I can only have authentic experiences and connections if I don’t post pictures about it. And, this is a REMINDER regarding "like-based scrolling-feed" social media. The introduction of “scrolling,” and “likes,” on social media (by big tech) changed human psychology (we don't use those features here). They will NEVER stop engineering to make social media as addictive as possible. I feel the disease in our collective consciousness. The degradation of truth, humility, and so on.

I could see the sky, the earth, the trees, the animals, all the flora and fauna, without deviation, without distortion or diversion. But mankind appears to me, grotesque, vile, foul, ignominious, none more so than myself. With others. I can occasionally be fair with others. There is a chance of expiation with myself, though I am a hanging judge to myself. I show no mercy. There is no criticism I don't believe, no compliment I accept. I avoid mirrors. Mirrors are bad. Catching a glimpse of my reflection in a store window is enough to ruin my whole day." --S. Auslander
