Sagan felt that the dumbing down of America was most evident in the rejection of science and the growing ignorance of history, art, literature, music and the humanities. If we're to reserve course, we need to revive mass education and literacy.

Chatbots and AI slop are going to ruin countless brains. Yours doesn't have to be one of them. Study history. Read poetry. Get acquainted with Bach, Shakespeare, George Eliot. In a time when people are rapidly getting dumber, we need communities devoted to the life of the mind.

If you can afford a retirement account, do it. To hell with the grind. Get a boring or weird little hobby. Make time for your friends. Stop caring about cringe. Watch bad movies. Read silly books. Fuck vocational awe. Treat yourself. Tylenol and advil are your new besties. Wear good shoes.

If you are bereft over the gun shooting of Charlie Kirk, just pretend he was a kid in an elementary school, and you will forget about the whole thing within a minute.

What "they" don't understand is that our resistance to what they define as "hard work" very rarely has anything to do w/ the work being "hard." It's about us feeling controlled, trapped, or "in trouble"-- all of which frequently trip a combination of "freeze" & "fight" in us.

I don't care what happened in the past-- you are not "crazy" or "terrible." You're an imperfect human who did what you could w/ the information & resources you had at the time. That's not an "excuse;" that's reality.

yes, at least in my experience, the AI skeptics are the most tech-savvy people in most cases, while the AI enthusiasts are the least.
I've been thinking a lot about how I really hate the implication that AI skeptics are luddites because most of the AI skeptics I know are relatively tech savvy while the biggest AI champions I know can barely use email
Funny how when it comes to AI people are all "adapt or be left behind" but when it comes to remote work the same people insist that things must go back to how they were at all cost.

I'll say it explicitly: ADHD is a neurotype.
ADHD isn't a disease that we caught one day. ADHD is a lifelong, congenital, genetic difference in neurological development.
ADHD changes how and when we develop cognitive and executive function, and it changes how we view and interact with the world

No. Ignore this. You are capable of reading books again. The brain is highly malleable and you only need a few screen-free weeks to recover your focus. You will be amazed how quickly the hunger for reading returns. You will be inhaling words
