Is technology bad for the soul? Does using these devices every day damage our thoughts?
>>42841049God incarnated as the consumer and the crackhead to test if his own soul could survive damnation. Technology itself is what the box says; the fruit of the tree of knowledge but it’s how you use that knowledge by using the creators ruler.
>>42841067It's not the tree of knowledge. It's knowledge of good and evil. Which technology seems to be doing a rather expedient job of dismantling.
>>42841049Its totally possible to have a little gamer cave which isnt utterly ugly, uncomfortable and self cucked like the one in the video. For some reason there are a lot of similar ones down to the sterile walls and overall feel, neon lighting and the same eerie gay torture room vibe I cant fully articulate. I mean its not hard to have some warm and soft yellow lights, nice couches, maybe some posters about things youre passionate about etc.
It's like asking if a body is good or bad for the soul. Depends what you do with it.
>>42841049it's pretty much the same as it always was, for example socrates wouldnt learn to write because he thought it would atrophy memory. people used to memorize 1200 page iliad now they don't. so it's gonna be like that. actually you can discern as im using grok this example, that in Dune they ban machines and then cultivate psychic bloodlines like mentats and bene geserits, because they see the value of doing things grassroots as men and women. you're always at risk of being called a luddite, but I think with respect to transhumanism, it should always be the civilian's choice whether he transitions. you even see this problem in psychiatry where they convince you that you're a women and do irreversible bodily mutation. this actually started with trauma interrogations in the 80s
>>42842708Men should have their own frame (and therefore interests), I think the thing that actually bothers people on an instinctual level about the video is the lack of masculinity. There's nothing wrong with video games per se. It's the nu-male vibe of it
>>42843018Socrates was right. You see it with the ancient Buddhist literature as well, they memorized everything and the monks would recite them. But the issue was minor because the jump was very small and the medium of writing and reading actually fostered personal growth in a different way.The issue with AI is that it conditions you to stop thinking for yourself, and AI itself has this vibe of omipotence in how it speaks and corrects you. It dovetails perfectly into the "trust the experts" narrative.If you were one of those people who had poor pattern recognition and couldn't connect the dots, then AI has significantly lowered the bar for people to get correct information. A lot more than before where they were lost and had to rely on influencers to decode the complexities of the world to them. But information isn't understanding. I worry about kids growing up with AI because it really will atrophy the ability to think independently. The struggle of "not knowing" itself was the impetus for personal growth, not the end goal, the PROCESS itself was the thing that built character. Similar to how the barrier-to-entry for photography was significantly lowered with the advent of the digital camera and the move away from analogue. The initial hurdles and high-barrier to entry forced a level of personal growth that is harder to replicate nowadays, unless you have the discipline to not use AI and force yourself to have to daydream, a discipline most people don't have and kids certainly won't have owing to their youth and lack of brain development.
>>42841049>>42842708>>42843023It isn't a "lack of masculinity," it''s the open worship of consumerism. Feng shui is a thing and there is none of that going on here. Simply look at the layout. Things he bought solely for the sake of displaying, much of it unopened, saturating every single space; no room to breathe, no room to simply exist, constant stimulation from lights, flashing colors. None of it shows character, none of it shows passion, and he's genuinely covered his walls in corporate adverts (they don't make these things to be aesthetically appealing or thought provoking, they designed them to get sold from a shelf as fast as possible). There's a fucking bed and a dining space in there.This is the type of creature who would likely tell you you're judging him because you can't afford what he's spent on his "hobby," but he may as well be outright shrieking about a childhood he'll never experience (or a childhood he perpetuated at the expense of becoming a man). Realistically we should all feel pity for him. You can't raise a kid in this space. It's worth questioning what kind of woman would be okay with this space.By the time he realizes how horrible it feels to be in there, sunk cost fallacy may even convince him to keep it anyway. You're not looking at a successful man reaping his rewards. You're looking at a prisoner who made his own cage and covered it in gaudy RGB lighting. Perhaps he'll snap out of it if he ever loses power for a day, but I doubt it.
>>42841049>Is technology bad for the soul?Yes. All technology, going back to flint-knapping.
>>42841049Why are you so obsessed with this faggots room? are you jealous?
>>42841049you have a mental disorder
Yes. I think it is straight up bad. I think all of fantasy is fixed in medieval history because thats when we had the perfect amount of technology and since then technology has only brought on horrors and degraded us.
