  • If voting mattered they wouldn't let you do it.

    Too many people have too much power and control over the system. We just have the illusion of influence.

    Petitions are the perfect example, it gives people the illusion that they're having an effect. But in reality, when those 10k petitions are hit, it's up to the houses discretion whether they even want to talk about it.

  • Yea I'm all for it.

    It's a toxic place full of political propaganda and dangerous mechanics designed to hack their dopamine systems.

    Is it the best option? No. Digital literacy about the effects of spending time online, and being taught what it is they're actually giving their attention would be best.

    But this will have to do for now.

    If this doesn't happen, we're going to have a whole generation of people who never learnt to think for themselves, have absolutely no impulse control whatsoever and who knows what else.

    The ways they find around it, again, are good - because they'll probably be free from agendas by other state actors and profit at their expense.

  • I'm all for it. The internet is unregulated, and it has a direct impact on people's consciousness, it dictates what they think about.

    Therefore, our minds, our emotions, our impulses and intentions are also unregulated.

    My only concern is that this is a rather lazy approach when all it took was good digital literacy.

    Edit: reading that back I'm putting over the wrong message. Our minds shouldn't be regulated directly, what should be regulated is those who have the power to influence them. Otherwise, we're no more free than if our minds were regulated.

  • Then don't.

    Sit in it, ask it questions, find out what it's all about.

    9 times out of 10, it's just your inner child who's been neglected and misunderstood. Once you take the time to give love to your inner less developed psyche, you'll not need to find escapism.

    Because there will be no pain to escape from.

    Love yourself, you deserve it.

    And just to get you started... Let me open the door for you:

  • Honestly, I don't think it matters much. America is just printing money for the fun of it, so it doesn't really affect us. The money isn't coming from us, it's just endless leverage.

    The US is on an inevitable road to hyperinflation so again, it's not really anybody else's problem.
