A.I., Social Media, & A Quiet Life

Sunday morning, 12 days before Halloween, and I’m nestled under a blanket as I sip my first cup of coffee. Microsoft Word keeps pushing me to use A.I. to write my documents and continues to predict what I’m going to write even though I turned that “feature” off. My god…what a world we live in that keeps changing faster than the days move.

I actually had a dream last night where some college students were debating the dangers of the artificial intelligence machine so it’s interesting how this entry popped into my Mind Tool to write to my blog.

I’m not completely against A.I., but I am not living in a state of ecstasy thinking about how many ways I can integrate the machine into my daily life. I only use ChatGPT if I want to do a quick internet search. I basically just use it as a search engine. I write everything in my website myself! I LOVE to write! Love love love writing!

The artificial intelligence revolution we are undergoing and the madness of social media.

It’s been about 9 months since my recent divorce with social media. I wrote about my life without social media already, but the days are speeding up and I’m still very much enjoying my no-social-media existence. You’d have to pay me one million dollars to return to that cesspool.

I can acknowledge one positive aspect of social media as a tool… but that one aspect does not outweigh the hundreds of negative effects.

The more I take trips around the Sun and the more I do my PSI work…the more I realize how humans are so easily swayed to believe this or believe that. Manipulated to React to this and to React to that. Pressured to be like this or to be like that.

Working with people psychically and mediumistically shows me how not one of us are more special than the other. In a sense we are all special since we are threads of the Divine Tapestry. But my goodness, none of us are special.

None of us are removed from experiencing the effects of The Jungle Of Life.

Social media turned the majority of its users into attention seekers, external validation junkies, and basically copy-and-paste androids.

I had social media since I was 14 during MySpace then I went to Facebook then to Instagram. Thank God the beast of Tik Tok was not around in my younger days!

I cannot unsee the various strategies humans are pitted against each other while also have their egos inflate so much that many people believe their opinions about XYZ are absolutely correct and that everyone must listen to their opinions.

Are we headed for Disaster or a Breakthrough? Who knows!

I enjoy living a quiet life that is outside of the Wheel of the “look at me” paradigm. I lost any desire to be up to date on the latest XYZ in the world or any trends. I keep my tin foil hat on because of the work that I do, but I am so far removed from any conspiracy discussion because most of those people are just Reacting without spending the many hours doing research.

In a very fast changing world that is more and more integrated with artificial intelligence and is battling the aftermath of social media….I choose to interact with the internet in ways for it to serve me rather I being used to serve the internet.

A Quiet Life suits me well.
