Back when we used to live on farms and grow our own food, families would have tons of kids because they couldn't afford not too.
That seems engineered, too. Where does that stop anyone else around the world?
I think we've been the target of some crazy propaganda for a long time. Generally, I don't think people are just too busy. They have been conditioned to have their values shifted.
Community has been replaced with online community, which leads to loneliness and increased susceptibility to further manipulation.
Church has been replaced with the state and self-worship.
People don't want to have kids because they think it goes against self-worship and they've been trained to fear how it will accelerate the world ending. With all that and pro-abortion propaganda, birth rates have tanked.
I see a lot of modern leftist policy really being a rebranding of the eugenics movement popular in the early to mid-20th century. We all thought they went away, but they just got a better PR team.
Yeah, that's a good point. For some reason my brain doesn't think to get help.
What do you do when you are being pulled in too many directions, when there is too much work to do all at the same time?
1. Paralysis is a typical response when overwhelmed.
2. Keep inching each project forward little by little to the detriment of all.
3. Just keep moving on one and let the others suffer until it's done.
4. Prioritizing and tackling each in order. This seems the same as "just keep moving on one" with a little planning.
I think I cycle through these responses. As pressure from PMs rise or deadlines approach, my strategy escalates from one to the next. However, starting at prioritization would probably be ideal.
The problem comes when priorities are unclear or unpredictable. If everything is top priority, there can be no ranking, so there is effectively no priority. If unpredictable, as in a "putting out fires" situation or "oiling the squeakiest wheel" case, this strategy falls apart.
I think this is where I am at, currently: a mixture of unclear and unpredictable priorities. Not fun.
PMs, do better.
How does this look exactly like the offices at my work 😅
I guess there's one supplier that installs everything, including the plant and outdated wall art?
I'm not well read on the topic, but Diogenes was an interesting character that pushed back hard on the system.

Discerning when to do so is the wisdom we should be seeking.
Information finds a way to freely flow. Controllers adapt and put control mechanisms in place. The cycle repeats.
Decentralized methods are the only thing that can break the cycle. Make tech that can't be controlled.
Just went down a big Peter Weller rabbit hole 🤙
More Philip K Dick for the win.

Literally put them in almost anything else, and it's better.
A beuatiful woman in overalls will still look beautiful or a woman doing farm work in overalls is beautiful. But, the overalls aren't improving the situation.

Yeah, maybe anti-spam at the relay level?
Check out the research by Dr. Robert Epstein. He has been recording the impact of Google's left political maipulation for years.

Nice try Fed.
Or, whatever the kids are saying these days 😂
When you carry everyday, shit is bound to happen. Gun prints on your clothes, shirt rides up, etc. and someone overreacts.
Stay safe, man 🫡
