disrupting the feedback loop incrementally? injecting enough of a counter argument to bring it back to center?

Its a tall, time consuming task, but centering the mind through ideas is meticulous and thankless often confrontational and aggressive but overtime youll see a shift and not have to sway things so hard to have a decent dialogue.

This is why I like debates, both sides are helping each other find the truth, not necessarily be right. Problem with social media, its become a battleground of perspectives and ideas none of which has any basis on reality other than a blurb of impact on an infinite news cycle. Its a distraction with no real purpose when it started off as a great tool to communicate with different minds across the globe.

I think that this sub might as well be sci-fi realism, not necessarily reality but it could be.

magical realism through technology and although things may seem to shake out in a certain way (climate change, corpos taking over) its that assumption and beliefs in those things that make the terror real. The human capacity of creative powers has infinite capcity which some people with power use as leverage to make you believe in whatever they want.

This is mostly a mentals game. If you were swimming in garbage water for years, all you would think is that everywhere is garbage water . there are plenty bodies of waters that are pristine, untouched and waiting for people. People need only courage to cross over and the mindfulness to not pollute the next area

this place is full of hope, then dashed by “realistic comments” that have little to know basis on reality

or

doom and gloom posts that are supported by people who don’t see any light towards the future.

OP if youre an optimist, stick around and make your voice heard. Its a bubble here that when left as it is, it becomes exactly what you say, depressed voices crying out for hope, then shoving it away when its given to them.

we want to get to a “safer” way of getting to the stars. Currently we are strapping a controlled bomb onto our asses and shooting ourselves up into space Making that nuclear is a step in the wrong direction

instead thinking explosive, maybe looking into different methods of propulsion and lift are in order. There are examples all around us of how to use this dimension in ways that are away from fire, we have to start thinking outside the box instead of rehashing and making things more intense the previous
