The Brainrot Apocalypse (a DIY survival guide)

We're not cooked... but we're definitely getting slowcooked

This is a video about the Gradual Disempowerment of humanity, as a result of overreliance on AI. It's also a guide to implimenting some simple but (in my opinion) effective solutions.

*varying degrees of falsifiability - some books will be mostly bullshit, but there’s some really interesting stuff here too that is worth thinking about. I don’t want this to come across as a critique of alternative ideas or an obedience to “official narrative” dogma: I wholeheartedly encourage everyone to debunk falsifiable mainstream explanations of reality too.
