The Master Life 'Hack' to Solve All Problems
Developing psychology & exerting willpower to not eat a pantry full of your favorite snacks
or
Not having those temptations in the house
Many 'solutions' being presented to people don't work
Designed to cope with the problem instead of resolving it
You can't resolve or remove the darkness
You can only add more light
Recent viral obsessions with 'healing', 'being stoic', 'mental models & psychology'
They all serve their place AFTER the root has been handled
Before adding 'hacks', remove things causing conflict
If a person fears confrontation & is not assertive
Techniques & thinking offer some support, but the real question is
Why is this the default behavior?
All solutions are merely Band-Aids to mask & cope with the symptoms
In reality the real root of his fear of asserting himself & confrontation may likely be:
These max-out the bandwidth available for discomfort,
Therefore there is no more available room to take on additional discomfort (confrontation/assertiveness)
Which further maxes out the bandwidth for uncertainty tolerance & discomfort tolerance
So again we can ask
What is more effective?
OR
- Fixing the chemical stress
- Developing physical strength
- Getting on top of his finances
To actually BE more certain, confident, and assertive
Due to having bandwidth available for discomfort/uncertainty tolerance
But it's something you must do consciously & constantly
Like always remembering to stand up straight for good posture
vs developing muscles/flexibility to have good posture as your default
without 'doing' anything
Instead of applying a technique or 'hack' to compensate for something
Resolve the deficiency itself which then makes your default expression the optimal one
They share many great points which help people
However, pretty much everything shared articulates qualities expressed on how you would act
IF the root issue was not there
Instead of having to do techniques or consciously calculate how to not look needy
....actually develop a life in which you got other sht going on
Multiple sources of good emotions
Multiple emotions for fun & excitement
Important tasks keeping you busy

There are lots of problems with ad-tech:
* being spied on all the time means that the people of the 21st century are less able to be their authentic selves;
* any data that is collected and retained will eventually breach, creating untold harms;
1/
* data-collection enables for discriminatory business practices ("digital redlining");
* the huge, tangled hairball of adtech companies siphons lots (maybe even most) of the money that should go creators and media orgs; and
2/
* anti-adblock demands browsers and devices that thwart their owners' wishes, a capability that can be exploited for even more nefarious purposes;
That's all terrible, but it's also IRONIC, since it appears that, in addition to everything else, ad-tech is a fraud, a bezzle.

Bezzle was John Kenneth Galbraith's term for "the magic interval when a confidence trickster knows he has the money he has appropriated but the victim does not yet understand that he has lost it." That is, a rotten log that has yet to be turned over.

Bezzles unwind slowly, then all at once. We've had some important peeks under ad-tech's rotten log, and they're increasing in both intensity and velocity. If you follow @Chronotope, you've had a front-row seat to the

The numbers are all fking fake, the metrics are bullshit, the agencies responsible for enforcing good practices are knowing bullshiters enforcing and profiting off all the fake numbers and none of the models make sense at scale of actual human users. https://t.co/sfmdrxGBNJ pic.twitter.com/thvicDEL29

The new tactics to implement the #CancelCulture are quite ingenious. They are not going after what they want cancelled directly, they are going after how it gets to you! It’s attacking the free market, and it’s harder to spot and harder to fight before it’s done! Read on!
1/
Here’s an example. If there’s a challenge to the normal Social Media platforms, then they aren’t wasting time going after the new app, they are making the app unavailable well more difficult to get. This puts people off from going to the trouble or switching.
2/
They are going to do this in a way you won’t see it coming. They are going to stop it before the source.
Soon, the media is going to be a complete left wing echo-chamber. Social Media, TV and Papers all left wing and you don’t get to say “what about free speech?”
3/
Why? Because they aren’t playing against free speech. They are going after the free market. This also gives you an idea what socialism can and will do.
I don’t expect my account to last long now I’m watching this and exposing it! Please share, stand your ground and don’t quit!
Here’s the proof that CNN are trying to get Fox cancelled at the broadcast level, stop it getting into people’s homes by getting the TV providers to ban it. Again, targeted before what we see as the source. This is also the groundwork for any
