It’s more about the temptation towards distraction. When it comes to legacy or trying to make it, after really questioning what that even means, I’ve realised it’s pointless for me to keep going down this path. I’ll only truly make it once I separate myself and start discovering, creating, and stop wasting days inside the algorithmic abyss. The only thing I might do is upload the occasional low effort YouTube rant here and there, and even then I’m not sure if I want to. I don’t want anything to do with persona or image anymore. I just want to live. And all I see now is people convincing themselves they’re free while being completely tied to their personas, their phones, their platforms. People are getting dumber by the day. We’re not built to take in this much information. I want to now pay full attention to art, writing, experience, and life itself. I’m fed up with this idea that everyone’s work will be automated and everyone will just become influencers. We already have enough creativity, enough will, enough depth to change things. But the current way of doing it doesn’t work. The message never lands, and the art never gets found.

I’ve come to a pretty profound realisation. Finally at 27, I don’t think I want to be on social media anymore. Yes, it sounds like some teenage crashout from someone struggling with their content, but quite frankly it’s not struggle or addiction that’s keeping me here anymore. For the first time in my life I actually see it for what it is. A complete waste of time. It’s a beautiful neutral thing on the surface, but it’s being optimised and used for something much darker. Profit, misinformation, war, clickbait, all of it. I’ve genuinely had enough, this is my own personal decision and observation. And it’s funny because I had ambitions of being a content creator or some kind of personality. When in reality I’ve been wasting days, week in, week out, instead of learning things that actually matter…Skills, knowledge, ideas that genuinely feel real. And whilst I’ve been trying to show the world who I was, I was quietly avoiding parts of myself, checking in on whether not this actually what life should be about. For the first time ever I feel like I actually understand who I am and what I’m trying to do, without that need most people seem to have to become some kind of public figure or influential voice that’s meant to change something. The truth is I don’t learn anything valuable from social media anymore. Not one thing. Maybe the occasional story or something that keeps me loosely aware of the CULTure, but I don’t want to participate in it anymore. I want to step away completely. Read, create, write. That’s it.

Bro… it’s satire.

A lot of rumours circulating recently that Bibi has been killed by an Iranian strike… I’m here to provide definitive proof and fact check that it is indeed false. Be careful with the disinformation currently spreading throughout social media. #istandwithisrael

We need more masculinity… #manosphere #louistheroux #masculinity #psychology #grownostr

I think as you advance on the path toward enlightenment, it becomes harder and harder for people to understand you, and when you finally achieve enlightenment, you can't say anything at all, and anything you say must be misunderstood; that's the proof that you're enlightened. If you're a perfect black hole, you must be incomprehensible, no information must leave you.
