  • No great wisdom either, but my main thought about this is that games are designed to keep your dopamine coming (maybe overly nature scientific way of saying: they are exciting, rewarding).

    Other activities can do that to, but some are rewarding in a more subtle way or more on a long term. Like, not “ringring yOu fOuNd DIAMOND!!”. So in comparison with games they might not trigger your motivation (dopamin?) as quickly.

    On the other hand they are probably better at making you feel more general connectedness, belonging, sense, emotional diversity, etc.

    So my advice (wich I struggle alot to follow myself) is: Avoid or limit the other dopamine traps like random scrolling and give yourself and the not-designed- for-dopamine-optimization-world some time, some patient goodwill. This might make that good ol’ world shine bright enough to not get bored all the time.







  • Of course your base argument - capitalist economy is ecolocically destructive and dysfunctional regarding the needs of the many.

    “Until there is noone left to fulfill their orders” thats the kind of “justice” i’m talking about. Like, Homoestasis will put them down in the end. Justice will be served. But that’s deceptive satisfaction.

    Don’t go down the “natural balance” kind of revenge fantasy. It only makes one comfy in passivist boundedness. Also the guy in the picture is far more likely do do just fine in a climate catastrophy than you. Gaia nature god lady won’t bring you any justice, at all.



  • Even though this is true for like 90% of my thinking (that I can see when I try), so far I’m concinced this ist because I am a predominantly language-and-normal-grammar-rules thinker.

    There are people that mostly think via associations of words that don’t have to be formulated/ cast into grammar.

    And then there supposedly people mainly thinking in pictures or smth, without words.

    Anyways for some people rubber duck mode reoresents a change in thinking method, I think

    If you seek emancipation of anyone or anything by critique, you should read up what others wrote down, that had or have the same goal.

    Otherwise your are individualistically and egoistically sabotaging the very project you want to contribute to.

    Saying the most edgy thing to feel yourself “being on the right side” will not do good to anyone except yourself.
