      From empowering harassers to swinging elections, it's an afterthought that they absolutely 100% do not want to deal with, especially coming from their specific brand of libertarian tech bro thinking. They'd rather just keep encroaching.

      Take the simple version of what twitter has been doing. They realized Twitter wasn't growing as fast recently and people weren't following new people. Their solution?

      Show you tweets that other people have liked / people who you do not follow. So that you will click on the new people and follow them and drive more engagement... This is 100% immoral to me.

      It is putting things / people you categorically do not want to see, directly in front of you. It is direct encroachment. And it is double unconscionable not to have an option to say "don't do this." Instead you simply get to say "I dont like this tweet."

      Which is actually a general blanket statement that ties into their algorithm that doesn't stop the encroaching tweets, but punish you by putting less of the people you love into your feed. Meaning? it is directly forcing your hand / acceptance of the feature.

      This is all on purpose. They need you to accept the changes / notifications / disruption. Again, there's a reason settings re-set with every update. There's a reason they want me to take phone calls on my fucking computer (for me, a sin against nature).

      And they make a pile of work for you to change it to give the illusion of choice, when really, it would be mighty kind if you just slowly get used to the life of constant disruption.

      Then what's funny is how people who attack the notion of disruption are largely regarded as luddites. Which I get. But I'm not having an argument of how switching from coal to solar is unfair to workers. I'm talking about intended purpose & effect.

      Because the intention of disruption is dogshit and the result has got us catatonic. This feeling and effect of constant disruption is talked about beautifully in the book "present shock" because the horrifying effect is constant dissonance.

      We know this. We know how paralyzing the news is now when 9 horrible stories can hit as once and we barely have space to process them. We KNOW it's bad.

      So the simplest question remains: why are we still choosing all this? We know the tech bros ain't gonna change. But for us, it's a part humanity's monstrous appetite for convenience, along with the inconvenience of doing the work to stop it. But then there's the deeper reason...

          Anyone who goes to take a poop without their phone these days will suddenly realize the shocking reality of not being engaged and just having to sit and think.

          Sure we sometimes had magazines, but it's a simple action we have had to do so many times before with the stark change now staring us in the face. It is the terror of being alone with our own thoughts.

          I do not evoke this from a place of judgement. It is a place I know far too fucking well. My thoughts can cycle through and haunt me. We are ALL facing this. But we all know that the bigger price comes in constantly running away.

          Which brings the metaphor full circle: we choose disruption because the alternative is simply being with pain. And we hope the next disruption is a joyful antidote to that pain.

          And it all coils into an infinitely closing loop, moving faster and faster, until a singular state of paralysis, ever eating it up, ever consuming the product.

          I don't have a solution... for I am perpetually disrupted.
