I can only have authentic experiences if I don’t post about them. And, this is a REMINDER regarding "like-based scrolling-feed" social media. The introduction of “scrolling,” and “likes,” on social media (by big tech) changed human psychology (we don't use those features here). They will NEVER stop psycho-engineering to make social media as addictive as possible. The disease is in our collective consciousness. The degradation of truth, humility, and so on. I feel it growing within myself. Unbridled capitalism's modern slavery.

Destroy what destroys you...

THOUGHTS ON SOCIAL MEDIA:

• I do not want to pull people out of their lives to look at mine.
• Social media algorithms flatten culture and art, creating cookie cutter content that sells and pleases the algorithm (versus art being provocative).
