I like how in my life I went from: "I am intrinsically different from other human beings because I'm smarter and a better person than everyone else, but I will always be alone for it, though" as a child, to "Well, people are very different and not everyone is as bad or as dumb. There's lots of people who are worth it and lots of people who are good and smart. It's not just me!" as a teen, then back again to "I am intrinsically different from other human beings because I'm smarter and a better person than everyone else" as an adult. And yes, I am on antidepressants.

#liveblogging my life #people are so fucking stupid all the time #my cousins were having a conversation on Christmas over chatgpt #and one of them (a PHILOSOPHY teacher) was talking about how to catch students using it #and my other cousin (a techbro insufferable programmer) was like “well but you use it right?” and my other cousin was like #“yes to help me with menial tasks but you need to have knowledge and critical thinking to be able to use it properly so i can't have #and my idiot techbro cousins went “well if it gets to the point where AI does everything students won't need to learn how to do stuff #without it right?“#yes let's make children stupid on purpose and unable to live without technology on purpose #that sounds normal and fine and not insane #and my teacher cousin didn't even fight it he just laughed #BRO YOU ARE A TEACHER #i know none of us want to be teachers we were just humanities idealists who had to take the teaching path bc in spain it's decent pay and #job security #but I still want to feel like I'm teaching something #that I'm giving my students something actually valuable #the world literally feels hopeless everything is just a soulless giant corporation that doesn't produce anything valuable #as in actually valuable not money valuable #all we can do is stuff that lines up some billionaires pockets but never our own and never helps anyone instead makes everyone's life worse #and you will go to the therapist saying stuff like this which is a very accurate assessment of capitalism and the world #and they will go “hmm” and put you on antidepressants #and i love my therapist she's amazing but I'm just lining the pockets of the clinic she works at to rant
