paradigm shift

i just did something new

i commented on a tim senesi yoga video where he had a thumbnail of himself cringing @ and judging you and with the words "you're doing this wrong" and said that i think he's otherwise a splendid force in the world but that it's essentially beneath him to clickbait and say things that feed on anxiety and fear. i asked him if he would be so kind as to change it...

i don't know how he will take it ; i prefaced it with the truth, which is that i love his videos, and i followed it with another truth, which is that i only say this because i think he's otherwise splendid

i don't know what he will say

but i like what i did...

instead cowardly whining about people, i communicated. and i don't think i did it in a way that is all too hurtful (i hope)

maybe he will be afraid and think: but if i change it i won't get as many views

or he will think: she is right

i hope he thinks i'm right because i am

i know what i'm seeing: a society of people predating on each other's fears and insecurities so as to get their money and attention

it's beneath us as a human race, we can be better.
