    every technology has had positive and negative. some get weaponized by the powers that be more effectively before the people can ensure safeguards. even the wheel has been a tool of the oppressor while making our lives too comfortable. of late, the powers that be have gained more through technological advancement than the people. i want to see a world where we can invert some of this power stream. after all, it's us, the people, who discovered these advancements, built these wonders, and now find ourselves increasingly imprisoned and controlled by violence

    And its here to stay. The way kids are stuck on YouTube is like how old people are stuck on fox news.

    I've thought about this a lot. There's no end. If its not Facebook, YouTube, cable, etc. It will be something else. If only our daily lives where interesting in and of themselves. Escapism will always detach us from each other and we will flail on the wind forever.
