Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
We started from the point of under-participation of people. That was the problem.
The solution is to wake 95% of people. Compared to 2016 where probably 0.001% of the population was really awake to multiple layers of illusion, today we have a world where every other person I meet is aware that the world has multiple layers of illusions embedded in it. Overall, even if its not 50%, is definitely > 1000x what it was when plan started.
The thing is that majority of the people will fully wake up (even those kinda awake, or going back to nfl/netflix etc) only at the precipice where the heat hits them directly from multiple angles.
As for fatigue - thats uniquely amongst us simply because we have been awake for much longer than most. The rest might still be finding unique fascinating info, but we are mostly in the "waiting for the precipice" stage. It is absolutely natural, and we need to keep telling ourselves that its okay to be fatigued, and its okay to go to nfl and netflix for a while if it helps us recharge, what matters is that you are ready as we reach the precipice, and never ignore people around us who are starting to ask questions.
Fatigues shows that you have been fighting hard in this battle. Even the best of us suffer from it, because we are human.
