Bedazzled with gadgets, humanity wakes up to an era where conversations don't exist, except in the most nuclear of families around the supper table, causing coffee shops to be vacant past 8pm and art to be nonexistent and where people cheer that the dread of cancer exposure from cigarettes has been eliminated but this has caused the youth to evaporate into behind closed doors apartments where isolation, social media addiction and methamphetamine eat their souls, while the whole world gets hoodwinked into believing whatever it is this week that our government's are trying to shill to us and because our memories are so short, people literally forget that a decade ago in the mainstream media it was leaked by an NSA contractor that our government's are in fact spying on average people, meanwhile the CIA boasts on their own website that the satellite software that we now use everyday called “Google Earth” actually had its roots in a CIA funded company and this same government this week had a press conferences claiming to not understand where unidentified flying objects or drones are coming from and because the public cannot remember news from a decade ago, probably due to brain damage of some ilk or another from doom scrolling on social media since 2016, they completely neglect that the federal government has made a massive business of watching everything, including the skies for a very long time, meanwhile academia is so out of touch that people actually think communism is a good idea and that it's OK to eat bugs, I'm not even joking there are actual academics pushing people to believe we can and should eat bugs in lieu of beef, because they claim that beef cattle are massively contributing to climate change when meanwhile there's no data to support that but there is decades of data to prove that no, we cannot eat bugs because we, in fact can die from it and these same people pay tens of thousands of dollars per year to get flat out lied to, when is the last time you had a three hour conversation at a coffee shop after watching a movie with friends about current events, music and what you saw at the art gallery this week? Aren't you glad we got rid of smoking from coffee shops?

David Foster Wallace gave me this inspiration and lit this fire and I'm very grateful for his thoughts because he brought up this very good point that some questions cannot be answered other than through lengthy conversations.

I just finished watching his 2003 unedited interview, it's on YouTube.
 
The following quote is from David Foster Wallace in 2003 from that interview:

“My guess is the forms of rebellion that will end up changing anything meaningfully here will be very quiet and very individual” -David Foster Wallace

Happy St. Patrick's Day

https://substack.com/@3r1cc0at3s/note/c-101188740?r=51hdz9 Happy St. Patrick's Day Did you know that in the 1600s when England had captured Jamaica from Spain that the English had thousands of Irish people brought to Jamaica as “indentured servants”? These Irish were “indentured” which means bound, they were bound for serving on sugar and tobacco plantations for periods ranging from 2 to 7 years. This servitude was without pay and was done by contracts where the Irish served for free in exchange for passage to the New World, food, housing and shelter for their indentured periods and many of whom were forced to do so against their wills and although not considered slavery because they had term contracts which could be extended if they tried to run away and women could get impregnated if they tried to run. In summation: 1. Some Irish were forcibly removed from their homeland and shipped across the Atlantic Ocean in boats by the English. 2. Those Irish were forced to work on plantatio...

United Healthcare/Brian Thompson/Luigi Mangione/NSA etc.

United Healthcare is the 4th largest company in the US and is the largest healthcare company in the US. The NSA has been passively watching Americans (and everyone else if they can or want to) for a very long time through various programs involving companies like Google etc.(not that Google participated, they were hacked by the NSA, according to Edward Snowden's releases but other companies like AT&T did cooperate with the NSA according to the Snowden releases) and this was disclosed by whistleblower Edward Snowden, former NSA intelligence contractor, famously in the 2010's. This is old news. Any high priority person such as the CEO of UnitedHealthcare would be at the very least passively monitored as it costs next to nothing to have these computer based surveillance systems listen to their phones. (Which seems likely because everyone has a phone and the Snowden leaks detailed that telecommunication and internet providers like AT&T and Verizon worked with the US federal...

The Public Space Shift

Although correlation is not causation, it's noteworthy that many developed countries banned smoking tobacco inside public buildings oftentimes anywhere between 2004-2013, with many smoking bans starting in the early to mid 2000s. (France 2007, England 2007, Canada (largely) 2002-2004, Sweden 2005, Norway 2004, Germany 2008 (they still allow some smoking indoors), United States 1995 (in California) but largely between 2004-2007) And around that same time, some of our major social media companies were founded. (Twitter in 2006, YouTube in 2005 and Facebook in 2004) Essentially, the smoking bans shifted the public space from in person venues like coffee shops, bars, restaurants, movie theaters etc. to the private space of one's home and these social media entities created a new digital public space. This worked well because people who were already tobacco addicts substituted one addiction for another, as they soon became addicted to the dopaminergic effect of social media addictio...
