  • The connection between attention and economic value has been around for a long time. It didn’t come about by YouTube creators. The headlines sells papers. Commercials sells products. Titles sell views.

    The problem is that there is no punishment for falsehoods, you can say that you have the first, the biggest, the most, the craziest and it doesn’t need to have any bearing on reality. While in other media there are often some safeguards, code of conducts, or whatever. Since most other media has competitors, keeping eachother somewhat honest or straight up have an oversight committe. While platforms like TikTok, YouTube, etc. are exploiting content creators and care only about their short term growth. There will constantly be a stream of new content creators who will have to compete for views on the same platform, with the same algorithms.









  • They are not mostly sugar, sugars are just a part of the nutrients. Most fruits don’t even have that much sugar in them, it varies wildly though. There is also the way these sugars are intertwined with fiber, that make it much harder for these sugars to be processed in your body. So the sugars are released over a greater period of time giving your body more time to react. as opposed to refined sugars. Fruits are always healthier than candy, cookies, or soda.

    There is a lot more in fruits than just sugars, there are proteins, vitamins, minerals, fibers. Which are all necessary for a healthy body. Sugars as well are necessary for your body to function.

    It is practically impossible, if you’re otherwise healthy, to eat too much fruit. I personally eat at the very least 3 kilos or 5 pounds of various fruits a week. within an otherwise varied (vegan) diet. I’ve done so for the past 10 years. I make sure to test my blood, and so far had zero issues except low vit. d. Which you can’t get from fruit.

    Why is it healthy? Well, we evolved next to fruits. Our ancestors always plucked and eaten them for millions of years. Just like we’ve done with all kinds of plants. Our gi tract is the right length, our body cant make most vitamins itself and completely functions on sugars. Fruit is part of a varied diet.






  • Okay so mine is so old i can’t really put a finger on where i got it from…It’s a piece of electronic music with a music video that included an Inuit fishing. It must have been from around '97 but could be anywhere in the nineties. In my recollection it was a single on cdrom from The Chemical Brothers. That never yielded any results for me. The second recollection was that it came from a cdrom that accompanied an exhibition on electronic art. Also never yielded any results for me. So, somewhere in my recollection is a couple of electronic notes and an Inuit in the music video. Ive given up searching for it, even though i tried many many times over the years.


  • The reason is because those texts are much older, and that was the style of religion practiced back then. Most God stories and stories about Gods in that period were like it. Most city states and tribal states had their own Gods that reflected them, and conflicts were gravely exaggerated. Also literally everything that happened in that state were an attribute or reflection of that particular God. With stories of how that attribute came to be, which reflected back in the people and in that way religion was a complex social interaction.

    The people who wrote the stories we now know as the old Testament didnt write them as a part of a bible. These were stories of people who were taken out of their states and captured. Forced to live outside their land, but they took their God with them. Who became this omnipresent God that would lead people back to a promised land. Including all the complex social interaction people had with their mostly oral religious stories and traditions.

    And it’s the continued tradition that lead to the formation of religious scholarship and the idea that Gods could be of the earth and not just of a state. Which brought about new thoughts, new traditions, new religious complexity written down in the New Testament. Which lead to the desire to make religious books encapsulating all of religious thought.

    And only much later came literalism, the mistake to take everything in the Bible literal. which sparked the formation of atheism as we know it today.
