and generally horrifying information about the state of affairs. Some choice quotes:
People always say that every generation thinks the younger generation is getting weird, and is crazier. But I believe that what I am witnessing of the gen alphas is just completely different from the type of rebellion of my generation (gen z).
People will keep saying “we’ve always complained about the newest generation,” but society is fundamentally different now and it’s not just this generation. My parents are victims too, slaves to their devices. It seems like only some Gen X and Millennials are at least technologically aware enough to see what’s going on.
The screen and media addiction of generation alpha is actually an emergency that requires government intervention. Its literally like a black mirror episode what this stuff is doing to kids.
They are that incapable of looking at stationary with print on it. If it doesn't have a back-light and it doesn't move, it will not keep their attention.
I truly believe that the current onslaught on young people’s attention is a weird manifestation of how utterly alone we all are. I don’t want to be all woo-woo about it but I do think the “attention economy” and “brainrot” exists purely to fill the psychic wound we collectively share. I think the wound is uniquely bad for young people in that they don’t even know it’s a wound because it’s always been there. It's normal to them because they have never known otherwise, which is a damn shame. It's not their fault to be frank.
The computer in our pockets aren’t inherently bad. I think without meaningful meatspace interactions, connections, and real social networks of love and community things like “brain rot” can grow and fester. I think really do think "brainrot" is a symptom of a larger rot in all of lives.
meat in the meet space
Exactly. Meet other meat and make that meat mean something to you. Better yet, create systems that allow for meat to meet. Meat must meet.
