Sometimes, civilizations reach a point where the only way out is a reset and starting from scratch.
I fully believe that we are at such an inflection or tipping point.
What needs to happen? We need to transition from cities back to nature - both mentally and physically • From Narcissistic Citi...
From Narcissistic Cities to Psychopathic Metaverse (EXCERPT)
We need to suppress some kinds of pernicious speech, some ideologies (as we do today with fascism, Nazism, white supremacy, and racism). Example: third wave feminism, advertising (Althusser’s interpellation)

Feminism: From Equity to Psychopathy
We need to force people back into families and communities by monetarily penalizing certain asocial and antisocial behaviors.
We need to redesign and reform the workplace by seamlessly integrating it with the community and the home. But it should be obligatory to work with other people face to face. Workplace intrusions into private time should be criminalized. • Workaholism: Addiction...
Workaholism: Addiction or Lifestyle?
We need to ban certain types of immersive technologies (the way we ban cloning, for example).
We need to certify people to use certain kinds of technology the same way we run background checks on people who use guns today.
We need to limit the use of all social media technologies to 2 hours a day.
We need to ban relative positioning practices such as “likes”.
Friends online could be only people you have actually met in real life.
We need to verify the identity of all users and criminalize the use of pseudonyms. Blockchain technology could be of great help here.
We need to educate children regarding sex and its physiological, medical, and mental implications.
Example:
We know that compulsive casual sex and sexting have deleterious outcomes later in life. We need to share this info widely. Sex positivity is a seriously bad idea.
Similarly, we need to inculcate in children the importance and benefits of intimacy and long term relationships.
We need to license parenting. Prospective parents would be required to complete a curriculum in child psychology, relationship management, age-appropriate technology use and so on. • Parenting should be Li...
Parenting should be Licensed!
We need to enforce age-related restrictions on entertainment venues such as nightclubs, the use of alcohol in campuses, and other measures.
Education is a public good. We need to DEprivatize it.
We need to reorient education around the twin concepts of phronetics and eudaimonia - as well as life skilling (including how to manage relationships, for example).
Finally: psychology should become an obligatory subject starting in middle school.
Lifelong self-auditing and journaling should be taught and encouraged as ways to obtain insight and secure introspection.
