I thought I would love Facebook but apparently people don't.
My family do not share more than a few holiday pictures.
No one really shared normal likeable lifevents.
WhatsApp groups are totally fine and even showed me how little I care about constant updates from other life's.
And no people also don't care what I do.
People are busy. Family people think about school issues and handling their daily life and planing a family holiday.i care about science and politics. My mother cares about the next hiking tour.
Google+ circle feature was already the technology highpoint of handling social media and no one really had the motivation to setup their circles or even use Google+.
Even sharing specific things is hard. Over or under sharing: I would have loved to see much more of a friend's house building for example.
While it feels like digital is the future, the people around you are. That's something Facebook and co teached me. It's a bad substitute.
Google+ fucked up for a variety of reasons. If you had a Google Apps account, you couldn't sign up at first. You had to have an email address ending in @gmail.com. With that move, Google alienated their most enthusiastic users from the start.
When I finally was able to get a Google+ account with my Google managed email address, it immediately had me following some celebrity and it suggested following other celebrities. I use Facebook for the same reason I use(d) instant message protocols like AIM, MSN, Yahoo!, etc. and now still use Facebook, Discord, Hangouts/gchat/whatevergooglecallsitnow, etc.: To talk to my friends, and to share stuff and organize events with my friends. No interest in using anything Twitter-like. So I didn't. Facebook also has surprisingly good private interest groups, still based around talking to people rather than celebrity/influencer culture.
Or, like forums with off-topic sections. Slow paced, the shared interests are obvious, you can private chat if you want and you can join multiple forums to meet your needs.
This is only my opinion, but I think forums do everything necessary really, with the only difficult things to manage being:
- good moderation
- site maintenance
Which Facebook et al really fail at with the former. I also personally dislike how Discourse attempts to make forums more like chat apps.
specific niche forums foster good communities IMO. I've been on a rocketry forum for about 4 years and it's a very close knit healthy community. There's a forum called "the watering hole" for general off-topic discussion, i'm not there often but it looks to be a good place.
It also helps that the only ads/monetization going on are some banner ads from various rocketry store websites. The forum is run just as a service to the hobby and not to make money.
It isn’t telepathy, modern quantum terminology has it as “teleportation” (hate that word.) the wormholes are in our brains.
If you could reliably hear the thoughts of others a million bucks isn’t your problem, it is the secret power occult society of thought control (who will human sacrifice your children to keep you quite.)
Those skilled in manipulating consciousness (aka “power”) were less guarded in generations before (mastermind theory of MKS and Napoleon Hill discuss how intelligent people explore and identify this phenomena in the past.) I like those stories about the voices alerting people of health crisis. PKD even has one such stories.
Their explanations make more sense if disembodied others are fooling around in our minds, rather than these actually understanding what is happening to themselves. (Of which admit it, we’re terrible at that.)
As we’re talking about our brains being entangled, the voices aren’t hiding in another room, they are a thousand miles away in isolated security. Fewer can manipulate consciousness than those sensitive enough to “hear” it happening.
Notice how many times ”the voices” are mentioned in public shootings. Or “the thoughts won’t stop. HELP ME”. Yeah, “dismissed”. Thanks science.
“Easily dismissed”, is ironic considering it is easier to refuse to believe. That’s incredulity, not science.
Feel free to believe this if you want or if it helps you.
But your simple 'explanaition' of quantum tunneling effects sounds fancy but creates so many more issues that it is as insane as it sounds.
Oh our brain is able to quantum tunnel to people who need help and ignores all other billions of people.
It's not good enough that we can proof it over pure randomness which makes it 100% useless even if this would be a thing but there are probably a 1000 other reasons why we can't use it anymore right?
I'm not sure what you mean 'by the voice' but I do know that our brain is not perfect and there are illnesses out there like schizophrenia.
I also experienced basic Halluzinationen myself due to LSD and just last week when I was only hearing English for the last three weeks on holiday that sometimes my mind though it would understand German sentence from people further away.
Science means that you need to proof it. It's easy to invent something without any proof. Look: I saw God, I'm Jesus and you need to be my follower. Your duty to me is your destiny. Send me all your money.
You don't need proof and you can't even determine if I'm not son of god. Better worship me now.

Feelings and beliefs are the problem.
Truth is not constrained by the horizon of our ignorance. And it is not that Truth is impossible to find, rather that undeceiving the self is difficult.
That there are more issues and that Ultimate Existential Reality is not “sane” is better in support of my arguments pal.
> Oh our brain is able to quantum tunnel to people who need help and ignores all other billions of people.
Here you introduce your crazy sarcasm and you say I cannot be taken seriously.
Those of power are like the anonymous on the interweb. They are trolls and jackasses with a scattering of sentimentalists. Disembodied meddlesome scampuous screwballs “mostly”.
The sentimentalists are plagued by these others as “power parasites” if singled out. This all kept in check through occult power games of extortion.
> It's not good enough that we can proof it over pure randomness which makes it 100% useless even if this would be a thing but there are probably a 1000 other reasons why we can't use it anymore right?
We … use …
You are the food, not the master.
“Pure randomness”
Don’t you mean the inexorable complexity of all things considered? Why didn’t they just levitate? Or teleport themselves? Or walk through the walls? I said mind entanglement, not transmutation of physical laws.
Whatever happens will look exactly as though a consequence of what led up to it. How are you to analyze how these were lined up “for the shot”? Or even described afterwards, as rewriting history is easier than conjuring it.
Consider things from the perspective of how they may have been synchronized through an act of disembodied will. Not God mind you, men indiscernible from god in other men’s minds.
> I'm not sure what you mean 'by the voice' but I do know that our brain is not perfect and there are illnesses out there like schizophrenia.
Yes, quaint. One in six “hear the voices” and it is taboo to acknowledge. It isn’t only [coharent] voices. Many can feel the physicality of others. Some their emotional confusion. It is more like a sickness than a science, really. Competent humans filter and suppress this noise and go on with their functional lives. Some become cult like power heads who you are as unlikely to comprehend as relate to.
> Science means that you need to proof it. It's easy to invent something without any proof.
No, science means you must undeceive yourself to develop a working understand of whatever “it” “is”.
Consider the snail telegraph. Never disproven per say, yet easy to write off as crazy and what dirtbag would duplicate that research?
> Look: I saw God, I'm Jesus and you need to be my follower. Your duty to me is your destiny. Send me all your money.

Well, one might say they see God every time they open their eyes (or open their mind.) is Jesus really Christ Consciousness, and may Man be her embodiment? Didn’t the big J say “are we not all the sons[children] of God?” Do send me your money, I would set you upon a spiritual path (lean living, and an inconvenient, uncomfortable, contemplative existence).
Lots of thought we have is grown and more like a self discovery along your own path.
Generic concepts, which have been thought of by plenty of others are easier to grasp.
Like I thought about things until my sister gave me the word for it: nihilist.
Understanding nihilim is still different than coming to the conclusion of nihilism.
But plenty of other people draw their lines somewhere else. They don't follow philosophy because it's just not important for them.
Or they made their peace long ago.
Your example with creativity doesn't fit my world of nihilism at all (I wouldn't down vote it).
So we are not aligned at all. And you / we are probably not aligned with lots of others on spiritual concepts.
Im thinking about something similar to creativity: we are now so many people with fast interconnection in between us (internet, video) and the general though of something new that it's just a logical consequences that we need to explore all boundaries around us.
I also have plenty of counter examples which did not gave a reward for being creative from 'the universe's.
Being an artist is not easy.
Your thshirt example is also more realted to capitalism. The original motivation is getting money for food.
Those systems / constructs are not made by the universe they are made by us. Those are our constructs.
We reward creativity due to the desire for new stimula.
This goes more into machine learning or game theory: how to train a network to create an image? By creating a counter network checking if something is not an image.
