Somewhat related is the concept of ontological shock. Most recently saw a post on Reddit about it, linked below. I can relate to the idea of my brain building a running narrative of how the world works, and fitting information into that framework on the fly. When I come across things that don’t fit into that framework it’s easy to dismiss the information and run towards people that share that worldview. Ontological shock happens when you reexamine the core of your worldview based on irrefutable new information, and realize that your existing framework of predicting and understanding things in the world no longer works. Facsinating stuff, and it truly shows that we can absolutely be living in completely different realities than our neighbours.

I am in stubborn opposition to the official app. That is the biggest thing that will drive my usage of Lemmy.
Most of my future redditing will be much more deliberate time on my laptop browsing specific subs rather than scrolling the front-page on my phone.
Trying to understand - is this making fun of stoicism?
