I think after global warming the unholy alliance between capital and big tech is the most disturbing part of modern western society Whether you’re at work or just living your life it’s become impossible to escape. Everything is metrics and numbers and finding new ways to distract and corral people’s behavior Scary! has issued a correction as of 15:46 on Jan 1, 2019 |

Scary! posted:I think after global warming the unholy alliance between capital and big tech is the most disturbing part of modern western society I'm becoming increasingly aware of this (I mean I always knew it, but now I'm starting to really grok it) and it is bumming me out hard. Everyone and everything is trying to sell me poo poo, all the time, in any physical or virtual space I visit. It's exhausting. I feel like I'm in a fucken invisible cage Late capitalism is trash, and my increasing disgust with pretty much everything involved in it is starting to affect everything I do

Scary! posted:I think after global warming the unholy alliance between capital and big tech is the most disturbing part of modern western society The attention economy is a real and very scary thing. Your brain processes experiences with different parts of itself based on what, if anything, is facilitating the experience. If you're using a tool, the experience is handled by a part of your brain that tries to see potentials for personal gains, basically seeing the world in a very short-term, transactional nature. In this scenario, very little emphasis gets placed on emotions or intellectual enrichment. As you can guess, this is the part of your brain that so much of modern technology preys on, and you can see what deleterious effects it can have on both you and society at large if it becomes the primary way we experience the world. Caveat: I'm not a neuroscientist and can't say how much of this is true; I'm pretty much regurgitating what I read in an article earlier this week.

Neither is the person who wrote that article, he's a senior "researcher" at a pseudoscience thinktank with a background in banking analysis and the institutes' website refuses to say what he actually researches there. Mindfulness is just another lifestyle choice and there's a big market in shilling books on how you can improve your life without harming the system that is making your life lovely in the first place.

mindfulness is for the bourgeoisie. works great if you’re focusing on your rad life and free time to make a home cooke dbreakfast and yoga on your roof garden, works less good if you’re trying to be mindful of hour 9 of your 12 hr dishwashing shift

I guess the problem is how else do you deal with the anxiety of living in late capitalist hell, given that it's ubiqutious and inescapable? I mean, obviously developing class consciousness and working to destroy it/eat the rich, but til that happens? It is undeniably a middle class thing, though, and while I'm sure it would be varying shades of useful for different people, it's complete bullshit that only the bourg (of which I am admittedly a part) get access to CBT or whatever it takes to cope with all this shite

Well, you gave the answer already, it exists as one of the ways to stop people from thinking too much about the system itself, eg: to stop people from developing class consciousness.
