The internet is pretty stupid now and needs to be reigned in so our sons and daughters aren’t wide eyed zombies. Most of you won’t agree with me but it’s true and something needs to be done so I laud this.
With the internet I have free MIT lessons, documentaries, debates on Youtube!
I have access to scientific journals.
I can access every book ever written in the world.
The internet is not the issue here. The homepages/fyp on youtube, tiktok, instagram is. Books and the correct asthetic needs to be prioritized.
AND that politicians and the sites WANT age verification because the sites wont have to fix their algo.
The block lists are crazy, even Youtube is blocked. Instead of fixing fyp and promoting non-brainrot content, they rather slap an age gate on it.
there will be at least 1 entire generation of western kids that spectated short form content on screens since the moment of birth. based on aristotle, this entire generation is going to be retarded. the EU legislature in question enables legal spectation of content exchanged by a generation of the retarded. the optimal path forward seems to be ensuring that the next generation is not retarded, otherwise human extinction will be rapidly accelerated. I don't see how corporate destruction of individual privacy is going to help ensure that the next generation is not retarded.
But the western world has been trending down in culture sadly... I was a teen in 2005 and it was grim even then. Everyone wanted to be black for some reason.
For clothes, despite having preppy parents I never adopted it until now. Pinterest is suprisingly good and white european women in their 20s and 30s have not adopted the jeans & hoodie gamer fashion I was so trapped in as a man.
But it has to be discovered and there is a hurdle there. The codes are oxford shirts, pleated trousers/trousers, coats, jackets.
