior in terms of spying, info gathering etc - it makes sense to muddy the information being gathered. Rumours and speculation are particularly muddy...

Yeah it's a strange one - I'm looking for books in a similar vein as I think there are probably interesting things to be said around alternative paths than the standard career path/orienting towards meaningful work etc. Although I've heard some mixed reviews about this one

I think I've built up a walking dependency for thinking clearly. Not sure how to feel about that just yet. Winter is going to suck, probably.

Got this notification 3 times today so went to the ER. Turns out I’m the youngest patient this doc has ever seen with AFib. Wouldn’t have noticed if it weren’t for the watch

And here I am, a hypocrite, publicly displaying my disgust at it all. Probably for recognition in the form of internet points. This all sucks.

It's the classic person claiming that "I wouldn't have gone along with the Nazi regime, I'm too morally good for that". No. You're clearly not. We're flawed from the inside out and you would have went right along with it. I don't normally get like this, but seeing how people reacted to this story is just sad.

What is wrong with human circuitry that this sheer, morbid curiosity just has a hold on us? Why turn your head at a traffic accident? Why does a tragedy like this need minute to minute reporting, complete with LED countdown clock of how much air they have left until they all die?

And if you can't possibly suppress your inherent whataboutist response - it hardly needs spelled out, refugees dying at sea is fucking awful too. And fuck me for even having to say that and justify a stance on this. Tragic.

"My side wins if your side dies" - if that's your opinion. Fuck you. You fucking soulless asshole. Look at yourself dead in the eyes in the mirror and evaluate your life choices if you're quietly jonesing for some people to die a long, slow, horrific death in a tight metal tube in the ocean.

It really shows up the worst of ourselves. The fact that an issue like this just gets predictably split into two camps. Same old fucking thing whatever the fuck it is we're talking about. in fact, we've straight up lost the ability to talk about ANYTHING. This just highlights it further.

I wouldn't wish any of this on my worst enemy, whoever they are or whatever their background. Fuck.

I really wish I didn't read about the Titanic submersible sub story. Especially the whataboutism defending people's bloodthirsty remarks about those perishing on board. There is a father and son on board, one of whom will likely watch the light of their consciousness flicker out before them.

Weirdly disturbed by the Titan submersible story. It’s shoddy engineering decisions and corner-cutting pretending to be “innovation vs regulations” https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/20/us/oceangate-titanic-missing-submersible.html

Can anyone vouch for David Graber's book, Bullshit Jobs? The Owen Jones endorsement on the front is putting me off slightly.

Average normal person: "You'll never hear me spouting conspiracy theories" Me: "How about all of these UFO revelations?" Average normal person: "PSY-OP! It's a psy-op. Total government psy-op to distract you from what they're really up to." Me: "..."

I'm so late to the Reflect notes party but it is so good. Super polished PKM and damn speedy too.
