And yet none of my friends and family can see this blatantly right in front of them. Have people gotten stupider ? Its as obvious as the sun being hot.
I’m pretty sure that’s a myth, but the analogy is still useful to get the concept across. It simultaneously amuses me and disappoints me that so many humans can be aware of this effect and still not recognise it happening to them, whilst the frogs aren’t actually that stupid and jump out of the water.
Hopefully not coming off as too much of an ass, but normies largely won’t care, as it doesn’t immediately affect them. Knowing it’s a bad thing requires a bit of understanding about an operating system that most people just don’t know or care to learn about.
Right, it’s of no consequence to people who just browse Facebook and do online banking and candy crush and watch TikTok reels. They’re already perfectly happy giving up everything about themselves.
We all start out that way. Not everyone is fortunate enough to grow in an environment that grants them access to education and insights into how tech works.
If you start thinking of others as lesser just because they’re less/uneducated about something then know that someone could be thinking the same of you.

*after you lobotomised the frog first.

It does immediately affect them though
‘Bad’ is just an immediate feeling of aversion to most ‘people’.

They’re just pzombies. Herd animals.bundles of reaction and reflex without consciousness.
