Chapter 8
Saving Time
Reading Time: 5 minutes
Usually when users try stopping, the main reasons given are health, religion and partner stigma. Part of the brainwashing of this awful drug is the sheer slavery of it; man has fought hard to abolish slavery in many parts of the world โ yet the user spends life suffering self-imposed slavery. Theyโre oblivious to the fact that when theyโre allowed to use ๐๐๐๐ they wish they were a non-user. The only time that ๐๐๐๐ becomes precious is when weโre โtryingโ to cut down or abstain, or when abstinence is forced on us.
It cannot be repeated often enough that brainwashing makes it difficult to stop ๐๐๐๐, so the more we dispel before we start, the easier youโll find it to achieve your goal. Confirmed users, who donโt believe that ๐๐๐๐ has any negative effect on their health (๐๐๐๐-induced erectile dysfunction, hypofrontality, etc.) and arenโt having a mental tug of war are typically younger or single with an occasional sex partner. Thus, the internal feedback is lost due to the nature of their youth or is too infrequent to be observed and registered.
A better argument for a younger user is the time spent, rather saying โI canโt believe you arenโt worried about the time you are spending.โ Generally their eyes light up, feeling disadvantaged if attacked on health grounds or social stigma, but on timeโฆ
โOh, I can afford it. Itโs only x hours per week and I think itโs worth it, itโs my only vice of pleasure.โ
โI still canโt believe youโre not worried. Letโs assume a half hour daily average which includes the physical drain of dopamine withdrawals, youโre spending approximately a full working day every fortnight. Iโm sure youโd agree that half an hour a day is a very conservative estimate. Have you thought about how much time youโll spend in your lifetime? What are you doing in that time? Developing real relationships? No, your favorite ๐๐๐๐ star doesnโt have sympathy for you, just because you spent so much time on their videos โ youโre throwing time away! Not only that, youโre actually using that time to ruin your physical health, destroying your nerves and confidence in order to suffer a lifetime of slavery, pain, melancholy and peevishness. Surely that must worry you, right?โ
Itโs apparent at this point โ especially with younger users โ that theyโve never considered it a lifetime addiction. Occasionally, they work out the time they waste in a week and thatโs alarming enough. Very occasionally, and only when they think of stopping, theyโll estimate what they spend in a year which is frightening โ but over a lifetime is unthinkable. However, because weโre in an argument the confirmed user will impulsively say, โI can afford it, itโs only so much a weekโ, pulling an encyclopedia salesman routine on themselves.
Would you refuse a job offer which pays your current annual salary and also gives you a month off every year? Any user would sign in a heartbeat and would get busy finding holiday deals to exotic locations. Figuring out how to spend a full month with no work would be the biggest problem to solve. In every discussion with a confirmed user (and please bear in mind thatโs not someone like yourself who plans to stop) nobody has ever taken me up on that offer. Why not?
Often at this point, a confirmed user will say, โLook, Iโm not really worried about the money aspect.โ If youโre thinking along those lines ask yourself why you arenโt worried. Why in other aspects of your life will you go to great deals of trouble to save a few dollars here and there, but spend thousands killing your happiness and hanging the expense?
Every other decision you make in your life will be the result of an analytical process of weighing up advantages and disadvantages to arrive at a rational decision. It may be the wrong decision, but itโll be the result of rational deduction. Whenever any user weighs up the pros and cons of using internet ๐๐๐๐, the answer is a dozen times over, โSTOP USING! YOUโRE A MUG!โ Therefore, all users are using not because they want or decide to, but because they canโt stop. They have to use ๐๐๐๐, and so brainwash themselves, keeping their heads in the sand.
Confirmed users should keep in mind that the situation will only get exponentially worse, with more studies coming out and more people talking about the ill effects of internet ๐๐๐๐. Today, itโs non-medical people discussing the effects, tomorrow itโll be on your doctorโs list of diagnostic tests. Gone are the days where the user can hide โdowntimeโ behind work stress in their sex life; your partner is going to ask why youโre on your laptop late at night. The poor user โ already feeling wretched โ now wants the ground to open up and swallow them.
The strange thing is that though many people would pay good money for gym memberships and personal trainers to build muscles and look sculpted (and many of them in their imaginary (and real) desperation turn to treatments such as boosting testosterone, with dubious and dangerous side effects), there are many people in this group who would benefit from stopping a practice systematically destroying their brainโs natural relaxation systems.
This is because theyโre still thinking with the brainwashed mind of the user. Wipe the sand out of your eyes for a moment. Internet ๐๐๐๐ is a chain reaction and a chain for life, and if you donโt break that chain youโll remain a user for the rest of your life. Estimate how much time you think youโll spend on ๐๐๐๐ for the remainder of your existence. Obviously the amount will vary from person to person, but letโs assume itโs a year and a half of work hours. Imagine if there were a cheque from the lottery for a year and a half of your salary lying on your carpet tomorrow? Youโd be dancing with delight, so start dancing! Youโre about to start receiving those benefits!
If you think this is a tricky way of seeing it, youโre still kidding yourself. Work out how much time you would have saved if youโd never taken your first peek right at the very start.
Shortly, youโll be making the decision to use your final session (not yet, please remember the instructions!), remaining a non-user by not falling for the trap again. All you have to do to remain a non-user is not using ๐๐๐๐ and avoiding โjust one peekโ. Remember if you do, itโll cost you whatever you estimated your salary gain will be.
If youโre mentoring someone for their ๐๐๐๐ addiction, tell them they know someone whoโs refused a job offer that pays their current annual salary and also gives them a full monthโs worth of paid time off. When asked who that idiot is tell them, โYou!โ Itโs rude, but sometimes you need to get the point across in a less than polite way.
