Gisele Pelicot is an incredible woman and a hero for her nerve in bringing all those rapists to justice and for knowing the shame does not lie worth her — bravely declining anonymity was incredible.
Learned at work that the Washington Post creates AI clickbait articles and runs them all, leaving up only the articles with the most clicks. It has been sad to see the death of journalism to fear and rage bait.
The single best thing you can do to get your attention back is engage with long form content. Read books and scientific studies. Listen to long critical discussions. Stop allowing out-of-context clips to place you into fight or fight and educate yourself. Libraries are free. #attentionecobomy #read
Thank you for making the facts available to the public 👏
But let's just focus on tearing each other apart while they bleed the bottom 99 percent of us dry. It couldn't possibly be that that's been the plan all along with these culture wars.

Someone disagreeing with you is not gaslighting. Watering down therapy language has a negative impact on people actually struggling with these issues. #unpopularopinion
I love looking at people’s personal libraries. Especially the books that people tell me they read over and over throughout their lives.
It’s like seeing the foundational texts of someone’s life, values and interests.
What are your personal foundational texts?
Another instance of a non-existent threat that has been overblown to create rage bait. Time to wake up to how we are all being manipulated
Beautiful desolation
Yes, and it was a pain in the ass to move them all three states over last year, but you'll pry them from my cold dead hands.
Unfortunately, this happens in every group, not just the ones we disagree with and is leading to the death of critical thinking in this country.
Fact. Dunning-Kruger effect.
"X group all believe Y."
"Really? Have you personally spoken with everyone in X group? No? How did you learn about their opinions then."
"I saw a video."
This is a reminder that algorithms will always favor the most shocking angle on any group or story every time, no matter what your beliefs.

‘Hollywood is just content now!’ Well then watch non-English-language stuff. Watch independent films. Watch stuff made for $10m max. Watch shorts. Watch guerrilla documentaries. Watch experimental filmmaking. Watch kooky animations. It’s still film if it wasn’t made in California for $100m.
Who here is inclined to agree?
You attention IS the commodity. Every second there is someone profiting off of our fear and disconnection with each other.

The colonization of the present day is the colonization of our minds. Your attention is the conquest.
Our fear is the greatest commodity. The next time you feel afraid after scrolling online, ask yourself who is benefiting.
