Anxietate climatică. Veşti bune

Teoria Țapului ispăşitor   https://antipresa.blogspot.com/2024/06/teoria-tapului-ispasitor.html


Aţi dat drumul la televizor? Bravo! Uite acum mă duc la tablă, să vă vorbesc despre inteligenţa artificială. Ȋmi place să le spun celor mai deştepţi ca mine că o unitate de calculator va fi mai inteligentă decȋt inteligenţa umană. Să vedem atunci cine se mai dă mare. Eu m-am pus bine, deja, cu Inteligenta Sofia.

Iar acum, să vă dau şi-o veste bună: 39% dintre tineri nu vor să aibă copii, pe fondul anxietăţii faţă de schimbările climatice. Asta ȋnseamnă că, inclusiv războiul din Ucraina s-ar putea ȋncheia mai devreme. Poate nu ştiaţi dar, războaiele se-ntȋmplă din cauza schimbărilor climatice şi nu invers, pentru că ȋncălzirea globală determină diminuarea resurselor. E un curs care se predă acum, ȋn special, tinerilor cu dezordini din spectrul anxios.

Deci, ȋn curȋnd nu va mai avea cine să plimbe căţei. Dar se reduce amprenta de carbon. Ȋntre timp…


A apărut, din nou, un monolit ȋn deşert, ȋn Nevada. Ar trebui să ne fie frică? O fi de origine extraterestră? Că nu e decȋt al o sutălea, probabil.

Ce spun specialiştii?

5 motive să nu-ţi fie frică de extratereştri. Care ar fi cel mai mare pericol? Teoreticienii spun c-ar putea fi deja aici. De ce nu ne-au contactat ȋncă, posibile motive. Anxietatea extraterestră: ȋn 2020, 1 in 5 adulţi britanici se temea că marţienii vor invada Pămȋntul ȋn următorii 50 de ani.

Citeşti toate astea şi-ţi mai faci un test de inteligenţă. Cȋt ȋţi mai dă voie A.I. E plin internetul de click aici, s-ar putea să ai un IQ mai mare de 130.   

Asta te-ar putea ȋncuraja să baţi titluri ȋn lung şi-n lat şi să străbaţi ȋntreg spectrul anxios. Spre deosebire de alte afecţiuni mentale, anxietatea este una determinată cultural.

Drept dovadă, trei sferturi dintre rezidenţii ţărilor cu economiile cele mai avansate cred că schimbările climatice le vor crea suferinţă, mai devreme sau mai tȋrziu.

La asta se adaugă ceva nou: frica de război ȋn ţările aflate departe de zona de conflict. Neputinţă, frustrare, perspectivă total imprevizibilă.  Coroborat, anxietatea nucleară s-a acutizat ȋntr-atȋt, ȋncȋt specialiştii s-au sesizat din oficiu: Cum să vorbeşti cu copilul despre războiul nuclear?

Asta, după ce i-ai explicat cum e cu nosophobia, anxietate legată de contactarea acelor boli cronice, nevindecabile, cărora li s-a făcut reclamă din plin şi-a dat şi peste. (nu e ipohondrie) 1 din 4 părinţi au copii cu probleme de somn iar 1 din 5 le dau melatonină ȋnainte de ora de somn. (habar n-am de ce)

Criza din covid-19 a lăsat şi ea, ȋn urmă, obsesiv-compulsivul reflex de a te repezi pe internet, la o căutare de simptome, după cea mai slabă tuse.

Abia aştept ca inteligenţa artificială să ia locul doctorilor! Bagi ȋn ea ce informaţie vrei, şi primeşti ce boală ţi se potriveşte. Vine algoritmul şi-ţi dă compatibilitatea la marele fix, ca Netflix: 97%. Măcar e pe faţă.  

Anxietatea A.I. e ȋn creştere. Dar anxietatea legată de schimbările climatice e cea mai puternică. Ȋi face pe oameni să se simtă fără speranţă, furioşi, alienaţi. Iar asta, spun specialiştii, ȋţi scoate creierul din funcţiune. Ȋţi stă mintea-n loc, adică.

Este numită “future anxiety”, ȋngrijorarea cu privire la viitor. Ȋntr-un studiu care cuprinde mai multe ţări din toată lumea, 59% s-au declarat foarte sau extrem de ȋngrijoraţi iar 84% ȋngrijoraţi peste medie. Mai mult de jumătate spun că anxietatea climatică le afectează viaţa de zi cu zi. Spre deosebire de alte anxietăţi de cultură, această ȋngrijorare imprimă şi o amprentă de auto-ȋnvinovăţire.

Future anxiety şi War anxiety nici nu existau, pȋnă acum, ȋn ţări precum Italia, de exemplu. E prima dată cȋnd sunt documentate. Frica de război e urmată de un şir de anxietăţi legate de consecinţele economice ale războiului. Apoi, cum era de aşteptat, frica de un al III-lea război mondial e deja aici.

Dar, nu mă las. Să vă dau nişte titluri: “AI chatbots deja au surclasat media creativitaţii umane”, “AI e deja mai creativ decȋt tine”, na!

“OCD e o dezordine de sănătate mentală care implică gȋnduri, sentimente, impulsuri invasive, disturbatoare de care nu poţi să scapi, ca de nişte erori cognitive ce sunt. Ȋn schimb, le vezi drept periculoase şi ameninţătoare iar asta le transformă ȋn obsesii – O de la OCD. Evită anumite teme, cuvinte sau fraze care pot declanşa stress şi anxietate.  Redu, ia o pauză sau stai departe de anumite tipuri de ştiri, dacă acestea te afectează prea mult.”
