  • Social media greatest tragedy is giving us the illusion that we are doing something. That we care.
    No. If you care you do. If you don’t do - you don’t care, you are just lying to yourself that you do.

    You just cannot handle the reality of not being such a good, caring person as you imagine yourself to be hence you write a post on twitter, you read an article, you press the like button. It’s easy. Bam your precious self image is saved.



  • Same thing for example with animals. If you just post online on TikTok or twitter oh poor critters while eating meat or wearing fur and not doing anything that means you don’t care. So I prefer not lying to myself about it. I don’t care.

    Workers rights in third world countries same thing. Didn’t do a single wallet voting? Then it means I don’t care. I am not going to virtue signal for fake points or clout. Action is caring, words are worthless deception, most often self-deception.

    I disagree. It’s the only sane way of thinking. You cannot be in the head of other people, cannot possibly know what they tolerate or not and then if they say they don’t like something you do you must decide if their intolerance is reasonable.

    It’s something I live by. And strongly believe is the only way to properly savour the fruits of reality.

    Take everything as it was yours too and if someone contests it then you can split the cake. This is the secret to having truly good time in this waking world.

    Most people are afraid to take things, to set boundaries, to be bold and they dwell and die in unhappiness having nothing. Don’t be like them. Fight for yourself.

    It’s not my job to think constantly if my every minor single action can offend or inconvenience someone. Cmon that would be insane

    If someone has a problem with my pyjama outdoors then they can tell me and I probably will consider it for a while like a second and then idk get a notification and forget probably if I am being honest. But I tried to take it into consideration your valuable opinion on my outfit. I really did try. It’s called living in a society, we need to care

    Haha I am so intimidating brr scary. In my country we haven’t reached such levels of madness yet and generally people are normal. The place in which you dread to interact with your fellow humans must be terrible indeed. But then I live in a slav hobbiton among religious peaceful hobbits. Racist and xenophobic hypocrites yes but never violent. Good people.
    They may slander you when they think you don’t hear them but you can go on the night streets without worry. I kinda love them.

    I have a rule that if my noise is a problem for someone they will surely come, knock on the door, let me know and I will stop it immediately.

    It hasn’t happened yet so I assume no one is inconvenienced.

    Actually I extend this to all areas of life. I believe that if something I do is a problem for someone, they will tell me. It’s much more sane than second guessing if my guitar session gets through the walls or not and checking the thickness in the architecture plan and calculating decibels.
