I used to dismiss https://www.ingersolllockwood.com/ but now I think it could be hugely important.
Used to think "it's all part of the show" was exaggerated and silly, but now I find myself wondering if white hats have their hand in nearly every major news story.
Going the other way...
I'm embarrassed to admit I followed Lin Wood during the first part of 2021. Now certain he's a fraud.
Until late last year I was convinced the military was about to roll in anytime a big story broke. Now I see that sort of thinking as counterproductive hopium that leads only to chronic letdown and fatigue.
If this thread catches on I'll come up with more.
I used to avidly follow the news headlines as if it meant anything. Now, I can barely stomach it. Even here, it seems pointless. I largely come here for the interpersonal posts ("My father just woke up", "My sister was a lib and now she's maga", "My triple jabbed aunt just died", etc).
I don't really believe anything we see or hear about anymore.
I've been taking breaks because this was consuming so much of my life it was affecting my physical health even. I needed to get back in the gym and lower my stress levels, listening to political podcasts all day long was not helping my focus during workouts.
I also feel like I got so far ahead of the curve that I keep outgrowing those podcasts and livestreams, hearing someone else doombitching about stories I already knew about days earlier had gotten old. Those shows are for those still waking up as far as I'm concerned I don't even tune into Salty Cracker as often this past month.
I miss salty, but I just can't care anymore. For a while I never missed anything he did. That time eventually passed.
Been that way with many people over the years.
Same, used to love Salty. Now only check a couple times a year it seems.
Sigh, this is so true. I feel like I could totally take a year off at LEAST
I've got some friends who are thankfully waking up but it's hard to hide my fatigue when they send me some "news" that I told them about a year or two ago. They also haven't learned how to turn off anon mode when appropriate, like dude I invited you over for a game session to relax I don't want to discuss this stuff for at least a few hours.
You me same
Very much can relate to your comments on this.
When it comes to outgrowing podcasts and shows, I'm always delighted to find my "next step up." I don't regret the time I spent listening to things after I've moved on from them. They served a purpose for me during that part of my awakening.
I'd caution anyone against getting stuck on a single podcast / influencer. There are so many excellent POVs out there and no one person has all the answers.
I can relate to your comment...I am over the news...good news...bad news...what's the difference...actually the Babylon Bee is the most entertaining news stories IMHO. I do try to keep up on the medical front so I am prepared for anything and everything...I truly have learned so much and for that I am grateful...I have met a lot of wonderful people and for that I am also grateful...
But my job now is to encourage and uplift to the best of my ability...maybe share a laugh, a song, a scripture...or even just listen...like many...this is my go to site for news and learning, as well as for friendships...if I can help someone out or make a difference in someone's day with a kind word...then I consider it time well spent...
"to everything, there is a season"
I have been fighting battles since the 70's...I am in the winter of my life and hopefully there is a place for me in this war...just not on the front lines...😊...The Battle Belongs to the Lord...
I really love the red pill success stories, or when people tell us what it was that made them open their eyes. For me it was Sandy Hook.
Sounds like me.
