Usury

They’ll make you vain and feel ugly at the same time. But no despair. They have the solution beautifully packaged. It just works.

A simple pain, agitate and ‘solve’ strategy.

“A magazine is simply a device to induce people to read advertising.”

James Collins

Beauty magazines are not the best source of information when it comes to self-image. Instead, focus on cultivating self-compassion and self-care. Surround yourself with people and activities that make you feel good, learn to recognize beauty within yourself and others, and take care of your physical and mental health. (oa)

AI Created: Artificial Intelligence talking about Usury.

Me: In a world that accepted usury we’ll have beauty magazines that makes us feel ugly. It’s a simple pain, agitate and ‘solve’ strategy. Do that or accept poverty. You are ugly, look beautiful.

ChatGPT (jan23):

In a world where usury is accepted, it is likely that there will be a greater emphasis on consumerism and the desire to appear perfect in order to fit in with societal norms. Beauty magazines may contribute to this by promoting unrealistic standards of beauty and suggesting that certain products or treatments are necessary to meet those standards. This can create a cycle of insecurity and the need to constantly improve one’s appearance in order to avoid poverty or social marginalization.
