I suspect a lot of people have difficulty recognizing that what they believe about the world may not be representative of how the world actually behaves. I certainly do, frequently.

Like with politics, people think they need to go vote and march and stuff to effect change, but if you're willing to accept the idea that there are limits to your ability to perceive the world and your perceptions are misleading, you can pretty reliably go and see that isn't true.

You can also decipher deeper realities like you can basically put whatever you want on flat bread, or that you dadskf;'akse'wfaegqrwt;'lj'a fuck my brain. I'm asd I'm not sure what I was trying to say.

Practicing decontextualization like this is great practice for inventing new praxis. A lot of folks learn the patterns and skills of organizing. Don't get me wrong, they're great. But it's great to be willing to do something a bit different when opportunity knocks.

We have to be able to adapt to a changing world. Marshall McLuhan saw our current problem over 50 years ago. Although his takeaway was more on the techno utopia side of things. He didn't account for people using global communication for propaganda, which is weird because he lived through enough war and technology leaps, he should have realized that killing people is the father of invention.

I thought porn was the father of invention

The only thing porn invented was hentai, which was completely destroyed from the world in 2008 due to the great reset.

A lot of people who study early civilizations think the father of invention was beer.

No, no, porn is the "lifeblood of the free internet" actually
