The social contract is an implicit agreement we sign when we are born into or under whatever nation/state/government we reside within.
Torching the contract will throw us in mass chaos, mob rule, hyperpartisanship, tribalistic regression, the list goes on.
Used to think it was blown out of proportion in the hyper-reality of social media, but I see it in everyday life now. Small cracks in society form huge wedges between people.
Basic trust in others, society, the government and it's institutions has been eroded. That might not seem like an important thing for daily life to some, but it is essential to work together as social organisms. Restoring that trust is a generational task. Complicating that task are modern problems beyond the wildest dreams of even the wisest philosophers.
I'm gonna shill for FreshRSS and Feed Me. Been a fantastic combination so far.
Self hosting FreshRSS allows me to curate shit I care about. Even better, it's private aggregation. Sometimes though, I miss the conversation around these topics. For that, Lemmy exists.
So I was listening to a Bloomberg Tech Podcast about this. Someone from some random media group actually said "consumer demand for ad supported content over netflix's usual high production value dramas is up"
For some reason, that statement was both incredibly threatening and incredibly ominous
I just read into it. Interesting. I thought resilience or robustness covered that, but it is an entirely unique term.
I'm honored you think so highly of me! In truth, I am a pretty fragile human being. My feelings are easily hurt, etc. (though I know this is different than you mean) I am working on being a little more thick skinned and such.
I was thinking of psychiatry or internal medicine!
Mental health is at an all-time low nowadays. I think it is a field I can make a more significant difference in. Speaking of higher ambitions, If i do choose psychiatry, I aim to become a lobbyist for mental health as well.
Honestly, albey looks pretty good with the mcfuckboy cut
