Phones are scrying mirrors. On the other side of them lie nothing but demons. Computer desktops with a crt were portals to anywhere you aimed them. The rest lie somewhere inbetween. TV's are funhouse mirrors that distort reality. Modern computer screens are empty husks and anything you "see" in them is projected from within

@capstasher: Anyone can literally try this at home with a simple polarising filter. At certain angles the bright screen turns black, while the rest of the world is bright, leaving you only with a sad reflection. My intuition tells me parts of our subconsciousness cannot perceive this false light, and only observe our reflection.

They're like amplifiers that conjure those secret sides of ourselves. That secret darkness is corrupted even further and then we are left with two identities, often swallowed by the realm of mirrors and noise.

I think they have the capacity to be both depending upon how you use them. Social media platforms that are designed to show you what an algorithm thinks you would want to see will likely keep you in a feedback loop of reflecting the worst parts of yourself, whereas non-algorithmic online spaces that directly involve connection first and foremost do not do that, and in fact can be a source of good source of connectio

@zazilicious: I agree that there are good and healthy spaces online, but I suspect that the medium (screens) we use to access these spaces affect us in many negative ways. I wonder if anyone has done studies on screen addiction, online and offline behaviour using normal LCD screens vs unlit E-ink screens?

@zazilicious: I'm just saying "Lucifer," in Latin, translates to "light bringer". Through this light portal (screens) we are promised endless enlightenment, all you have to do is pass the gate of light.

I fully believe CRT, despite being joked about as a cancer tube, was better than LED. And certainly unlit LCD was not bad in the slightest (Try this if you can: On an LCD device with adjustable back/frontlight, turn it off and use the sun. It feels as it should be.) If anything at least the CRT had a built in screentime limiter: your eyes would start hurting and that was your signal to stop.

Modern screens, especially with blue light filters, are made to be as pleasant on the eye as possible, however that doesn't make them "not bad", let alone "good". I think e-Ink displays have great potential. Wish they were better used. Maybe I'll grab one to experiment

Lucifer promise us endless knowledge through the screens, but what is the point of knowledge if you lose the ability to process information because you've wrecked your ability to concentrate and comprehend? https://lighthouse.mq.edu.au/article/january-2024/screen-test-paper-still-wins-in-the-reading-stakes

They are a one-way mirror held up to an abyss. Problem is, we don't know which side of the mirror is facing us.

Republican'ts are truly the most politically obtuse people alive. Only they wouldn't suspect that MAGA (MIGA) is just reheated neoconservatism in limitless thrall to everyone's favorite parasitic, genocidal second-world fake country.

AI will never replace the holy role of being a eunuch for Bezos. I heard they're hiring new ones.

I plan to. This was initially going to be more of a maze as well, but I couldn't source fitting pictures from old books. May get expanded in the future. The channel looks interesting, looking forward to watch some videos from it
