World
The world is aching, Yet some people thrive In hostile environments; Some people thrive in Realms without soul or substance; Some people are Brutalist-by-heart, and prefer The tones of concrete over green; They prevent philosophers asking Stupid questions about falling trees. So, really, the world is Not Aching, I am.

people lived 99% of their history collectively
1% is taken as "civilised" times full of feudalism
and over 400 years exist capitalism.
capitalism is not human nature.
capitalism is human suffering.

The way someone looks in a picture and how that person describes himself is the least alluring thing I can imagine, Ivy said. Don't you need to see the guy in action?

While reading vent posts around here, I realized that being annoying is a major source of worry among users. Honestly, I’m concerned about that too, but I have a theory:
With the rise of the internet, short-form content, and the algorithm, we are constantly pleased with what we see. We expect to be pleased—it’s a kind of hedonistic cycle. I believe this expectation extends to real-life socializing, where we assume people should always be perfectly pleasant, while also seeking approval as universally enjoyable.
However, we all know that’s simply impossible (even if you try really hard). The result? A growing aversion to real-life interactions—since people aren’t carefully curated like their online counterparts—and an unprecedented anxiety about how we are perceived by others.
I’m not a psychologist, so don’t take my word for it. But if you’re passionate about this fascinating field, I’d love to hear your thoughts. And if not, still—please share your opinion.

The numbers don't work anymore
Flaws become More and more endearing to me, Manifesting reality Against the filters catering to the Mean of what is to be considered Aesthetically pleasing. Wanted. Needed. I feel Battered by the desires of the Masses, orchestrated. Therein, Propagated Singular. Then, I must be so lonesome, Flawed. Human. Human? What part, then? I am Slowly drifting away from collective intent, And, at the same time, swimming against The stream of my innate communal sense, Embracing entropy. Bored. Real.

Why Past Traditions Struggle in Modern Society: Outdated Practices in a Changing World
Traditions of the past, while often meaningful and integral to the societies that practiced them, may be seen as ineffective or even problematic in the present for several reasons. Here’s an overview of some of the issues with past traditions that contribute to their perceived ineffectiveness today:
1. Outdated Social Structures:
Rigid Gender Roles: Many past traditions reinforced strict gender roles that limited the opportunities and rights of women and marginalized genders. In contemporary society, these traditions are often seen as oppressive or discriminatory.
Hierarchical Authority: Traditions often upheld hierarchical social structures, such as caste systems, feudal systems, or rigid class divisions. These structures can be incompatible with modern values of equality, democracy, and social mobility.
2. Cultural and Ethical Relativity:
Cultural Insensitivity: Some traditions are rooted in specific cultural or religious contexts that may not translate well across different societies or time periods. What was once a respected tradition in one culture might be viewed as insensitive or irrelevant in a multicultural or global context.
Ethical Evolution: As ethical standards evolve, practices that were once considered normal may now be viewed as morally wrong. For example, traditions involving corporal punishment, arranged marriages without consent, or exclusion of certain groups are increasingly challenged.
3. Scientific and Technological Advancements:
Conflict with Scientific Understanding: Many traditions are based on pre-scientific understandings of the world. As scientific knowledge has advanced, practices rooted in superstition, myth, or outdated medical beliefs have lost credibility.
Technological Obsolescence: Some traditions were practical solutions to problems that modern technology has since resolved. For example, traditional agricultural practices may be replaced by more efficient, technology-driven methods, making the old ways seem obsolete.
4. Economic and Social Modernization:
Economic Shifts: Traditional practices that were suited to agrarian or subsistence economies may not be effective in a modern, industrialized, or digital economy. For example, the communal sharing of resources in a small village might not work in the context of urban life.
Urbanization: Many traditions are tied to rural or small-community life. As more people live in cities, these traditions may become impractical or irrelevant in an urban context, where anonymity and different social dynamics prevail.
5. Individualism and Personal Autonomy:
Suppression of Individual Rights: Many traditions prioritize community or familial obligations over individual rights. In modern societies that emphasize personal autonomy and freedom of choice, such traditions may be seen as oppressive.
Resistance to Change: Traditions can sometimes be resistant to change, discouraging innovation or personal growth. This resistance can clash with modern values that prioritize progress, self-expression, and adaptability.
6. Globalization and Cultural Exchange:
Cultural Homogenization: As societies become more interconnected, traditional practices may be overshadowed by dominant global cultures. This can make localized traditions seem irrelevant or incompatible with the globalized world.
Cross-Cultural Tensions: Traditions that were effective in homogeneous societies may face challenges in multicultural settings, where diverse practices and beliefs coexist, sometimes leading to conflict or the need for adaptation.
7. Secularization and Religious Decline:
Loss of Religious Authority: Many traditions are deeply rooted in religious beliefs. As societies become more secular, these traditions may lose their influence, especially if they are seen as incompatible with modern, secular values.
Questioning of Dogma: Modern societies often encourage questioning and critical thinking, leading to the rejection of traditions that rely on unquestioned religious or ideological dogma.
8. Generational Shifts and Changing Values:
Generational Disconnect: Younger generations may view the traditions of their elders as irrelevant or outdated, especially if those traditions don't align with contemporary values such as diversity, environmentalism, or technology.
Value Evolution: As societal values evolve, traditions that embody outdated or less relevant values may be abandoned or transformed to better align with current norms.
Traditions of the past may be viewed as ineffective in the present due to their association with outdated social structures, ethical standards, and cultural contexts. The rapid pace of technological, economic, and social change, coupled with the rise of individualism and the influence of globalization, has rendered many traditional practices obsolete, irrelevant, or even harmful in the eyes of modern society. As societies evolve, traditions that once served important functions may no longer meet the needs or reflect the values of contemporary life.

let's normalise again that y'all don't have to take photos of every place you visited.
you can just say where you were and not have to have phone in hand all the time
you can describe it by talking, drawing, you can have just one photo of the trip even if you was there all day
you can just send a postcard with a picture of that place and that all should be okay
mostly in modern times people use to post everything. instead of talking with friends you post it and they give like on that post. like, what..? communication error!?
maybe your friends don't even have time to talk with you or are lazy so they look on post instead and aren't even interested in your day and stories. that's, honestly, sad reality as well. yet, I hope it doesn't happen to YOU much often.
I hope y'all have friends who are curious about your day and travels and interests and want to listen to you
but sometimes it is better to not have any friends if they actually don't care about you not even a little bit or they just pretend
(this counts also the family and not just friends)

I just finished listening to the witch trials of j.k. rowling which was actually really interesting. this is very controversial for some but I do really support the idea of retaining biological terms and treating gender identity akin to religious freedoms. switching from rowling and the trans activists(through the interviews in the podcast) gets nowhere and becomes hurtful for both sides because the trans community doesn't differentiate between those who hate trans people (true bigotry) and those who don't agree with their worldview. you can even see this play out with genz nonbinary communities and traditional trans communities disagreeing on various issues relating to gender identity. ultimately all the claims of cultural relativism in regards to gender, nonbinary, transgender binary, traditional gender identity etc should really be protected under a religious framework. you can believe what you want but you cannot demand others agree with you philosophically. just because I don't believe in the Book of Mormon doesn't mean I believe Mormonism should be illegal or Mormons should face discrimination in everyday life.
