Look guys, I find the internet to be a huge distraction from music. I’m ditching phone and internet. I know it seems radical or some shit, but google and the web are a lot like a cult in that once one pillar falls, the whole sham collapses. Google has emails, Google drive, map data, search data, social media data, various forms and did I mention it searches your emails? Since I’ve done away with social media, the whole damn thing sucks. Really. The apps are obtuse and invasive, the correspondence is AI assisted nearly always. It makes me so frustrated to do blog or anything online, I get angry for hours and the music sucks. The internet has got to go.
I am part of the problem as a blogger. I don’t want to be, but as long as I blog, I am.
I have been in so many disagreements where one person’s google says something that caters to their years of information given, and mine says something different. Without fail, the other party takes their information as solid and blames my mental illness for my misinformation. It’s not good for me. It riles me up for days. Regardless of what your google says about bipolar, that’s what it’s like for me. My account and testimony mean nothing against an AI that has been catering to your preferences it’s been stealing for years.
We each live in the world we want to see. I’m taking “online” out of the equation. Cancelling all services and touching grass. I don’t think the internet is a good place anymore and I certainly think google is to be mistrusted and avoided.
Assuming the folks who have been keeping contact will be able to.. I’ve never quit internet before, but I will be sending out a phone number to friends.
I think we are all fucked. But I don’t feel like pretending just so folks don’t get feelings hurt. If you are not a member of reality and you claim to be, perhaps hurt feelings might be okay.
The world is crazy, no sense in me adding to that.
Leave a reply, thanks!
