"Growth for the sake of growth", Trump and Trumpers, GME (Game Stop) Stock, Fight Club, a difference in what is considered reality, war and mental health, and BIG TECH TAKEOVER!
"Growth for the sake of growth is is the ideology of the cancer cell.” - Ecological philosopher Edward Abbey
It’s not just a difference in opinions anymore; it’s a difference in what is considered reality. (A rant about Trump/Trumpers)
Relationships aren’t falling apart because of disagreements on how to resolve a problem, they’re falling apart because one side sees a problem that needs to be addressed while the other side is convinced the problem doesn’t even exist at all.
Wars and mental health? - A rant of how war affects mental health.
GME stock update - Netflix movie (why we should really be mad about this).
Fight Club - One of my all-time favorite books, movies and author. An excellent take (not mine) on how the term "snowflake" came from this movie. "When people use the term snowflake just remember they're quoting Fight Club, a satire written by a gay man about how male fragility causes men to destroy themselves, resent society, and become radicalized, and that Tyler Durden isnt the hero but a personification of the main characters mental illness, and that his snowflake speech is a dig at how fascists use dehumanizing language to breed loyalty from insecure people. So, basically people who use snowflake as an insult are quoting a domestic terrorist who blows up skyscrapers because he's insecure about how good he is in bed."
Big Tech Takeover - Scientists use WiFi routers and AI to see people through walls.
"Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have developed a method using Wi-Fi routers and a deep neural network called DensePose to sense humans through walls. By mapping Wi-Fi signals to UV coordinates, they create a 3D model of a person's shape and pose without the need for expensive cameras or radars. This cost-effective Wi-Fi-based imaging system has applications in home healthcare, offering a privacy-preserving alternative for monitoring well-being, especially in elder care or security. The technology is versatile, unaffected by poor lighting or obstacles, and utilizes AI for accurate and non-invasive monitoring while respecting privacy."
