Had this article shared with me today: fortune.com/2025/02/11/ai-impa

I went through an array of #emotions. At first, I found it #awkward and #discomforting. I made jokes:

Wait, you mean people aren't thinking #critically and growing #cognitively because the #digitalization of the world is doing it for them....and it's making them (gasps) #dumber!!?? #AI is making it worse?? Is this #Idiocracy? 👀 😞 Am I being #punked right now!? Where's Ashton and the cameras! 📹

Then, I had a deep #selfrealization:

Jokes aside - This is a #sensitive topic for me. I talk about it in my closest circle too often. Unfortunately, I have a front seat to the steep cognitive #decline of some close #friends and #family members for years now, and it makes me sad - not because of disease or "old age", simply because of too much screen time and no new cognitive #stimulation. I see too many people purposefully avoiding nearly anything #cerebral, if they even approach them at all. I have many days where I wish the #Internet didn't exist - for a multitude of reasons, but this is a big one. I'm not trying to be "old fashioned" or #sarcastic, I'm just #disappointed in how we #humanz have grown to depend on #technology as a #crutch, rather than using it as the #tool it was invented to be. As the article eludes to, these technologies are supposed to #complement human #evolution, not #supplement it.

"Normal people are attracted to people who are roughly age appropriate" is true for many, probably most women. We tend to like our own age +5

Men however are most often attracted to puberty plus +5

and that does not change. Men don't start looking at different porn as they grow older. Senior citizens and teens watch the same erotic vids.

Q for folks who may have #knowledge of or #experience with this new #device for #ADHD #kids and perhaps #adults monarch-etns.com/ Monarch external #trigeminal #nerve #stimulation #eTNS device connects to a disposable patch placed on your child’s forehead at bedtime. Once turned on, the device sends low stimulating pulses to the trigeminal nerve through the patch overnight. Thank you.

"Do you have something with more oomph?"

"Double espresso not enough?"

"No." The customer yawned blearily. "I need more #stimulation."

"Got it, sir. Something stronger and hotter." The barista pulled a red lever.

An orange glow appeared behind him, along with a blast of searing air.

The customer's eyes widened. "What's that?"

Raising an asbestos shield, the barista replied, "Java lava golem. All yours."
