This looks like such a losing battle I am at odds with myself.

Maybe it really is existential, The Battle for Humanity etc, and all that matters is fighting valiantly, brothers in arms against the great screen darkness

Or maybe the seemingly impossible odds just suggest this is a dumb fight. Like some leathermaker fighting the Industrial Rev. Adapt, move on, accept the new world.

Where the rubber hits the road for me is kids. I delay screens for young ones, constantly discipline old ones for screen time, but I turn around and three new screens have appeared.

imagine us, out of countless generations of parents, being the ones who knew human life, but raise screen-humans

i do often feel like some fucking farmer whose kids all run off to the factories in BigShitCity, and Im waxing faggotly about how they will no longer know the cycles of the moon, or the feeling of wet dew on bare hobbit feet, etc

Yes, the odds that we alone in human history are here at just the right time to Experience this transition are insane. It points strongly imo to this "world" being some sort of Simulation or Scenario. Perhaps the future AI overlord is running a sim for nostalgia's sake.

what does "humanity" even mean? it is basically just a synonym for hypocrisy.

yeah electricity must have been a mindfuck. Entire way of life - chilling by the fire, singing songs, telling stories - gone.

when i am optimistic I think there have been many of these changes, going all the way back to fire, and that responsible-fathers who see how hard-won traditions are just carry nonstop stress that all is being lost, and that's just normal human experience.

when i am pessimistic I think virtual reality and screens are more insidious than all the other shit, even mass production factory life and urbanization, and that we really might be at the end, starting with our own kids being lost

only two hopes remain, that we tear down this entire technological apparatus in a fit of rebellion or the entire system collapses catostraphically under its own weight

both require billions to die

AI could become malign too soon for it's own good, and we end up in a Battlefield Earth scenario rather than a matrix one.
