We don’t have any sanctuary for our thoughts.

We’re constantly bombarded by distraction and entertainment. This is called “programmed time,” and it’s when you’re being programmed by something. TV scheduling is even called programming. Very skilled people can use music cues, visuals, dialog, acting, and story to decide how their audience will feel while watching a movie. This is great. I love movies, TV and other media, but if 100% of your waking time is spent being entertained or distracted, then when do you have an opportunity to have your own thoughts and feelings?

Turn off to activate is a reminder to schedule in some unprogrammed time into your day. To read, listen, or watch more about this, check out https://corykerr.substack.com/p/turn-off-to-activate

Resist Programming is about being aware of the inherent biases of the communication we consume. For example, very few of us are aware of how much time we are actually on social media or how many times a day the apps on our phones draw us back in with notifications. We are the dog in Pavlov’s experiment and we instinctively react to every bell, buzz and boing without thinking. I recommend turning your notifications off so that you choose to engage with your apps rather than your apps choosing to engage you.

Arguably, one of the coolest amendments. Free speech, freedom of the press, freedom to protest and assemble, and freedom of religion. The first amendment protects protestors, writers, artists, journalists, and ensures that there are no state religions.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Please read things, we're getting dumber. It is a real possibility that we reach a critical mass of stupidity and can't sustain a functioning society. Anyway, this illustration is about reading and the very real possibility of a societal collapse due to the loss of general intelligence as we become uninterested in more difficult types of thinking.

This one is about the distracting things we feel drawn to do instead of the deeply human and important things we should do to live a fulfilling life. Numbing behavior is any activity that we engage in to avoid doing the things we feel called to do. It isn’t the behavior itself, but the motivation behind the behavior that’s the problem.

Here is my rendition of the Scorpion and the Frog. I think it's applicable to a lot of situations like voting for politicians that hate you, victims trusting abusers, or people helping tech billionaires build things that are detrimental to society (like twitter, tiktok, and instagram for example)...
