Stupid idea

I’m a zoomer and I’ve probably got ADHD, and I’ve read my share of theory, but I understand why it’s hard for some people. Would it be a good idea to intertwine music with political education? I like genres that try to fill my insatiable appetite for stimulation like [nu-metal](https://youtu.be/m4L20t8Dvlg), [hyper](https://youtu.be/Lojx82Etjl0)-[pop](https://youtu.be/CPWxExGk7PM) and [phonk](https://youtu.be/w-sQRS-Lc9k). I feel like a lot of overtly political music can come off as cheesy and not one’s kind of music, so it might appeal to some people to incorporate other genres. Might it keep people’s attention more to say have nightcore Engels? What if we just put some bass and distorted guitar under an audiobook. If people don’t have the attention span for that maybe a phonk beat for a banger quote? Would anyone else be interested in working on this or see value in it? I currently lack the hardware and skill, but I could learn.

Any good psychology books?

Maybe with some Marxism, I know Dialectical Behavioral Therapy is a thing. Either way, mental illness is my current fixation, and I’ll read anything half decent on the topic. Maybe not too long idk (I’m not planning to go through the DSM). Free pdfs or audiobooks appreciated.

Opinion on Carl Jung?

All I remember is he comes after Freud, some of his followers are annoying, there’s a Marxist podcast that likes him called ‘the return of the repressed,’ and I don’t think Lukacs liked him.

I got a keyboard

I reluctantly took lessons when I was little. I still remember stuff like C scale and for the most part how to read sheet music. Any advice for picking it up again? I mostly want to play rock music on my own.

Is it worth purging online stuff?

I have way too many photos (9.9k), mostly memes, mostly which I will never see again. I have way too many musical artists in my library. For a long time I added practically every song I heard (and more albums from the same artists). All of this is on Apple. Is it worth going through and purging it (especially when the [internet’s dying anyway ](https://samkriss.substack.com/p/the-internet-is-already-over?triedRedirect=true)and who knows what infrastructure we’ll have in five years or more)? Any advice for de-appleing for someone whose hyperfixations do not include computer nerd stuff?

Why does this comm exist?

It’s basically just ask lemmygrad but specifically for a smaller category of vague questions. Does it serve enough of a purpose or should remove it like the various precursors to Shit Reactionaries say (note this comm is newer than AL).

Is cannabis the best thing ever?

I’m reading ‘The Emperor Has No Clothes’ and that’s what it sounds like. Hemp is the best thing for making textiles and plastic and paper; It’s better medicine for a ton of things than most pharmaceutical drugs; Its seeds are one of the best foods; and it grows fast anywhere. It’s an old book and I haven’t checked the many sources, but is it all true? I know you can get psychologically dependent on smoking weed, and I suppose it could go invasive (though people could just use it when it does), but I’ve only eaten the seeds - is there any other caveats? Why don’t I see more about China and Russia using it? Is it possible to try to grow in a city in the US (guerrilla gardening?)? Also, I’m wondering if edibles or whatever make it worse. I know there are environmental problems with growing it indoors for THC. Edit: I forgot to mention the reason why we’re not using it is because the industries that would be taken over by it (plastics, pharma, etc) got the government to ban it under racist pretenses.

Ereader suggestions?

Almost a year ago I bought a pocketbook with buttons. It served me pretty well for the constant bugginess. Then a few weeks ago it froze and I tried everything I could think of to get it to work. Days later my damn cat peed on it to spite my other cat. The company won’t reply to my emails. I’ve given up on it, but it would be nice to have an ereader again because of the books I started and don’t feel like reading on my phone or computer. I could just buy something off AliExpress, but I want some advice first. Any recommendations?

Capitalists don’t care if we burn

I took it out of the meme to avoid seeming cluttered, but I must mention that they don’t just want USian corporations to have the monopoly. Renewables are at odds with capitalism and capitalists know oil is more lucrative than less labor intensive alternatives. Ted Reese makes a strong explanation for the lack of adoption of hemp and solar in [SoE](https://lemmygrad.ml/post/3315415).

Opinion on Buteyko?

I saw someone on hexbear mention it a while ago, and went on my own research rabbit hole. It seems pretty cool, and I believe it could cure diseases and increase health in general, it’s just hard. The jist is a Soviet doctor named Buteyko realized breathing less and increasing CO2 in one’s body can greatly improve health. His method is to do lots of breath exercises, stay active, and eat healthily. I’ve been doing 15 minutes of exercises everyday for a few weeks, but it’s slow, and my control pause is a terrible 9 (probably part of why I’m always tired. Fuck school for making me wake up at an unnatural time and making me sit so long). The people around me irl that I’ve mentioned it to seem to think it’s too hard or a waste of time. For better or worse, I’m also a modernist, believing in human “perfectibility” with the right conditions and influences. https://www.reddit.com/r/buteyko/comments/c8px11/start_here_intro_faq_of_rbuteyko/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Meditation/comments/fjh47l/a_buddhist_monks_experience_with_buteyko/ What do you think?
