The other day I saw a time-lapse video in which four Tibetan Buddhist monks created a 5′ x 5′ sand mandala. The video lasted only 1 minute, but the whole project took 5 days of 8–10 hours of work each day; roughly 50 hours to complete. In the end, they perform their traditional ritual and…

Uncle Sam wants YOU for the US army; if you’re 40 or a stoner
The ARMY now allows you to enlist up to the age of 42. Not only is this a drastic and direct strategy to counter the dismal recruitment numbers, but a clear sign of desperation from the current administration. Something that is obvious and hasn’t been discussed at lenght is that if they fail to reach…

Another Day Living Under Massive Disinformation; The New Normal
One more day goes by, and I keep adding new issues to my list of global concerns and horrors that, even if they don’t directly affect me, will inevitably have consequences in one way or another—it’s only a matter of time. If I had to pick one—or at least the one at the top of…

AI has always been trending… Anti-intellectualism for the masses
Correct. And I want to elaborate on what I have been perceiving as anti-intellectualism since the pandemic (2020) began. What has changed since the days of burning “witches” at the stake to what we are experiencing today? The message is the same –> Fear to manipulate, return to law and order. But the medium has…

You’re not losing your mind. Blame social media engineering for how you feel
Several independent studies indicate that 64% to 80% of Twitter accounts are bots. On Facebook, over 50% of content is generated by AI or bots. That’s over HALF of social media comment and interactions being produced by non-humans. What does this mean? The vast majority of traffic pushed and highlighted by the algorithm on META…

It’s been a MINUTE. Incredibly enough, things have gotten exponentially better. Took my sweet time re-reading some of my past posts, every week or so at random, and I gotta say, the darkness was real. The mental and emotional haze caused by instability and loss of control doesn’t allow you to see any further down the…

Bitten by the cinema bug [yet again]
![Bitten by the cinema bug [yet again]](https://bustibusti.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/584_1967_cccr.jpeg?w=1024)
After a long time of watching and rewatching my favorite series, navigating deep into the episodic art of television making, I’ve finally returned to my first love: Films. It’s been a while since I’ve felt this way. Over 2 years to be precise. I’m thinking around mid 2020, smack-dab in the middle of lockdown, when…
