Shining a light on why rich people are the result of inadequacies in the system.

I feel like Oculus improved under them, but yeah - an exception proves the rule.

Imagine a world where teachers weren’t geriatric and taught their kids digital literacy instead of digital luddism.

I mean, shit, homework was invented as a fucking punishment and so many studies have shown it has diminishing returns after a certain age. Yet here we are, perpetuating a system designed explicitly for controlling kids - not teaching them.

But yeah, phones are the problem. The internet is the problem. Definitely not how kids are taught to interact with them, no sir. While we’re at it, just get rid of PCs at the school - that way the district can save money on their IT department. They can access social media from the PCs so I don’t see the problem.

And how does one become disconnected from ‘the economy’?

I mean sure, breathing isn’t the problem, but all that breathing leads to humans continuing to burn things so that they can have easier lives.

Ultimately, breathing does lead to a polluted world. In a very technical sense.

Pfff, people in the states and around the world have been screaming about climate change for decades but now that the fucking world is burning ‘net zero’ is back on the menu?

Human shortsightedness is the greatest sin of all.

The next stage of this is having cops patrol flock cameras.

The whole ‘mass surveillance’ thing sort of does away with a need for traditional patrols.

Publishers aren’t going out to old bookstores to buy up their old books to destroy.

Every argument you’ve made is halfbaked at best, tell me - what’s the longest time something can be stored in a computers memory?

Now what’s the longest time a book can stay intact?

Yeah, you know the answer - shut the fuck up now.

It has everything to do with not reading you muppet, any literate person understands that you don’t need to destroy a book in order to gain the information from it. A child could understand that there’s no reason to destroy the books other than laziness or malice.

My god, tech people need to be beaten regularly.

Yeah, they sit on shelves because the average person - at least in the U.S. - is steps away from brain death.

If more people were better educated and or literate this would not be happening.

improvement seems unlikely given the perpetual decline I’ve witnessed my entire life

To be fair, I’m sure there were plenty of people who lived in the late Roman, late Byzantine, and late Ottoman empires who felt the same way.
