When you consider doing the project, notice what internal language you use. If you find yourself coding something else rather than your prioritized goal, or perusing hackernews instead of coding at all, what do you think to yourself? If you say something like, "shoot, I should be doing such and such instead of this!" or "I'm supposed to be doing this other thing. What's wrong with me?!" You might be creating an internal negative reinforcement that creates an aversion to doing things you have prioritized.
Instead of saying "I should be doing this", instead just say to yourself "I am doing this". I'll eat my own poop if you're not feeling more at ease working on your goals in no time flat.
This could matter if it fell into the wrong hands. It'd be a great trojan delivery mechanism for people unfortunate enough to download and open something from the site.
> Even when you educate them they're so shell shocked by the news that they're willing to let the powers that be shepherd them into servitude. We're all megafucked.
The shell shocked attitude that's followed by complacency is exactly, "We're all megafucked," possibly in other words.
It's exactly that attitude that we need to steer away from, no matter how grim the landscape looks. That's step 1 to change.
Yes! The internet needs more old people posting to it! No society is complete without people of all ages - people of all wisdoms you might say - sharing their knowledge and opinions. Our blogs are noticeably lacking the voice of the elderly, undoubtedly b/c the elderly use the tech less for sure, but it's unfortunate for us. Maybe in 50 years the internet will be a much more temperate place ;)
