sometimes you have to wonder if continental philosophers are just trolling us

An excerpt from "Non-Things: Upheaval in the Lifeworld" by Byung-Chul Han:
"In the Mickey Mouse cartoons, representations of material reality change over time. In the earlier episodes, things behave treacherously. They take on a life of their own, even a waywardness. They are unpredictable actors. The hero is constantly grappling with them. He is literally thrown around by them, and they take pleasure in tormenting him. It is not at all safe for him to be near them. Doors, chairs, folding beds or vehicles can at any time turn into dangerous objects and traps. Mechanical things are diabolical. There are constant crashes. The hero is exposed to the vagaries of things. They are a permanent source of frustration. The cartoons are entertaining to a large extent because of the villainy of things."

An excerpt from later in the book: "Today, even Mickey Mouse leads a digital, smart and immaterial life. His world is digitalized and informationalized. In the new series Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, the representation of material reality is markedly different from that in the early episodes. Things no longer have an independent life; they are obedient tools for solving problems. Life itself is seen as problem solving. The handling of things no longer involves conflict. Things no longer appear as unruly actors."

Continuing the second excerpt: "For example, when Mickey and his friends end up in a trap, they need only to shout ‘Oh, Tootles’ and the ‘Handy Dandy machine’ appears. The screen of the machine, which looks like a round smartphone, displays a menu of four ‘Mouseketools’, that is, four objects from which they can choose in order to solve the problem. The Handy Dandy machine has a ready solution for every problem. The hero no longer collides with physical reality. He does not have to deal with the resistance of things. In this way, children are fed the idea that there is nothing that cannot be done, that there is a quick solution, an app, for everything and that life itself is nothing but a series of problems to be solved."

this is a big problem even in the netherlands, where the risks of getting hit by a car are much lower

Article excerpt: Over 14,000 cycling accident victims treated at emergency departments last year sustained either mild or severe brain injuries, according to VeiligheidNL. The organization states that wearing a helmet can lower the risk of fatal head trauma by 71 percent and serious head injury by 60 percent in the event of a crash. In response, it has launched a campaign aimed at increasing bicycle helmet use.

Tazo passion tea over ice with coconut milk and maple syrup in a tall glass with a metal spoon. It’s unstirred so the coconut milk creates beautiful swirls.

from an article in Noēma magazine: “All That Is Solid Melts Into Information”

Byung-Chul Han: The inwardly turned, narcissistic ego with purely subjective access to the world is not the cause of social disintegration but the result of a fateful process at the objective level.
Everything that binds and connects is disappearing. There are hardly any shared values or symbols, no common narratives that unite people.
Truth, the provider of meaning and orientation, is also a narrative. We are very well informed, yet somehow we cannot orient ourselves. The informatization of reality leads to its atomization — separated spheres of what is thought to be true.

But truth, unlike information, has a centripetal force that holds society together.
Information, on the other hand, is centrifugal, with very destructive effects on social cohesion. If we want to comprehend what kind of society we are living in, we need to understand the nature of information.
Bits of information provide neither meaning nor orientation. They do not congeal into a narrative. They are purely additive. From a certain point onward, they no longer inform
- they deform. They can even darken the world. This puts them in opposition to truth. Truth illuminates the world, while information lives off the attraction of surprise, pulling us into a permanent frenzy of fleeting moments.
