“Investigadores analizaron las letras de más de 38.000 canciones y descubrieron que la música popular está perdiendo de forma constante su profundidad emocional. Las letras ahora hablan menos de sentimientos y de conectar con otras personas, mientras que las palabras relacionadas con la ansiedad y el estrés aparecen cada vez con más frecuencia en las canciones que escuchamos hoy.”

Short-form video addiction is linked to rising loneliness and lower life satisfaction.
The quiet toll of endless scrolling.
A striking contrast on the streets of Paris: A couple sits sipping drinks at an outdoor café as flames burn just steps away.
The moment was captured Saturday near the Arc de Triomphe, on the outskirts of rioting that erupted during demonstrations over rising prices, inequality and public spending.
Video shows the pair continuing their conversation as a burning trash bin lights up the background.

If you want to start writing, the greatest thing you can do is block off 1 hour every morning and stick to it. Absolutely no exposure to other opinions or distractions (social media, messages, phone). You need space for creative ideas and modern life is great at taking that from you.

The most radical thing you can do to rebel against this emerging post-literate, brain-slop-world we are entering is read long, complicated books on a daily basis. The ability to pay attention for long periods will be one of the most valuable and rare skills of the future.

Evil detests beauty because beauty is proof of a transcendental order, of objective Goodness and Truth.
To attack beauty is to wage war against the possibility of transcendence.
Beauty is a great affront to nihilism. It testifies to that which is greater than the individual, because to create a beautiful thing is to acknowledge that you are answerable to standards higher than your own. Beauty is often called a great evangelist for this reason.
This is why they outright destroy beauty or try to subvert your perception of it by promoting ugliness or triviality. Beauty is neither neutral nor trivial — your ability to discern the beautiful from the ugly is intimately connected to your capacity to recognize the divine.
Dietrich von Hildebrand once declared that "beauty is the archenemy of mediocrity." Why?
Beauty elevates a person toward truth, goodness, and the divine. The antitheses to beauty drag the soul down into nihilism and worship of the self.

I watched a couple Netflix movies recently- The Whisper Man and Unabomber- and they're so bad. Netflix has a house style now, there's a particular stink all their original movies have. You can see it in the ugly way they're shot, the dumbed down way the stories are told. You can kind of see where at some point there were ideas in these movies that would have been interesting to the people who agreed to make them, and then you can see where they went through a gauntlet of studio notes and reshoots to make them stupid. A few years ago Netflix was throwing money at filmmakers like Scorsese and Fincher because they wanted to win some Oscars to prove that they're a real studio, and Fincher was saying that they were the best place to make movie. That's all over now. Instead what they make is trash for the lowest common denominator to watch on their phones
