“This is your brain on [Control]”
I’ve been touching grass more than using my [smartphone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic\_tagging) these days. It’s been tough though, I’ve been a [user] of this [military apparatus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARPANET) for some time now; it’s difficult kicking such an ubiquitous [addiction](https://www.npr.org/2026/08/17/nx-s1-5923392/a-group-of-attorneys-general-is-suing-meta-over-mental-health-risks-for-youths) that’s seemingly required to [be a part of society](https://www.reddit.com/r/TuesdayswithPhony/s/JkqxuoThLI) these days. **Makes yah think what we all did for so many years prior to 1999.**
I have many concerns and questions that seemingly go unanswered for some reason.
Some questions I’ve been considering:
[What is ethical? Who gets to decide?](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BuINpgEvDO4&ra=m)
**What is their Cultural Behavior like?**
**What Incentivizes them?**
**What is their Ideology?**
What do they want?
Sometimes questions linger, like [dogshit in the crevices of your shoe](https://www.reddit.com/r/Journaling/s/Xjmz8Ycppi). You’re going to get into your car and be offended by that stink. You’re going to track it in all over on the new carpet.
It might take some time to find out where the odor is coming from and/or why you’re such a stinky schlep (maybe you aren’t the schlep though, maybe it was the asshat who [didn’t pick up their dog’s shit!](https://www.reddit.com/r/circlejerknyc/s/hD1WC2XiDb)).
Makes yah question authenticity, integrity, authority, legitimacy, your own/society’s sanity, responsibility, accountability, and why after thousands of years people seem unable to learn or adapt their behaviors, incentives, and ideologies. Makes yah question a lot of things.
What a fucking hassle.
