@rberger@hachyderm.ioFuture, Civilization & Change
What is dystopia?
What is technology?
What is progress?
What is society?
What is civilization?
It’s all a moving target. What seems like dystopia, seems normal eventually. I was reminded of this when I read a piece by Mahatma Gandhi, originally published in 1909. He was writing about a future now all too present around us. Everything is all about change. Eventually, the future dystopia becomes the new normal now.

He did have quite a good income from his plagiarism-supported career, and I suspect he still has enough money to pay for therapy, but I don't feel sure that's a path he actually would take.

I post a LOT, and most of the time what I say, I guess gets on people's nerves because I'm passionate about certain topics. Sometimes though, I make really meaningful connections (to me) and those people sometimes stop talking to me too and it feels terrible. Like ive lost a close friend cause I'm a piece of shit and said some dumb shit.
That last part is the worst because it's how I've felt my entire life. I almost have no filter, so I say what's in my head and that's not the "polite" and "easy-going" thing to do. I have one friend left in my entire life because friends just drop me when I piss them off accidentally...
