No Great Direction

Monday the 4th of August 2025 and you know there's a yeah like at the moment I'm not entirely certain what direction that we're heading in as a collective ego as a collective society but one thing that I do know is that social media has played a part in giving all of us the

impression that we're far more important than what we actually are. I tend to find that you know cancel

culture is definitely kind of like a symptom of that because it's like you are far more important than what we actually are. I tend to find that cancel culture

is definitely kind of like a symptom of that because it's like we all get, we all collectively get together on social media and decide whether somebody should be canceled, quote unquote, whatever that's supposed to mean. And I'm not entirely certain what that does for us,

if I'm being honest. I don't know what it does for us. Yeah, certain people do deserve to I guess to be shunned by society but at the end of the day all of these things really exist only because somebody's bothered to kind of like create a technology to make us connect and it just sits in our pocket for goodness sakes many of us are not the people we are not the reason why we are

We're not, you know, passing the tap of judgment, like you know, we're not effectively, you know, we're not judges so to speak and some of the topics that we do cancel people on, we're not experts in those topics either. And, you know, again, I really do worry about the direction that we're heading in,

because, you know, having a higher sense of importance to what is actually, you know, having a sense of importance that isn't aligned with the truth and what the reality actually is, is quite dangerous. And it makes me worry, because it's just like,

I, yeah, it's just weird because it's just like, yeah, it's just weird, it's just weird. Like I'm not entirely certain what the future holds for us when it comes to our collective ego. But all I will say is that the more and more that we learn how to become self-aware, the more and more that we learn about our egoic blind spots, the better.

And you know, vice versa, the less we know know the more we pretend that these things cannot harm us the more we pretend that these things cannot be dangerous And you know, vice versa, the less we know know the more we pretend that these things cannot harm us the more we pretend that these things cannot be dangerous the more problematic that becomes
