@eigenman Still working to find my new format.

Substack is kinda cool but it’s just a lot… don’t really want to commit to that kind of sustained effort just yet.

Watching to see how they all develop.

Agree that Reddit is also a good haunt.

@eigenman the twitter app used to be more habit forming. Some people dislike that, but I considered it a feature because I’m not always good at forming new habits on my own.

Now neither is all that habit forming, so I find my attention drifting to other things that are.

@eigenman it’s so much nicer over here.
The woke mind virus must have attacked the APIs.

@poswald

Yeah I see that. Probably depends on the kid.

But we mostly read stories of how to be successful in the face of adversity to our kid, so I suppose that a sort of tacit agreement .

So our kid is into Pokémon now and wants to watch the TV show.

And there’s this scene where Ash and the other trainers meet some new person and she’s a girl and they’re like, “yo — you’re so beautiful how can you be a good Pokemon trainer?”

Anyhow — I’m looking for tips to rekindle the love of a child who has been told our family has decided that listening to NPR is the new television.

@mentalhealthchampion looked it up — I’d say colonization (the psychological phenomenon not the territory but) is one very destructive instantiation of this gone awry, yes.

But I also think it’s a broader observation than that, and decolonializarion incorporates some problematic epistemological premises (like a lot of postmodern thought tho, it’s a general pattern).

@rohan

Rohan, please read my whitepaper below.

All peer review is censorship. This is an a priori fact. No questions at this time please.

@mentalhealthchampion I’m not familiar with that term.

“People’s behaviors typically follow a consistent rule set defined by their worldview.”

“Like rules in a game?”

“Yeah actually, kinda like that.”

“Cool.”

“Yes. Oh, one thing: everyone’s game is different, with completely different rules.”

“Wait now it kinda sounds dumb.”
