Get ready for a really ****ty post to anyone who read this
Samius-
if they did that can you imagine people then treating the Internet like some gospel, like it must have holy information, then listening to any rumors from there? Just daydreaming. I think ignorance and corruption are inevitable and it would be a good government's job to mitigate and educate about them. But we don't have that because there's too much profit in gaming the system and taking advantage of ignorance.

Then there can be a fine line between having stupid/uneducated opinions you were never corrected on and opinions you were manipulated into. I think people who can be manipulated tend to be not-self-aware but I really wouldn't know. If I'm manipulated into **** then I don't think I know much of it? And nobody talks with me about that kinda ****. It's not my forte but I wonder slightly. I try to question myself. I don't believe that questioning myself makes me self-aware though.
I definitely feel like I'm speaking out of my own ass. Fires down here and worrying about the future worldwide get me pissed off about politics but I don't actually know **** about them.
The whole thing has me feeling like
this (yet again)
I've ranted about how I miss the 00's Internet before and it's still true, the Internet had much better culture and wasn't strangled by as much corporate bull**** when it wasn't an everyday thing, EmpLemon was right
My dad doesn't understand how to use the Internet (has discouraged me from even making friends here, what the **** does he expect), but for the most part he just pisses away from it. I think at least it's better than some people who believe the whole thing could or should be regulated and some other dramatic crap.
Finally, since BlueFox bought it up I think immortality would actually be terrifying. Imagine the insects in our air alone. If all were immortal, there would be too many living creatures for good QoL (it has lead to problems already and you
know the government would not actually properly govern it, I'm not even going to touch psycological warfare that could come from immortality) and it would be impossible to create more space at some point. This might be extremely controversial, but I honestly still hope that humans never manage to create and apply immortality.
I feel like I'm playing with fire here but tbh I don't even care tonight (nor think I'll care a lot later)
I have drawing to occupy my time.
here is one scribble, it's a giraffalope (although the antlers were referenced from deers not antelope you got beaned). Don't know how girrafe muscles and skelele work, didn't look at the skeleton. I really need to get back into things
