    Ok first off, I dont actually believe this, but I think this post is probably of goint to go into conspiracytheory territory, so be prepared for that.
    The reason I am making this post, is that I have noticed, that nowdays pretty much everything we encounter in our lifes, is in some way making us miserable, unless we make a concious choice to avoid it, which can be pretty difficult, as most of you have probably experienced with pmo.

    A few examples:

    Porn: I think we all know how much it can mess you up.

    Social media: I have never been that interested in it, since I have always been a bit antisocial, but pretty much everone seems to use it, and people become depressed from it, but they cant stop. I feel like it is the pmo for women. Seriously, when I look at my little sisters phone while shes on social media, it doesnt look so different from what my screen would look like during a pmo session, everything is colourful exaggerated and you have tons and tons of new images popping up all the time. but maybe I am interpreting too much into it.

    Food: especially fastfood, it makes you fat, can cause multiple healt issues, and gives you diarrhea.

    Media: Youtube in particular, I love this platform, but lately I have noticed that I get drawn into all kinds of bullshit all the time. I recently have been interested in american politics, I would love to see videos, that explain viewpoints, open discussions about different topics etc. but instead I get bombarded with stupid clickbait, and random videos with someone ranting about some stupid irrelevant shit etc. I actually started to "clean up" my youtube frontpage regularly by regularly flagging everything that is clickbaity as "not interested", which made things a bit better.

    Radio: seriously, I cant listen to this shit anymore. To me it seems more and more like random noise. The same 3 songs on repeat, interrupted by some fake happy moderator, brabbling meaningless shit, and commercial breaks.

    I could probably find some more stuff that I hate, but the point is, all this stuff is surrounding us every day. Thousands of meaningless stimuli competing for our attention all the time. As I mentioned, I dont actually believe, that there is a single evil force behind this. Its probably more the case that a couple of careless selfish forces have overtaken large parts of our lifes, exploiting peoples weakness for personal gain, making us miserable in the process.
    Does anyone feel the same? Do you think this will become worse? Will people wake up to it? Or will they one day just be useless bags of meat, staring into some screen, until some corporate boss decides, that they no longer create enough value for them and their lifesupport is shut off? Am i too pessimistic again?
    I would like to hear your oppinions.

    It's all about setting boundaries and completely cutting stuff off like I did.
