Daily reminder!:

”‘Nature’ is not to be understood as that which is just present-at-hand, nor as the power of Nature. The wood is a forest of timber, the mountain a quarry of rock; the river is water-power, the wind is wind 'in the sails'. As the 'environment' is discovered, the 'Nature' thus discovered is encountered too. If its kind of Being as ready-to-hand is disregarded, this 'Nature' itself can be discovered and defined simply in its pure presence-at-hand. But when this happens, the Nature which 'stirs and strives', which assails us and enthralls us as landscape, remains hidden. The botanist's plants are not the flowers of the hedgerow; the 'source' which the geographer establishes for a river is not the 'springhead in the dale'.”

Like…didn’t you know this? 🙄

Does anyone genuinely feel that we will get any Overmen by scrolling on these phones all day every day?

No. I look around and I see The Last Man.

I have quit hard drugs. I have quit alcohol. I am quitting marijuana.

The long game and end goal is to quit the Internet entirely.

I call it “The Great Unplugging”.

I am convinced that I am less happy when on the internet, and our society is most certainly dumber for it.

I realize how pragmatically almost impossible this task will be. What about email? What about my job? I can’t just utterly ditch my phone and internet permanently, right?

Well that just highlights the state of our society. I am going to work towards this goal. Whether I can accomplish it or not remains to be seen.

Once marijuana is fully dropped, the Internet is the final boss.

I can’t think of a higher rebellion against this Last Man society we live in than to utterly drop out of smartphones, the internet, and only read books and work on music (Not AI ”music”!).
