The Electric Monk was a labour-saving device, like a dishwasher or a video recorder... Electric Monks believed things for you, thus saving you what was becoming an increasingly onerous task, that of believing all the things the world expected you to believe. - Douglas Adams

Those were some of my favorite books of Adams.

Eh, the first Dirk Gently novel was kinda a mess IMO, I think it tried to fit too many ideas into one book. I thought it's sequel "The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul" was amazing though.

Back when I would burn down a book in less than a week, I loved a mess. These days I'm pickier.

I am speaking from inside my own bubble, but I've seen non-techy acquaintances reduce social media usage thanks to it being filled with AI generated content and had hopes for a better future. Now reading that article and mention of 2,5m users following this account shattered that hope.

The followers are probably also "AI".

I hope so too. For sure there are, but hopefully it's the majority.

What once protected the child becomes exhaustion in the adult. Anxiety is not a brokenness. It is adaptation. It is the nervous system saying, I learned this to keep you safe. Healing does not come from fighting the system, but from slowly teaching it that survival is no longer required. This is why the 30-day healing journey exists, not to fix you, but to gently guide the body out of constant alertness, one day at a time.

I mean, aside from the "30-day healing journey" this sounds pretty genuine. Although, I think it is probably slop-ified from Thich Nhat Hanh.
