I really, truly, with all of my being, feel that we are reaching the end limits of what the human mind is currently able to contend with. We are so overstimulated it’s insane. We literally need to evolve our physical bodies as a species to continue living as we are or we will literally die.
With cigarettes, we recognized the harm that they did and in response developed a series of regulations about where they could be used, who could use them when, how they could be advertised, warning labels that had to be applied, and taxes on them to discourage use and offset the societal harm. As result we get this:
…and this…
The internet is a tricky one on account of it absolutely having crossover with the first amendment, but there’s got to be a conversation about its effect on mental health and what if anything can be done in response.

Personally I am in favor of regulating the internet but the potential censorship concerns are a serious issue with actually doing it
now do meat and the leading causes of human death
I’m not even sure anymore what this analogy is about but 🤣
Sorry man, but it’s going to get worse before it gets better.
And I have no idea if it’s ever getting better
I don’t even want to bring up brain chips, there’s plenty of people who already think they have them. Imagine the psychosis.
There is no limit. Things are really really bad? They can always get worse. Rock bottom is a flawed analogy.
The drill is mightier than the rock
