Good Idea: Join us for #Unplugust
https://masonyarbrough.substack.com/p/engineered-addictions
Social media isn’t just a harmless time-filler! It’s built to keep you hooked. The infinite scroll, the dopamine hits, the notifications timed to spike your stress?
All of it is designed to maximize your time on the app, not your wellbeing. And no, it’s not about lacking willpower, these platforms are engineered like digital slot machines, built to exploit your attention. You don’t have to quit the internet, but you can stop letting it use you. One powerful step is to take intentional breaks and reconnect with life offline.
That’s why we’re inviting you to join the Ministry for #Unplugust:
Where we are going fully AFK (away from keyboard) for the entire month of August. No doomscrolling, no feeds, just space to reset, reflect, and reconnect with what actually matters.
Reclaim your time. Reclaim your mind. Join us.

Dalai Lama says he will be reincarnated, Trust will identify successor
The elderly Dalai Lama assured his followers on Wednesday that upon his death he would be reincarnated as the next spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism and spelt out a succession process that sets up a renewed clash with China.
The eagerly awaited statement, made days before the frail Nobel peace laureate turns 90, puts to rest speculation, started by the Dalai Lama himself, that he may be the last of Tibet's spiritual leaders, ending a line that stretches back centuries. read more

Being neutral has been placed on this pedestal as peak maturity when neutrality only even benefits the oppressor.
Being neutral has never helped the victim. You just end up being a coward watching harmful shit play out.
