Living efficiently is just dying a little faster.

30 years ago, the poetic #neurologist Oliver Sacks wrote brilliantly about so many of the questions we're reckoning with in the age of #ChatGPT – questions of consciousness, #AI, and our search for #meaning

You could live twice!

But half of it is spent on loops you never chose.

(I just spent 12 minutes overthinking this caption. Tax confirmed)

📣Good news!
Wicken Fen Nature Reserve has recorded 10,000 species of wildlife making it the first known UK site to do so. Records date back 200 years, in the 20th century 13 species new to science were discovered, and in the last 25 years records have surged as the reserve expanded.

Julien Garran vom Analysehaus Macro Strategy Partnership hält die KI-Blase für 17-mal größer als die Tech-Blase aus dem Jahr 2000 und für viermal größer als die Immobilienblase, die 2008 die Finanzkrise auslöste. An der Wall Street wird bereits heftig debattiert, wann die Blase platzen könnte.

Weil Medien mittlerweile zu 70 Prozent aus Kommentaren und nur zu 30 Prozent aus Nachrichten bestehen, kann man sich sogar an Tagen schlecht fühlen, an denen gar nichts passiert ist.

1. The brain is not a catastrophe archive

Our brains were never built to process a constant stream of crises from every time zone. This sensory overload triggers a state of chronic stress that erodes creativity, focus, and joy. We lose our sense of proportion and the ability to recognize beauty.

Either by forgetting what can’t be changed, or by doing something that shifts even the smallest grain of reality.

So I made it my task to stop reading bad news for a while.

To stop getting drawn into endless conversations about the terrible state of the world.

To see if there’s a way to move from consuming horror
to something radically forward-moving.

I’m so tired.

I can’t keep reading, can’t keep going, can’t keep pretending this is normal.

I feel trapped in a loop of bad news and I’ve started to wonder why I keep doing this.

Why we all keep doing it.

What is it that fascinates us so deeply about decay, this daily stare into the abyss?

The fact I have little to no knowledge of your industry or organisation is precisely what makes me valuable. I can only experience and interpret phenomena for the first time, once.

ABOUT FACE: In a move that comes as no surprise at all, Apple is ditching Vision Pro and racing to try and catch up with Meta and its Ray-Ban success. It's a very costly mistake, running into billions. Tim Cook's vision was wrong. By @boone.bsky.social on @wired.com www.wired.com/story/the-vi...

The Vision Pro Was An Expensive Misstep. Now Apple Has to Catch Up With Smart Glasses

Having reportedly shelved work on a cheaper Vision Pro, Apple is apparently pivoting its focus to smart glasses—and hoping it's not too late.

Remember when we used to talk about whataboutism?

Now it’s the operating system of social media. Actually of the entire conversational world.

„Content“ = Backshop-Brötchen fürs Gehirn

And let’s not even start on sugar.

Roman Ruska @romanruska.bsky.social · 3d

Our culture has become just as empty as the calories in all the wheat-heavy junk. What we now call content is nothing more than the cultural equivalent of factory-made white rolls — cheap, tasteless, and incapable of nourishing anything, physically or mentally.

Roman Ruska @romanruska.bsky.social · 3d

Roughly 80 to 85% of everything sold in bakeries, fast food chains, and convenience spots is made of wheat — ultra-processed, always available, and nearly impossible to escape.

It’s closer to animal fattening than to anything you’d call culture.

I now read AI summaries of books I pretend to have read. It’s very efficient. I’ve never known less with more confidence.
