A quotation from Thomas Carlyle
If Jesus Christ were to come today, people would not even crucify Him. They would ask Him to dinner, and hear what He had to say, and make fun of it.
Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian

"In a world driven by algorithms and digital noise, it’s easy to lose sight of what truly builds a life. This story follows Julian’s journey through the modern hustle to find that career and wealth are just background noise compared to the people we love. Ultimately, no technology can replace the warmth of family and the peace of coming home."

Jedno z przesłań na dzisiejsze czasy.
"Ogranicz korzystanie z mediów społecznościowych (które są cyfrowym fast foodem i czymś, co dorośli powinni w znacznej mierze wyeliminować ze swojego życia).
Trzymaj urządzenia w jednym miejscu w domu, zamiast nosić je przy sobie.
Naciskaj na rząd, by wprowadził zakaz korzystania z mediów społecznościowych przez dzieci, wzorując się na australijskim ustawodawstwie.
Buduj kulturę pracy, w której telefony i laptopy nie pojawiają się na spotkaniach, i znajdź strategie współpracy, które nie wymagają ciągłego wysyłania wiadomości.
Zaprzestań niejasnych żądań, by „wykorzystywać sztuczną inteligencję”, i zamiast tego starannie wdrażaj te narzędzia tam, gdzie faktycznie czynią nas mądrzejszymi, a nie tylko bardziej zajętymi."

A quotation from Adlai Stevenson
We have made great advances in understanding the problem of national security in the modern world. We no longer think in terms of American resources alone. For the most part we now understand the need for a great international system of security, and we have taken the lead in building it.
Adlai Stevenson (1900-1965) American diplomat, statesman
Speech (1952-08-27), “The Nature of Patriotism,” American Legion Convention, Madison Square Garden, New York CityMore about this quote: wist.info/stevenson-adlai-ewin…

In a world driven by speed, comfort, and surface-level connections, those who seek depth find themselves out of sync — but perhaps that’s where resistance begins.

so there i am, trying to do my bit for not shopping at amzn. ordered new gear cassettes for my rebuilt road bike from someone on e-bay. brand new, so likely a store of some sort rather than an individual. but hey, not the evil empire, right?
they arrived today. the ebay seller just added about a 30% markup, ordered it from amzn and had it shipped to me.

When I meet people, I tend to ask about hobbies rather than jobs. A person's job, in the modern world, will usually tell you fuck all about that person. Their hobbies, though? That's who they are. That's where they spend time being themselves.

How about giving a listen to our latest album "DEMONS" when you have a chance?
And perhaps, if you like it, how about getting the lovely CD it comes in? ^^

Um, I'd say, "YES!" Even here in #Maine I'm noticing way more #RoadRage than there used to be. Last year, when a jerk in a truck hit my car, he threatened both myself and the witness -- even though he was at fault. There is definitely something wrong with people (and it seems to be mostly men from my own observations).
The Rage Epidemic: Is Our #ModernWorld Fueling #Aggression?
After a video of a man screaming road-rage abuse through a car window went viral, we ask what’s behind the fury so many feel.
Andrew Anthony, May 2024
"Aaron Balick, a psychotherapist and author of The Psychodynamics of Social Networking, believes that new technologies have ushered in an era in which 'there are more ways to express anger' and there is less shame attached to its expression. He also attributes this cultural shift to politicians such as Donald Trump who have 'normalised' anger.
"According to the Gallup Global Emotions Report, anger around the world has been rising since 2016, with 23% of respondents now feeling angry on any given day – figures are understandably much higher in war zones.
"In the #UK shop workers and service staff have reported sharp rises in customer abuse in recent years, and one study showed criminal violence in GP surgeries had doubled in five years (this was back when it was possible to get an appointment in a GP surgery). Reported road-rage incidents also increased by 40 per cent from 2021 to 2022 (although lockdowns would have played a part).
"Anger, aggression, abuse and criminal violence are, of course, all different things. There is also a psychiatric classification of 'intermittent explosive disorder'.
"Psychologists draw a distinction between anger (an emotion) and #aggression (a behaviour). [...] 'Anger is a natural emotion that arises involuntarily,' says Balick. In basic psychological terms anger is a means of alerting another that a boundary has been crossed. 'Obviously you can also be angry on false premises,' adds Balick.
"'Saying how you feel is anger,' says Michael Fisher, founding director of the British Association of Anger Management. 'It becomes aggressive when you start to scream and shout abuse.'"

In #Academics including #Math and #ComputerScience one of the biggest things I learned was to be #Methodical. #Proofs and #ComputerPrograms require clear thought. Knowing #FormalLogic was extremely valuable, one of my favorite classes in #college.
In the #ModernWorld of #AI lending a hand to any possible human #intellectual endeavor, I wonder if people will become less likely to learn and practice formal logic.

CW: Violence around me
Pop to the shops and as I'm going through the checkout a young lad staggers into the store with a knife wound to the neck. Sat him down. Ambulance being called. He's struggling to breathe. Ah #Glasgow and the #UK in general. He might be a waster or a druggie (not saying he is) but nobody deserves a knife in their neck. #ModernWorld

Custard tart, tea and a look ahead to the 20th century from 1979 to read. Depressing is how much climate change has radically altered things since these predictions.
