We can complain about that, or we can listen up and “Expand our thinking”.


It’s gotten to the point (for me) that if something’s not in article form, I mostly pass it by. I lack unlimited free time, and videos, even sped-up, are very time consuming. (Can’t listen “in the background”, as real life is mostly lived outside of this room where my PC is.)

Feedback is similar from those in my circle with whom I text every day. I send them links to loads of stuff I find on these threads. They’re far more likely to absorb content if it’s something they can read. Videos, even short ones, get put on the back burner, and in the fast flow of life, “for later” gets “for-gotten”.

Don’t know why I replied. But I actually do envy those who can spend so much time in the rabbit holes, availing themselves of all manner of input. I just cannot.

Which reminds me, I need to delete several hundred browser tabs taking up space (mostly unwatched videos that are quite stale by now).

I rarely watch videos. Majic Eyes Qnly is one of the few.

I do not read “interpretations/thoughts” from people who have no special information yet hint that they do. I do read sources that use open source info to present and draw informed conclusions. Life is short, each day is short.

And the nature of the mind is that it captures everything fed into it, and will play back bits and pieces even if you don’t want it to, creating unwarranted fears, worries, etc. People often pay more attention to what they eat than what they read or watch, a big mistake!

There is junk food, and there are junk words and junk content that we can see, read and hear. Discernment is essential.

Everyone has to make their own decisions in this regard of course, and Q said more than a few times “Think for yourself”.
