I would eliminate the "features and benefits" by turning off notifications on the home screen.. The phone goes boop then she goes to the messages cause it has a unique sound and check their message. Almost all the other goofy apps, unless it's messaging, I turn off the notifications. For me, the best approach is eliminating variables. But this is all relative to the needs and desires of each unique individual. But I think eliminating variables is the best approach. Unless they get curious about something and ask questions, then you can expand off of the basics.

Most charities are just scams. And yeah they might do some good, but charity is a symptom of failure. We are byproduct of our environment.

Innovation I tell you, gawd damn innovation... Day late, dollor short. Too much and never enough. Can you smell the stench of toxic positive optimism, the self satisfaction of those that don't think they will be left with the bag. You know the "low level winner" of inconsequential gains.... One extra bowl of slop. The vain and envious.. The non factual lacking in the mathematical. Oh what grand ol world. Capitalism is as natural as a ice pick rammed up my arse.

I just think it's good at summarizing things and maybe possibly pointing me in a direction to correct code. But if I trust it too much it will break my system. And I'll be spouting off disinformation. I feel if artificial intelligence was introduced to the public outside of a time of economic decline (haha) and the intentions of imperialist wars, we might have kind of eased into it in a way that was more productive. But honestly, I think, and I don't know how authoritarian they will be about this, but I mean, if the consumer doesn't like it, what good is it for the business? I see the bubble popping and people crashing. It's just got bad vibes, you know? No finesse.

Make it so it last 3 days. Not really a big deal.

Honestly, when people say that I think they're referring to the financial system. in the age of surveillance capitalism. and the predatory environments that we live in, there is no protection against corporations from scamming you and nickling diming you from every direction to the point where you're left with nothing and you are wander on the streets. Decades of not allowing people to repair their own things and following the rule of the lowest common denominator, we are left with a very generic throwaway society. that doesn't value human skill set, which leaves us all in a sense of hopelessness and helplessness. It's not that people can't take care of themselves. It's just they're not allowed to, unless the billionaire can get between you and what you need. It seems we are revisiting the 20s and 30s, but only the technofascist version. This is just a continuation of the boom and bust cycle with different flavor.

We try to make things that should be simple, complicated, and complicated things too simple. A labyrinth of illogical behavior as the matador of reflexive Markets of self-interest chase us from corner to corner. We wence in pain and lose interest in the things that we once loved. Just because good things can happen doesn't mean they will happen. I'm not a believer in magic, but there's still nothing new under the sun. Exponential feedback loops on a road to nowhere on tracks coming to an end.
