Re-Join the Real World
Planet Earth and humanity are suffering under the reign of a oligarchical technocracy. Technology gets better every day, yet we work longer hours and are under constant stress. You can take actions to make things better.
Steps you can take:
- Log off and delete your social media. Keep communications apps if you have to.
- Use the phone to speak to actual humans.
- Block time-sucking websites such as X or Facebook.
- Use extensions like uBlockOrigin and Leechblock to block ads or intrusive sites.
- Remove social media apps from your phone. Get a dumb phone if possible.
- If you have to, use the internet to connect, chat on Discord or other forums, and not to gossip and doom scroll.
- If you have to keep LinkedIn for your job, normalize posting cat photos.
- Call your mom. Call your friends.
- Pet your cat and walk your dog.
- Replace screen time with books.
- Step outside and get some sunlight and fresh air.
- Put your phone away and step outside to get some sunlight. Seriously, it’s good for your brain.
