Ancient wisdom often sounds like common sense now that it is commomly taught. What is some ancient wisdom that we no longer teach because it was wrong?

I’m not gonna scroll through instagram until that advertisement shows up again.

You’re free to move here in scroll senselessly to get the ad again.

I’m sorry, but are you getting your information on the effects of car detergent on the environment from an advertisement!?!?

Remember when those dish detergent ads were washing oil off birds? THOSE BIRDS STILL DIED ANYWAYS

An advertisement from the official government thing over here. It’s the governments own official website.

Stop freaking out over some dude online you’ll never meet irl.

Collect yourself and go offline for the day, maybe try to relax for a bit and breathe some outdoor air. Have a conversation with a neighbour or local shopkeep.

Another one.

Go outside, have some real human interaction and learn to get over yourself.

Log off for a couple weeks and see if you can become a real human boy once more.
