Intimacy has become shallow, driven by apps and the fear of loneliness. We use bodies rather than connect with people, leading to empty encounters.
We perform our lives online for validation, curating profiles to the point that we lose touch with our true selves. This performance is exhausting and ultimately unfulfilling.
Life, especially in micro cosmos, can be suffocating. People feel judged and unseen, leading to quiet despair and a feeling that personal unhappiness is their own fault.
Many people are too afraid of being hurt to express their true feelings, resulting in unspoken words, missed connections, and a deep-seated emotional fatigue.
Our political and social systems often feel like a show, offering the illusion of choice while discouraging real dissent. Justice becomes more of a slogan than a reality.
We look to AI to solve our problems, but without careful, ethical programming, it will only reflect and amplify human flaws like greed and bias.
True goodness isn't found in grand gestures, but in small, everyday decisions: being honest, listening, and continuing to try even when no one is watching.
I recently wrote an article titled "How Unusual Are 'Unusual' Sexual Fantasies?" In it, I conducted a literature review, which included a reanalysis of Aella's Big Kink study. While the article didn't directly address whether the internet has reprogrammed sexual desire, I noticed that the survey numbers for BDSM and other extreme interests remained consistent over time, suggesting that the internet hasn't made people more perverted: https://thehumanconditionrevisited.substack.com/p/how-unusual-are-unusual-fantasies
That’s great. Your gorillas seem sad, though. You took the hardest end of the debate: Are you a full nativist, or concede that the environment can have major impacts on sexual desire, just it’s not clear the internet is uniquely powerful here? No significant cultural or historical variation?
