Don't let your mind be a jar

  It’s so funny to live at the end of the “don’t read that, it’ll rot your brain” era and the beginning of the “don’t watch that, it’ll rot your brain” era.

  Seems like whatever young people are doing in a given moment is wrong

    The point of this post isn’t that TV is bad and books are good, the kid is watching 1 guy 1 jar on the TV.

    What if books were invented after video games?

    These new ‘libraries’ that have arisen in recent years to facilitate reading activities are a frightening sight: dozens of young children, normally so vivacious and socially interactive, sitting alone in cubicles, reading silently, oblivious to their peers.

    But perhaps the most dangerous property of these books is the fact that they follow a fixed linear path. You can’t control their narratives in any fashion - you simply sit back and have the story dictated to you. Why would anyone want to embark on an adventure utterly choreographed by another person? But today’s generation embarks on such adventures millions of times a day.

    This risks instilling a general passivity in our children, making them feel as though they’re powerless to change their circumstances. The book readers of the younger generation are learning to ‘follow the plot’ instead of learning to lead.

      A beautiful piece of contrarianism.

      Idk if I’d call it convincing, but it’s a great illustration of how you can turn all these critiques on their heads and sound just as “concerned”.

      Socrates complained that reading and writing would make the youth dumb because they no longer had to rely on memory alone. Old people railing against any change in tradition is a tale older than time.

    I think it’s an old trauma inducing video from early Internet days where a man attempts to fit a jar into his butt, only to have it break in the attempt. It’s really utterly horrifying, but I’ll admit to laughing at the reference here.

      There’s blood too. Silent, bloody anus horror.

      Well I’m glad I asked. I’ll scratch “ass trauma glass jar videos” from my to-do list this weekend.

    It’s a shock video called 1man1jar.

    He sits on it, it goes inside him, then shatters.
    He then starts to pick the pieces of glass out of himself, while bleeding everywhere.

    Hollow and glass, keep away from your ass.

  Ok but what if the kid on the left is watching bill nye, the kid on the right looking at porno mags?

  Shouldn’t the thesis here be message > media not media > message?

    The old magazines had great articles, and great pictures to break up the reading.

    It’s definitely an experiment, but is isn’t Bill Nye.

    I had to look up the definition of aphantasia as I’d never heard of it before. That is so fascinating!

    Do you have an inner monologue? I read that they can sometimes co-occur.

      That’s not age appropriate for anyone.
