Poison

Hi Dear Readers!

I hope this blog post finds you and brings you joy, insight, and/or action steps for defeating the Diabolical Forces in the Universe (DFUs).

This is your weekly reminder to get off of social and mainstream media (SMSM) as soon as possible, because it is POISON. Exposing yourself to those media puts you into an alternate reality that increasingly no longer corresponds to ACTUAL REALITY. This can put you in real danger and make your life pretty miserable - due to the heavy bias of SMSM toward grievance, negativity, hate, divisiveness, and toxicity. There is no way I can convince you of this other than to persuade you to abstain from SMSM for about a month and notice the difference in your perception of reality and your mental state. You will see things more clearly, and you will be happier and smarter. All I am asking you to do it PUT IT TO THE TEST. 

Of course, doing so requires ABSOLUTE abstinence from SMSM. That is difficult for most people, because of how addictive SMSM is (by design). But if you successfully fast from SMSM for a month, please leave a comment and share your experience.

The Attention Economy

How does it feel to be a product? A commodity? Bought and sold?

Because that's what you are. It's what we all are, with rare exceptions.

That's not exactly true. Your whole being is not necessarily being traded on the free market of the Attention Economy. But your attention is. And to the extent that your attention is linear and finite, you are being exploited, with zero compensation for your attention.

That's wrong. Or at least it is my thesis that it's wrong. Your attention has value and you deserve to be compensated for it. At a minimum, you should deny your attention to those who would exploit it (social and mainstream corporate media, and its neediest and most obsequious characters) until/unless you are compensated for it.

My attention costs $60/hour ($1/minute) and I will gladly sell my attention to any buyer for that price. Social and mainstream media presume to demand your attention FOR FREE! And perhaps there is value in that for you. You get to use social media applications FOR FREE because the companies that make those apps are SELLING YOUR ATTENTION to other companies (advertisers) willing to pay a premium price for your attention. But...you are seeing NONE of that monetary compensation. Does that seem fair to you?

Perhaps your attention (and the time you spend sacrificing it on the alter of the attention economy) could be better spent creating REAL VALUE for you. Here are some ideas:

Read books.

Learn a skill or hobby.

Exercise.

Go out to eat.

Make a meal at home and enjoy it.

Have sex.

Walk in nature.

Meditate.

Play board games with friends and/or family.

Learn/play a sport with friends/family.

Those are just a few ideas that popped off the top of my dome. I'd now ask/challenge you to compare those ideas with whatever value it is that you think you get from social/mainstream media. Please share in the comments.

And...GO!

Get Off the Internet Soon

In late 2024, I reminded my readers and followers to get off social and mainstream media (SMSM) ENTIRELY in early 2025, and stay off it. While I have no idea who heeded this very timely, accurate, and real warning, I do know that those who have abandoned SMSM consistently are in a much better place in 2026.

I am now calling for people to abandon, disenfranchise, and boycott the entire Internet. This may seem like a bridge too far. It isn't. The Internet is now poison to the mind, body, and soul. It's information has been scientifically shown to be low value and of questionable credibility. You are literally smarter and happier when you are OFF THE INTERNET. Not everyone can or will get off the Internet. That is unfortunate. But those who can should and MUST if there is to be any hope for humanity going forward.

The Internet algos will work very hard to hide and bury this post so most people do not see it. Hopefully, you are not "most people" and you do see it...then also heed it. Because you future well being depends on it.
