Ya wanna know what is a bad idea? “AI-directed experimentation and manufacturing” is.

That being said, #NewAge is cringe - and also narcissistic by nature. Why?

New Agers basically #coopt #buddhism and #hinduism teachings, by way of motivational speakers who sell books, while filtering out stuff like self sacrifice, piousness, being chast, etc - solidified by the fact that their cult of self worship is followed by #SiliconValley execs.

Few things are more #cringe than a New Ager saying they're "aligning their chakras" while they smoke a cigarette and down a glass of wine.

This contemptable bunch of #CrassOpportunitists are trying to #CoOpt #PSIReN into their #Campaign to #SaveSomething from #TheWreckage of a #FailedGame

This #EmpoweringChange is a #Fraud

Many young people will take up causes if they think they are important, and in all honesty we think you'd agree, rejecting the technofeudal consumptionist system is the only way we survive, longterm. Its important.

The best we can do is teach young people how to be #skeptical, spot #scams, attempts to #coopt and indoctrinate them, and ills of #hedonism and submitting to #temptation.

The #TrumpRepublicanNaziThugKlan have rewarded themselves richly $$$$$$;
Yet another way for the #Conspiracy fascists to #coopt

In 1991, a friend and I went #spelunking in some cavernous Midwestern dept store basement to buy tickets to a #FEAR concert, and found that the "juniors" mannequins had stolen our DIY/ thrifted #grunge #style. Like, they were wearing the exact same outfits?
