▬▬ Research and Script ▬▬
Please keep in mind that a vast majority of this research was thrown out due to how depressing it was. I've identified which sections are a part of that research, and I would discourage you from actually looking into it unless you are trying to wrap your head around how AI is being used. All research related to creating this video is available on the blog: publish.obsidian.md/rejectconvenience/Reject+Convenience+Website/Videos/2025/11-24-2025+-+How+to+do+anything+(without+AI)/How+to+do+anything+RESEARCH
The entire script can be found here if you prefer to read:

Description for those who prefer
We're not cooked... but we're definitely getting slowcooked
This is a video about the Gradual Disempowerment of humanity, as a result of overreliance on AI. It's also a guide to implimenting some simple but (in my opinion) effective solutions.

*varying degrees of falsifiability - some books will be mostly bullshit, but there’s some really interesting stuff here too that is worth thinking about. I don’t want this to come across as a critique of alternative ideas or an obedience to “official narrative” dogma: I wholeheartedly encourage everyone to debunk falsifiable mainstream explanations of reality too.
