  • I stumbled onto the same idea through Podcast Your undivided attention produced by humanetech.

    The word should is subjective. Anytime you see it understand that that idea is just their opinion. And people have lots of bad opinions.

  • people are affected by how their environment is designed

    If you really want a brainfuck apply this to your content consumption habits. Negative environment = discourage use. Positive environment = encourage it. Unfortunately anything designed to be addictive(like facebook) can be a negative environment, even if it makes you temporarily happy because of dopamine if you misuse it.

  • reality isn’t real

    It is worth keeping in mind Hanlon's Razor with this. "Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by neglect." They are running on emotions and accepting being wrong hurts so they simply don't accept their emotions.

  • we 'shouldn’t' try to hide the bad things we’ve done when we teach history

    The keyword here is shouldn't. Most people don't do lots of things they should.

    Not out of malice but simply laziness, it is a lot easier to just default to the norm and go on. Try comparing what should get done in politics(campaign promises) to what actually gets done in washington. In short what should happen and what actually happens are two different things in a lot of areas.

  • Actions > Talk. They were telling you their true views. People rarely say the quiet part(their views) out loud so it is valuable to be able to translate their actions into their true views.

    When you know how others truly feel, it allows you to decide who is worth listening to. Not to say you shouldn't listen to people with different views, but instead decide whether they are telling you their beliefs or telling you what they think you want to hear(BSing you) and use that rate how trustworthy they are on the topic.

  • For me it was when I was watching Soul with some friends and eventually came to some emotional realizations. I realized that I only had a superficial understanding of how to communicate. I could discuss ideas in the abstract, but I had trouble with expressing myself emotionally and personally because I was always conditioned to repress how I feel. I guess like 22 in the movie I only saw myself as a casual observer. It took a couple rewatches for me to process the difficult emotions I was feeling into something I could explain but when I did it really helped my overall mental outlook on life.

  • That is one way they learn. But you can't go around punching people in the adult world where often the bullies are your boss or some authority figure like a cop. In those cases you have to minimize how much you interact with physical and emotional boundaries. Trump essentially is a bully in the context of the news headlines and politics. He likes to belittle others.

  • That would be blocking myself from following substantive content I do care about.

    it’s going to be fucking everywhere, as it should

    You're entitled to your opinion and I'm entitled to mine.

    I figured since the prevailing opinion is sufficiently covered in this, I would voice my opinion.

    Understanding others viewpoints is a basis of discussion as is shown when I express a different opinion and generate discussion. :)

  • would be hung

    This is the the Free speech the right so desperately fights to say in the internet discourse. Either thinly veiled threats or dogwhistles.

    Unfortunately for them such speech has consequences for them outside of their small bubbles.

  • Maybe just stop looking at articles with Trump in the title

    That is my approach which is why I am advocating that others do the same. However, on a collective scale, the more energy we focus on complaining the less there is for focusing on other more important matters.

    When you encounter a bully in life you naturally learn to ignore them or avoid them to lessen your psychological harm from their tactics. So ignore the bully.

    if he becomes President again we’re all fucked

    Whether or not you click the article does not affect the outcome of the election, that is the purpose of voting.

  • While you are correct in that there is less real (people generated or organic) online content available to index, I think the search engines do harbor some of the blame because they push the content that is profitable. One only need to look for product recommendations to see this. If you search for 'best waffle irons' you will only get SEO generated contented as it is more profitable. You have to explicitly add reddit to your search to get something resembling a real opinion.

  • I am not lying. You are nitpicking a piece of my argument and then surmising that the rest of my argument doesn't hold. The details of if they are currently blocking tracking is largely irrelevant to my point. I agree with you but you are misdirecting my words into your own ideas.

  • This is not correct. While you may be correct about DDG not sending tracking to MS currently they do have a history of doing that. That does not change the technical fact that DDG is a frontend for Bing with a privacy focus, therefore they are just as subject to enshittification as Bing because their results are Bing results with a different User interface. DDG may be better from a privacy perspective than Bing but they are still subject to enshittification.
