What if there really is no conspiracy and nobody in charge? What if society is just a headless blunder operating under the illusion of a master plan? Can you grasp that?

Here I will post media from the early 2010s or even earlier.

This used to be a thing, believe it or not. "Le", "you don't say?", "true story" and "me gusta" used to be popular memes.

Do you know how Foucault's pendulum works? Did you know that it can be used to prove that the Earth rotates?

Manuli

You let the pendulum swing back and forth, and in 24 hours it completes a full circle. But the pendulum itself does not rotate, as there is no sideways force that would affects its linear swinging motion. So it must be the ground beneath the pendulum that rotates. The pendulum is fixed to the ceiling with a nearly frictionless ball joint that allows the pendulum to swing unaffected even when the building itself around the pendulum is slowly rotating. I think this is super cool.

That looks super comfy. Has that early 2000s vibe.

The smartest individuals reject society and technology.
You might think the smartest ones adapt to the system and succeed in it. It's one type of intelligence, but true pioneers leave a broken system instead of keeping it alive for personal gain.

Every day I'm wondering if I should drop out from university and live in a tent. No job, no Internet connection, no smartphone. There's something about modern society that makes me feel sick, like I was in an invisible prison, separated from real life. Everything feels like a distraction. You know what I mean?

We're already nearing a point in time where tech companies like Microsoft, Google, meta etc. could take total control of humanity. They have so much money and influence that they're basically politicians that weren't elected democratically.
And we let this happen.

There are a lot of psychos in charge of tech nowadays half of these large companies are basically just fronts for intelligence agencies it is like a tyrants dream but again the general populace are not guilt free they have all the information to know what is bad and what is good and they choose the evil tech for it's convenience.

Still running a non systemd OS on my laptop however, Void Linux it is a great OS.

Sounds like a good idea, it would be cool for more people to join. Maybe also put an ad on 4chan or something. I found this site from a /g/ thread.

People mistakenly treat electric vehicles as a godsend, when in fact they're just a capitalist ruse.

Try to remember what has happened to every battery-operated device you've owned. Not only are they always out of juice, but once the battery no longer holds charge, you throw it in the trash. This is exactly the case with electric cars. A new battery pack can cost as much as a brand new car, making electric cars effectively single-use. How sustainable is that? Meanwhile my 90s Toyota is still running strong.
