Might it not be true, that in the 1st world modern era the primary hazard is boredom?

Being that all previous generations before WWII, had faced actual physical hazards far more. yet even in this era and even in the first and second world, which accounts for roughly 1,000,000,000 people–boredom seems to be what I’m trying to avoid most…what causes any kind of drug addiction alcohol or chronic compensational mechanism. this is aside from the fact that at least socially this is the most boring and passive era for the middle class.

Who are your friends??

I just realized why nations will inevitably be replaced not by states even, but by micro tribes and colonies. Why? Think of what we’re doing on Facebook, now ask yourself: who pays attention and reads most of your posts?

How many social revolutions does it take for people to realize it’s not what we do with technology, but the medium, which is the only real message?

The worlds changing. We now really and truly live in a fictional age. Social Media has wrought the same revolution that the printed word, telephone, and Television had before it. Toppling governments like Luther and the Church.
