Attempting to persuade your lower self by reason and arguments of why xyz is good or bad, right or wrong seems like a fruitless endeavor. Either reign it in or loose to it

Hardly anything which I came across social media I found to be useful and most of what I read on SM was forgotten after max. 24h, for me this vindicates McLuhans mantra, “the medium (not the content) is the message”, but what exactly does this medium (SM) carry as a message? Simulation of human relationships accompanied by swarm thinking and a plethora of other collective ills, instantaneous access to entertainment, never ending noise, feeling of accomplishment by posting something, feeling of being heard of being connected. This connectedness in a atomistic society constitutes the real message, life and social relations chopped up and made ready for consumption.

After the conquest of space now on the conquest of time, modern man has set his eyes upon, abstracting time, doing away with natural rhythms and rituals, conditioned by events occurring in nature, bc they are to suspicious, the Protestant pathos smells dangerous vestiges of pagan times and superstition in them. Followed by the mechanization of time and circular mechano-organic time i.e (Bergsonian) time, all signs of a mind that views time as yet another resource to be managed, exchanged, invested in, an object/commodity to keep it short, this is where we are standing now time as a resource.

Consciousness is a gift not to be squandered away with screen time or any other useless activities. All knowledge is self knowledge

Social Media is one of the production facilities of our new currency, data, better to stay silent and when posting than with intent, that’s also why I left X, too much senseless talking, also coming from people who know better, which I honestly find sad.

University, as its original purpose has been distorted, i.e an institution facilitating the journey to becoming a free human being, and forth subsumed under the techno-capitalist logic, resembles the modern work space milieu, another technical milieu, in almost all its aspects, except that the units attending the courses, are yet not fully functionally operative. As this hijacking has reached completion, we can now tangibly verify this, for example in the social domain of university live, as I guess most of us have attended uni; below are four points Moore has observed, with regards to social relations in the modern workspace, just substitute work with college, and see how applicable it is to our contemporary social dynamics in tertiary education. 1.Technical requirements of their work: they must not develop into deep relationships. 2.They must be universal, meaning they must be fulfillable by any person, even someone new to the job or with other relationships outside of the work environment. 3.Relationships must be rational, as the entire technical work complex follows rational rules. 4. The relationships must be impersonal

The potency of consumption objects lies in their indeterminacy and indefiniteness, in the fact that they can be utilized in a variety of semiotic manipulations: „Thus the washing machine serves as an appliance and acts as an element of prestige, comfort, etc. It is strictly this latter field which is the field of consumption. All kinds of other objects may be substituted here for the washing machine as signifying element“1. Symbols in these terms may be viewed as intelligible mater, a concept coined by Plotinus, being a pendant to the intelligible forms, intelligible mater is everything at the same time, in contrast to mater in the sensible world, where one form can substitute another, thus losing its self identity, something not possible for intelligible mater. Imagine it like a variable in math, for example x ranging over the domain of R, as a placeholder symbol our variable is encapsulated by the whole set of R, without ever losing its self identity, x is still x even though the concept (form) of a specific number may be attached to it. By analogy we can view this abstract system of production as a form-giving apparatus connected via signs who function as shape-shifting signifiers where the symbols of production never lose their self-identity, a functional one that is, e.g the washing machine still is a washing machine in its operations, but can be infused with various, potentially indefinite, meanings, hence show casing a great degree of potentia for semiotic manipulation. 1)The Consumer Society (Published in association with Theory, Culture & Society) Jean Baudrillard

As discerning as Neo-Luddites may be in their analysis of the negative effects of modern technics, their strategy of survival always falls short, owing to the simple observation, that once a technic is brought forth, it can not be reversed, you then either damagecontrol or sublate it.

An ever greater share of jobs fulfills the function of UBI paired with spreadsheet GNP growth, people get employed to literally do nothing, take a look at the tertiary sector, the dumping ground of the economy, where all uselessness is transformed into advertisement for the system, “ Yes there still exists an economy” “ Your work is essential to society ” “ We can’t do without you” People “working” in said sector are appeased by stable wages and relative comfort, which facilitate their consumption behavior; this ofc can’t go on for ever and then what?

Increasingly of the opinion that decentralization is a Fugazi, and the only think really happening here is a muddling of the waters.

Muslims have been pushed towards the edges,to eke out an existence as passive particles with no agency, ultimately leading to a (false) disassociation from this world. “The gloomy hare-brained enthusiast, after his death , may have a place in a calendar; but will scarcely ever be admitted, when alive, into intimacy and society, except by those who are delirious and dismal as himself.” - Moral Inquiry , David Hume

The forum/marketplace/mall embodies, in its essence, the makan of democracy, free floating particles, being drawn from the alleys towards an all consuming whirl, where they clash and fusion with others, a cacophony it seems, unbeknownst to them they are steered in a particular direction by increasingly non-human forces. Disharmony still reigns but complete arbitrariness never existed. A Kafkaesque feeling of a swindling center sets in, the grey eminences of our time getting ever more abstruse. A few pierce through this charade most are sucked in.

What we give is important not what we take, and exactly therein lies power; in the gift-giving and not in the gift-receiving. The platitude of “be a producer not a consumer” is true, even if it is parroted by people who don’t know the deeper implications and meanings behind it.

“With the growing atheism, death gains in horror, as the annihilation seems complete and irrevocable. Death is overestimated, both by the one who suffers it and by the one who orders it” ~ “Eumeswill”, Ernst Jünger How can you deny Allah? You were lifeless and He gave you life, then He will cause you to die and again bring you to life, and then to Him you will ˹all˺ be returned Al Baqarah 28 Are you ˹O Prophet˺ not aware of the one who argued with Abraham about his Lord because Allah had granted him kingship? ˹Remember˺ when Abraham said, “My Lord is the One Who has power to give life and cause death.” He argued, “I too have the power to give life and cause death.” Abraham challenged ˹him˺, “Allah causes the sun to rise from the east. So make it rise from the west.” And so the disbeliever was dumbstruck. And Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people. Al Baqarah, 258 We ordered, “O fire! Be cool and safe for Abraham!” Al Anbya, 69

That the economic system seeks to erase contingencies, for example poverty, unemployment or even war, is naught but a fallacy; it strives on them, utilizing everything the positive as well as the negative, to ensure its survival, it is a parasite on everything. Once we understand this, and that many systems are designed along the same lines, we can be the tick on the tick, ride the tiger, become the Jünger’ian anarch, whatever one wants to call it.

Push for Greenland maybe following calculations on the part of US, to preemptively disrupt a build up/further consolidation of russian influence in the arctic sea? @Ibn Maghreb

Musk tryin to destabilize the U.K even further, making, this now semi failed state, even more available for power grabs by GAE? Or has he just completely lost it?
