  • You are being naive. Who tells the story? Do they have an agenda they want to push?
    I can already hear youu typing: “That is why you should check multiple sources, etc”.

    I would reply that is literally impossible to follow all the minitua on everything and would ask if that is a sound strategy to take in life, using all your energy and time on a day trying to know all that is to know in the world; or is best to use your time and energy wisely to better your life and of those around you?

    The US is not the center of the world, you are conditioned of thinking that something is important even if it doesn’t apply tangibly to your life in any impactful way.
    Fascists use that rhetoric to trap people into believing whatever they are trying to sell.

    Ps: I used to think like you, I was thaught it was the best thing to do, be open minded and what not. There is truth in that phrase but the best way to spin a narrative is taking a bit of truth and wraping it in shit





  • I have somewhat quit gaming as well. The problem is that I always feel like I am missing out. It taught me so much, surely there are still titles that would blow my mind, make me question reality or introduce me to deep philosophical questions. The truth is that mostly I feel like games are a waste of time. I have never come full closure on it. It seems weird not using the medium since it exercises the brain way more than other mindless activities.








  • Reality is unfathomably complex. We can use our pre frontal cortex and think everything critically or we can learn patterns that are good enough.

    Why is white sinonimous with purity and peace? Why we can have a somewhat coherent consensus on beauty? Why rockstars fabricate ludicrous stories to be seen as bad boys?

    Telling an archetypical story impresses and dazzles other people. Again, reality is too complex.

    What I have been learning to do, since I struggled with what you are asking a lot. How can I have substance and at the same time tell a compelling story?
