The alienation of people can be directly attributed to a lack of equilibrium with nature. It is quite remarkable to observe the few indigenous tribes that still exist today, as the existential problems that have manifested across the entire Western hemisphere barely seem to cross their minds. This is not to say we should go full blown Ted Kaczynski and swap our MacBooks for sticks and stones, but rather to emphasise that we must recognise how modern technologies have incentivised and perpetuated a need for dominance and power. These technologies have enabled the maximisation of profits to such an extent that profit is often prioritised over people themselves. As a species neurologically wired for dominance hierarchies, it becomes increasingly vital to develop an awareness of how the human psyche operates, how technology can be both fundamental and dangerous, and how a return to the past might uncover valuable, lost treasures.

Still can't believe I ever believed into vaccinations.

I'm learning about Steganography: the practice of concealing information within another message. More specifically, I'm learning about Least Significant Bit Steganography, which changes the color of a pixel in a parent image (in this case a meme) by an indistinguishable amount to communicate the information that is hidden.

Like an an invisible watermark.

Within this meme is a secret QR code that holds 10,000 sats worth of e-cash. The money is in the meme.

E-cash, secret messages, signatures, or even private keys (though I wouldn't recommend it) could be hidden in plain sight within an image.

So instead of sending long text strings like "cashuBo2Ftdmh0dHBzOi8..." you can just pay people in memes, which I think is pretty cool.
