  • The way I think of it is my brain is a bit too busy to focus just on the text. I need to distract my motor brain, my visual brain and my repetitive tasks brain. Then my audio and informational brain can do their job without getting distracted. When I try to just listen or read the text my motor brain is sitting there idling and I have to keep using some attention to keep the breaks on or it will spin off into a ditch.

    A interesting trick I have also found is reading in the bath. Something about being in the water makes my motor brain go into a dormancy mode where it doesn’t interrupt.

  • Pretty sure it isn’t trump that wants a market crash but the people who drive him do. The Malthusian/eugenic trend in the ruling class is pretty strong and I get the feeling they are going for a world wide human mass casualty event to “wipe the slate clean.” Of course that is a idealist and ignorant conception of what will happen but the ruling class aren’t half as smart as they think they are.

  • No. that sounds like an accelerationist idea. The bourgeoisie will do austerity on their own we don’t need to waste our effort helping them. Our job is raising class consciousness to match their immiseration of the working classes and we are not keeping pace as is.

    Should we fight to keep welfare systems in place? not really. We should speak out against its destruction as a symptomatic part of the capitalist plan to strip workers of all right to a decent life. We should join movements fighting to save welfare systems in order to raise class consciousness by highlighting the systemic nature of their fight. Exposing the bigger picture makes people more revolutionary.
