Early morning thoughts

For the internet to be dazzling for me is not to use it in an interactive way, but to employ the clandestine shuffle mode jukebox therapy approach.

All the interests filtered through a small amount of depositories:

YouTube, Audible, Wikipedia, eBooks being 4 most useful for me. So many more could be used, but i could be overwhelmed if i used more, if any of the 4 named could be exhausted, then i could move onto other depositories. But i don't see that happening, because of the amount of interests.

What does it mean to have this many interests? Does it signify a profound lack of self awareness, or a depleted self, a blank self, a cancelled self? Those options imo were getting closer and closer to the truth.

Everything is educational, but some are curiosity based, and others are bread crumb trails to the inner self, your most authentic self, serial killers are of the former, and philosophers of the latter.

You overfeed your mind with these things so that when you're in the half sleeping state you can play similar things to continually entertain and educate yourself.

Stopping and smelling the flowers isn't something i can do for the most part, although the idea is appealing.

Nothing better than early morning thoughts, well, that's my own opinion. This year I discovered that we are on the verge of losing a lot of information just because it has been thus, so very easily accessible, for more than a quarter of a century now. Opinion formed about a soundtrack of a series of fifty years ago is now presented as truth because it's much easier to accept the general opinion than to challenge it with some more work doing the research. Either information isn't there any more or the knowlegde of how to do it isn't available. In general, I wager a bet that our age is not only destroying the public libraries but also history as academic pursuit

@val70 I think you're right. The facts are slipping through our collective fingers.
