memetic warfare has supplanted physical warfare here...
or maybe it's just been expanded into a battlefield all it's own
ppl always assumed that social media would be an unwarranted goldmine of sorts
back in the early days
it would just be of ppl sharing ideas and books and what not
now it's just people yelling at each other... well mostly.
the Rubin Report is definitely a font of such ideas and books
but Twitter is just angry people in a town square yelling at each other.
yeah, now we're back to different sections or factions
we screwed up somewhere.
you can stay on twitter, youtube and follow certain intellectual peeps
but the bigger issue is that we can fall farther still.
everything on the internet comes through filters moderated by corporations
I don't think its all that bad tho
this is just societal flux that happens right after a communication revolution
like, soon after the printing press and widespread availability of bibles
things actually became much worse
for a short period of time
ppl went around burning witches based on certain phrases, that which was previously ignored by priests
that's fair I guess.
similarly, we're in a constant weekly witchunt
soon, ppl would get tired of it
justs like the witchhunts of the past
or not..
because tech seems to keep disrupting
thus my concern
we need a digital bill of rights. Do that, and we're PROBABLY safe from an explosion of digital censorship?
maybe we're at a stage of constant turbulence
also possible.
just when we think the distruption of certain spheres by tech is settling
they're already coming up with the next ones
true. Hm.
Well, I'm about ready to abandon most digital media entirely.
this is frankly getting rediculous
like what ?
news ?
mainly discord (controlled environment, not an open town square like twitter) and SOME gaming
Twitter isn't a very open town square imo
I just get banned and called a bot all day
Last time was my 30th account
But Everyone should go on a media free camping trip every month or so
