There are no external fucking links.

There are not going to be any external links, least of all tracking links, or (I can feel some vomit rising in my throat) marketing links.

Recommended reading (and perhaps viewing) will be suggested. In plain text.

The Links

The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt. Book. 2024. You can find it in several in-real-life bookstores. You can buy it online. It's excellent. Even if you've lived long enough to remember life before the Internet, this book will help shock you out of deeply repressed layers of complacency. A lot of issues are covered. It hits hard with how completely and utterly different our ordinary lives all became in the period between adopting our first smartphones, and only a handful of years later. And that's just one relatively small piece of the terminal jigsaw we locked ourselves inside of, and threw away the key. It's mostly about how fucked the Internet is. Its fucking freaky.

The Beginning of Hope

Once you begin to understand the true extent of the endless twisted labyrinth we are trapped in, the gentle mustard-seed beginning of hope can be once again.

This is not a joke.
