addendum to emotions

I saw an article this morning addressing social media. It gives instructions for controlling exposure to harmful content. The endless scrolling (feed) is enough to keep me away 😉 Dave

The article summarizes with this:

“Social media is not neutral. Its algorithms are engineered to hold your attention, even when that means amplifying harmful or sensational material. Watching passively only serves the interests of the social media companies. Choosing to protect your attention is a way to reclaim your agency.

“The urge to follow along in real time can be strong, especially during crises. But choosing not to watch every disturbing image is not neglect; it is self-preservation. Looking away protects your ability to act with purpose. When your attention is hijacked, your energy goes into shock and outrage. When your attention is steady, you can choose where to invest it.

“You are not powerless. Every boundary you set – whether it is turning off autoplay, filtering content or curating your feed – is a way of taking control over what enters your mind. These actions are the foundation for being able to connect with others, help people and work for meaningful change.”

On the heels of 9/11, which saw Bldg. 7 collapse into its own footprint on a sunny September day in New York City, on LIVE TELEVISION, at 5 PM, and NOBODY NOTICED, I figure doubling down on humanity’s lack of awareness and overall gullibility from on high sounds just about right.

So…

WE NEVER WENT TO THE MOON

LIKE, NOT A CHANCE IN HELL!!!

I am very willing and happy to accept any challenges to this assertion, before the news cycle kicks in, before Israel bombs the next country on their genocidal list, requiring our attention for the necessary round of ‘understanding’ and virtue-signaling.

In the meantime, here is a great discussion on the WE NEVER WENT TO THE MOON topic:

MEET THE PLANTS FROM THE WG PLANT SALE 9/20, DAY ONE!

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: ketzel.levine@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Here’s the first of several posts I’ll write this week introducing you to some of what we’re offering at the Wonder Garden plant sale, THIS SATURDAY 10-12PM. See you at the garden!

Today’s line up includes: Sphaeralcea ’Newleaze Coral’, Fuchsia hatchbatchii and Felicia ’Tight and Tidy’.

The globe mallow ‘Newleaze Coral’ is, to me, one of the summer jewels of the WG. We’ve had the same plant for six years now and it’s asked only full sun, good drainage and space to do its thing. Nothing, I mean nothing else in the WG has a flower color quite like this particular sphaeralcea selection, a delicious shade of orange-peach-apricot that even the pix below doesn’t quite capture. If you’ve room for this 5’ x 2’ semi-woody perennial that blooms for easily three months, put it on your list.

Felicia ’Tight and Tidy’ puts a smile on everyone’s face when they see it. How else can a sane person response to hundreds of miniature true-blue daisies with bright yellow eyes hovering above shiny tufts of foliage? It makes your heart break for all those Portlanders who can’t get the plant through a winter, but ours keep coming back. The trick is a cozy spot in yummy soil and weekly watering through summer. See it to believe it, as it’s blooming in the WG now.

Fuchsia hatchbachii has an amazingly accurate common name: Climbing Fuchsia. 100% true. Our mature specimen peaked at 8’ after working its way through the branches of an adjacent pine tree. Quite glorious. We’ve since taken the tree out and the fuchsia’s still going straight up, but looks way better with something to climb on. Full sun or part shade, rich soil and weekly watering in its youth for years of easy amazement.

Lots of locals had a Saturday in the sun or at least two hours of it in Nehalem and enjoyed a lively anti-trump, anti-white supremacist, pro-free speech party. Great tunes, discussions and supportive honks and thumbs-up from passing vehicles. Let’s keep the pressure on, don’t let ICE goons attack our neighbors and friends or threaten our courts. Now is the time to fight.

Free Beautiful Pebbles

I have seven medium ziplock bags with a pretty mixture of pebbles in transparent white, light brown, pink and light grey. These would be great for craft projects or lining a tray underneath plants (that’s how I used them). They are clean and remind me of pebbles in the Caribbean. Email me and you can have them. Pick up in Manzanita.

emotions

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: dwieb1@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Having breakfast Friday with local Fox12 on TV in the background there was a story about AI faked pictures of baseball players. Speaking about the influence of AI fakes an expert on AI then says:

“If I can get you thinking emotionally you’re not thinking rationally.”
(David Schweidel, Professor of Marketing & Goizueta Chair in Business Technology – Top AI expert at Emery University Goizueta Business School)

Later I went about researching what he said.

Psychology websites point out emotions and rational thought come from differents parts of the brain and emotions do not lead to irrational thinking.

BUT

The abstract from a study (PMC4050437) documented on the PubMed website starts out:
Recent experimental studies show that emotions can have a significant effect on the way we think, decide, and solve problems. This paper presents a series of four experiments on how emotions affect logical reasoning.

So I guess we can choose what to think about our emotions, but experiments show our emotions can affect how we think. That would explain why scams and con artists play on emotions. Not everybody will take the bait, but enough to make it worthwhile.

I think it’s important to understand how we are getting played so we can be careful. Probably also the reason Fox12 ran the story. It’s become a fact of life, our emotions are inundated by everything from social media to commercials to politicians. Our task if we know someone affected is not to criticize but to be there for them as they process their thoughts.
