Five Minute Read
Some publications on our fallen internet use something similar to the headline above – as a service to busy readers on a tight time budget. It is ultimately destructive of the deeper understanding that can only arise from unbudgeted contemplation. Better to learn to distinguish what is real, important and true from what is simply and an effort to persuade us to love, hate or purchase something or someone.
We have a whole-of-civilization problem in which intelligence agencies and covert organizations claiming to represent popular aspirations slaughter each other in undeclared wars and at schools and social gatherings, all reported in exhaustive visual detail by five entertainment conglomerates aka “MSM” and on social media.
Everybody knows the internet is a poisonous sewer where narcotics, weapons and human beings are bought sold and rented every day.
Every home, every individual around the world and all our devices are part of a spy-built network which was always intended to be what the internet has become: a universal surveillance and social control systems.
In itself, the internet is knowledge of good and evil. Mankind could sort of deal with the temptations once; it as whore town, the Casbah, the dealer-in-the park – we understood good and evil more clearly once; but the internet erodes distinctions with fake news and blame, blame, blame. The internet does not require assured identity and without out assured identity there is deception, and eventually, given the skill and persistence of deceiver(s) we are all fooled. As we have been.
We the People could easily fix the internet; we could make it a public utility – our problem is cognitive not technological. Anonymous networks will not support civilization because they connect the highly intelligent greed driven sociopathic minority to the rest of us. This is not an opinion, or a theory; it's an axiom, and the damage we have sustained as a result of Information Poisoning has left most of us unable to understand what is happening to us.
We can't form social or economic views based on network derived information. We cannot set social or economic policy based on one set of lies or another. It is trivial for an aggrieved or ill-disposed entity to manipulate facts and context and story in virtual no man's land.
Until the integrity of information distribution systems is assured, the system remains what it as designed to be. What Orwell, Huxley, McKuen, and George . S. Trow foresaw it would be, a monstrous political mind control system, a spiritual and social tyranny, a pseudo reality where the many may dispose of the few however they see fit, simply by controlling both sides of the question and its presentation to the public.
