Why do we like being fooled by magicians? Why do we like being fooled by some branding or propaganda? It is our nature, you realized that. Now how do you not suffer internally with that fact? How can you turn this knowledge into wisdom? By using it for good

Reality is unfathomably complex. We can use our pre frontal cortex and think everything critically or we can learn patterns that are good enough.

Why is white sinonimous with purity and peace? Why we can have a somewhat coherent consensus on beauty? Why rockstars fabricate ludicrous stories to be seen as bad boys?

Telling an archetypical story impresses and dazzles other people. Again, reality is too complex.

What I have been learning to do, since I struggled with what you are asking a lot. How can I have substance and at the same time tell a compelling story?

Any recommendations for making a free or low-cost wiki for personal projects? (NOT Fandom though) in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Noob question. Isn't a wiki text, images and hiperlinks? Why not just use html for it?

I prefer not knowing anything beyond the title, poster, and rating of a movie before going to see it in c/unpopularopinion@lemmy.world

Yeah I am getting more and more acquainted with that idea. Growing up I used to see reviews and lists of must watch cinema and was grateful for it. It made me learn about the art and what I like or dislike. Now I am feeling comfortable with my own taste and know about directors, themes, plots, etc... that I like.
Watching trailers or lists nowadays makes me conflicted because it feels like I am being sold a product I wont like!

What is your favorite movie of all time? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

That whole scene is so well made. The music, cinematography and plot all culminate in that beautiful but still twisted moment. Brilliant!

I'm thinking of building a PC - any advice? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

The latest beginner guide from LTT is really good. So good that I was somewhat baffled. Whoever did the script for that episode deserves a raise. It is information packed but beginner friendly and has plenty of infographic detailing stuff.

Why do people like crt shaders in the retroarch community. There's so many videos about it. Is it a product of their time or are non-crt experiencers doing it? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

[–] kinship@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 month ago

I did use CRT TVs and monitors, but only when very young. Man you just made me revisit a part of my brain long dormant! I loved the sweet static discharge as well, it was so f*ing rad!

Have no idea why 1917 was less commented than Dunkirk. The former is a masterpiece and the latter is just bad
