i hate this new world

‪there are all sorts of things that can terrify you about genz/gen-alpha but one that bothers me is people growing up in a world where one is accustomed to not owning things, does not know what owning things means, where having the agency to do both good and evil is a radical idea‬

and i must sound so boomer about all this but really it all came down to something as simple as them taking away my goddamn super monkey ball game. surely even the most cloudpilled digital native can understand why losing access to childhood media is inherently upsetting

‪i feel like i start to understand why the framers of the us constitution put the first and second amendments in there. as a european i will probably never be fully comfortable with the second one and it has had obvious bad outcomes. but they still had a fucking point, you know‬

in other words, adam and eve eating the forbidden fruit was the correct choice

‪if someone wants to download fucking vorophilia pornography games onto their device that should be their god-given right as a human being, if you ask me, whatever i may think of such software. there's this deep technopuritanism of our times that makes me want to stab things‬

i fucking hate the Christian God with every fibre of our being but He is a more merciful master than fucking Steve Jobs! i can at least be a fucking [series of exotic slurs] in this lifetime, i can do Evil, i have the right to do what i want before my supposed eternal damnation

‪apple's pretensions of being invested in creatives ring so fundamentally fucking hollow and cynical when they do not think software is deserving of creative dignity‬

‪a higher angel appears before god to present a new creation: a human being. an incredibly powerful thing, with its own inner world‬

‪god is about to congratulate the angel on this, but is interrupted‬

‪“look, i've lobotomised him! he can only do good!”‬

‪this is about the ipad pro‬

LOL, God most definitely did not create the iPad Pro. ;)

I do kind of wonder about that set of tablets that got smashed by Noah when enraged about the golden calf? If I had to hazard a guess, they had more than 10 Commandments scrawled onto them.

(more from a histrionics perspective that is. I think it was KRS-One who mentioned something about Egyptians having something similar to 42 Commandments? IMHO, God or whatever was trying desperately to "dumb it down" for folks who were clearly too stupid to follow that many rules. Alas, human still can't even seem to follow 10. How many murders are committed still?)
