In all my 30 years of life I wish society would die and we would abandon technology. I understand what we would give up but I feel like we would gain so much more.

@MGBranco Best I can do is in the service of a select few, while burning precious resources and creating nothing of value.

Technology has exposed people’s true nature – many are selfish or even arseholes, they feel self-sufficient because of technology and modern logistics and think they can treat others anyhow.

Esther excellent as always.
These tech(ish) bros know their worlds and nothing about real humans and society. It’s all about optimisation, singularity blah blah. One minute Khan is talking about the uncertainty of job losses and its effects on polarisation due to AI. The next minute he is certain we are moving from optimisation to thriving. How do you reconcile that? Shocking that this guy is in education. God help us.

In all my years of life I wish society would die and we would abandon technology. I understand what we would give up but I feel like we would gain so much more God loves you and cares for you so that this message reaches you. God is the one who created this large universe and controls it completely. The greatest loss a person loses in this life is that he lives without knowing God who created him and knowing the Messenger of Muhammad, the last of the messengers, and the Islamic religion, the last of the heavenly religions. Great intelligence, before you believe in something or not, is to read it, study it, and understand it well, and after that you have the choice to believe in it or not to believe in it. I advise you to do this now, before you no longer have time to do so. Life is very short. It is just a test, just a passage to eternal life. Great advice to those who… Understands

Emotional Capitalism is such a great way to express the way in which love is valued right now in 2026. Many people would rather date many people and try so hard to find the perfect person who checks off all of the boxes of a wishlist for the perfect companion. Meanwhile, the true cost of that is time. Time wasted trying to find the best person rather than working on oneself and becoming a better fit for another person to be attracted to them. It’s not always one sided. I think too many women settle for the very first man who love bombs then. Then, they constantly get hurt emotionally, because they hop from one man to another without changing herself and spending time alone without another partner, and use that time to go get a life coach and or therapist to help them get better on their own.
