Musk just wants to get to Mars. That’s all he cares about.
I appreciate your view and I think I probably agree with you. I work a manual labor job and I’m alone most of the time. I listen to many audiobooks on Libby and many podcasts. I’ve noticed over the past several months my thinking getting more muddled, almost like there’s just too much information in my skull. I’ve started to build audio breaks in my week where I go a day or two without consuming anything with earbuds. I feel better. On info diet days my mind wanders, I’m able to think about things more carefully, my workflow is more organized, and I think more about the people in my life.
I held a similar view many years ago, applied to all media and religiously motivated. I believed pleasure was sinful. My views and beliefs have since changed. Why do you make this recommendation?

I call universities white collar vocational schools because that’s what they’ve become.
The “studies” degrees and other liberal arts programs hearken to an earlier understanding of the university as being a place of higher learning. In the US, our view of post-secondary education has changed in recent decades and we now look at university degree programs largely as white collar vocational training. The old higher learning paradigms still exist, but now there is a societal expectation that they prove their economic value. Knowledge and wisdom no longer have inherent value, only that which can be exploited by capital. Higher learning in its traditional modality is a luxury.

Joining a Facebook “group” makes sense to anybody. Change insider jargon like “instance” to seeker-friendly verbiage like “village.”

Caffeinated_Sloth@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Democrats Must Become the Workers’ Party Again232·1 month agoMAGA took over the GOP in just a few years. I think the same thing can happen to the DNC. Just need a little propaganda, some charismatic leadership, and people willing to slander the establishment.
Wanting to be healthy is MAGA? Is there other evidence she is MAGA, because I eat healthy and exercise and avoid pharmaceuticals and I’m a socialist.
