“We’re riddled with pointless talk, insane quantities of words and images. Stupidity’s never blind or mute. So it’s not a problem of getting people to express themselves but of providing little gaps of solitude and silence in which they might eventually find something to say...what a relief to have nothing to say, the right to say nothing, because only then is there a chance of framing the rare, and ever rarer, thing that might be worth saying.”

Quantum Biology: The Hidden Nature of Nature.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ADiql3FG5is
1h 30m

This is a panel of scientists discussing the topic of the influence of Quantum Physics on evolutionary biology, and all the ways that quantum physics is utilized by biological organisms in everyday life. A couple examples where quantum physics is implicated as an important mechanism in biological processes includes "super smell" like dogs have, and photosynthesis.

How has technology steered our minds?

What have we become?

While technology delivered infinitely powerful tools to augment our minds, that same technology slowly became ubiquitous, addictive, and inescapable. As we became dependent on it, the companies who depended on selling it to us became dependent on ways to monetize our attention. Our technologies evolved into digital slot machines, pandering to our base emotions, grasping for our attention and refusing to let go.

The very technology which showed such promise to free our minds had evolved into a tool of our enslavement.

It's time to take back our attention.

WARNING: This video does plug an expensive product, but the way it describes the history of our enslavement to our devices is extremely well done.

This helps determine screen size. Useful when purchasing devices that only give the diagonal screen measurement and resolution. This way you can find the exact width and height in inches.

It can actually calculate any of these numbers using any two of them to find the rest of the numbers: resolution, diagonal screen measurement, screen width, and screen height. And, also, #fskynet_💬

www.ethicalconsumer.org "since 1989"

Ethical Consumer is a great buyers guide to being sure you're not supporting something really bad when you buy stuff.

I went there looking for advice about buying a tablet, and certain brands were recommended over other brands, while certain brands were singled out as especially problematic, but ultimately it said the most ethical option is buying something refurbished or second hand. (This was 2022).

It's literally the very first post ever posted on Openbook. It clearly states that the first line of tags following the content of the post should be 2 to 3 tags describing the post, starting from the broadest topic to the most specific subject. This is like our "Dewey Decimal System" on Openbook. This is how we categorize information, so that Openbook can be a useful tool, an accessible bank of knowledge that's easily navigated so that we can all use it to learn from each other efficiently. We take the extra time to check what tags are already listed on the "Search" page so we can see if there are pre-existing tags which are suitable to use. We do this to avoid lots of useless tags that all mean the same thing, or mean nothing at all. We try to have one tag for each meaning, so try not to create new tags unless there's no way to describe your post with existing tags.

So please, against all odds, please struggle to describe your post succinctly with three increasingly specific tags, no more, on the first line of tags after the post's content. This makes it easy for all of us to see what the content of a post is about, at a glance, so we don't waste each other's time. If you need to tag it with more than the three tags, just put those tags on a separate line after the first line of tags. Or put them in the text of the post.

If you found this, and you're reading this.... you are the resistance.

Use #fskynet_💬 to FIND THE OTHERS! The A.I. hasn't caught on to the hashtag, yet. Use #fskynet_💬 to find the other humans.

P.S. How ridiculous is it that I fail the "Voigt-Kampff Test" Captcha half the time, cause it's so hard to read, but the bots are pouring over the castle walls like it ain't no thang...
