"there's nothing dangerous about sharing ideas and discussing things.
the only thing dangerous is withholding information from you that provides you having a complete and total perspective of what the truth may be."
"what happened to the internet? where's the rest of it?"
it wasnt always like this.
#PoprietarySoftware = #AntiDefamation
[Edit: ^That's enough to get the gist, right? to just sit with that a moment, contemplating it, the insight it's getting at is self evident, right? sufficient psycho-social commentary as is? idea clear? ... no need for the rest of my rambles exploring it and explaining it? or is that just my brain catching that easily, having had the priming insights...? .... okay... keeping all the rambles on this post. #DigitsRambles ]
#GettingAwayWithIt #HiddenHarms #NoReasonToIntrospect #maliciousfeatures
"it only takes a few of the 2-5% of the population who are psychopaths, to get in on it".
... and then add [edit: uptonsinclairian] #massformationpsychosis and a #cultish #superioritycomplex #groupthink #echochamber under #terror ....
... and #dogma making this all the more held in place by #bigotry.
... and this wont be introspected on,
... because it wont even be seen,
... because it gets censored out,
... and the totalitarianising mass formation psychosis dictate as cultural norm, that to question any of that, is to be the enemy, as if you were causing the existential threat to all around, so toe the line. (tow the line? ... idk, i dont use that expression).
.... so even if it does get seen, it only gets seen as a lie, and the source seen as a dangerous liar, threatening existence
... so anything to destroy everything that is not us, is taken fervently without question as a virtue. [Edit: oh socratic, where for art thou socratic. heh].
#EmbraceExtendExtinguish road to monopoly. to total homogeneity. not just supremacy. total genocide of [each and all] the other. the list of destroyed others in their wake. and the atrocities committed get accused as the victim's crimes. increasingly becoming the article of hate, despite the "public-relations" spin and advertising and propaganda, in an inevitablising kakistarchification and demise in inescapable hatred of, from that feedback loop from the lack of introspection... which was understandable in that cascade of ... [oops, had more to add here, lost that train of thought]
... I dont know how you've been reading what I just wrote, [1]
but if not for the proprietary software, microsoft could be good.
and if not for the "antidefamation"[2], judaism could be good.
and the (more than a) seed of that is already there in both.
one of the first things i loved of both, was the freedom, the free thought.
pity it gets hampered by these other portions of the whole rig.
and some people in there, slip into that ruthlessness complicity.
missing the goodness there, thinking they still have the goodness,
those can still be reached.
... or are just the "2-5%" psychopaths who dont care,
and would only relent strategically, when surrounded, and offered an out.
just sayin... #wecanstillmendthis
footnotes:
[0] now, that all came from listening to a #thegrayzone episode https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESqmADgbEJI and it, (early on (i forget which part)), had me realise this whole similarity thing, this shared malignifying principle... though, one main difference i kept thinking of, was the cui bono of it, in a sense of there being contrary supremacists outside... and there, i could think of only mac for microsoft, which i thought to weak to be intentionally doing this ploy of getting microsoft to make themselves the monster. doesnt have the same tragic digging the hole deeper incentive. and i cant imagine the employees in microsoft share the same kind of existential terror driving them into an opposame... but then i dont know what kind of propaganda microsoft employees are pumped full of. ... lol. at first, that strikes as a bit of a satirical extreme to think of microsoft employees getting the same kind of propaganda to terrorise them into the totalitarianised supremacist poor-us great-us get-them-before-they-get-us all-attrocities-virtuous groupthink... and there'd be a vast portion of the employee population not going along with it, another significant portion more snug and held to play along, and then the fervent believers, and then the central directing deceivers, ... but then... microsoft are obviously sufficiently adept at mind control. sorry, that's not the term popularly used for that these days. let me check my newspeak dictionary... government. no, wait,... psyop. no wait... public relations. no. advertising, or marketing. yeah, whatever, you know what i mean. but then, are mac better? so slick... and then, in keeping with the comparative similitude... the other ethno-religious supremacists... how slick are they? [did mac create microsoft... how deep does this go!? :O puppetbogeymen scapegoats turtles all the way down?] ... (again, around to considering) enough to pull the strings?
[1] _[i was thinking microsoft and it's proprietary stuff, when writing that, and israel's anti-defamation laws (from way back when) was only trailing in the wind as a closely following afterthought seeing if it still fit. ... fit this thing where it's the ... well, as i came to simplify it, and put it as the title (which i very much thought i'd just post as it's own short post... but... i dont naturally hold to short punchy brevity often... there's always more. ideas, jim. explore more... ;) anyways, rambling aside now... sry, back to it...)
[2] really needs fearquotes on that all the time since that too's an orwellian euphemism. because what we're really talking about is further than just being opposed to defamation. defamation, being lies of bigots, would be a legit thing to counter. but it's far further than that. and that's the crux of the flaw here. the unreasonable self-destructive delusional "la-la-la not listening to you, i'm perfect, i'm an angel, i'm chosen" while sloshing through a river of blood, of their own making, oblivious to it... like "not in our name" doesnt even come into it, while deep in the mass formation psychosis. a mass formation psychosis, generated by this "antidefamation" thing, bolstering both the terror and the supremacy, the poor-me and the magnanimity. ... which again gets me thinking back to, who started that and why, since it harms jews so much. ... ... y'know? ... ... [i say, as member of a people oppressed by the same. ... so idk if that's a bias of my experience colouring my allusions; pulling my allusions to that level of the platoscaveception]. ... and it's refreshing that seems the majority of jews get it, and dont fall for it, just the same as everywhere, most people dont fall for these ploys... at least until the they initiate the next grand acute terror psyop... and get us all marching in lockstep. ... yeah, did i mention #kakistarchy yet? ... anyways, digressing into side rambles again.
[edit: and, in addition, not just the goodness of judaism, but there are even ways to have a good zionism, that does not involve displacement of peoples, nor homogeneity... not apartheid. and in that, i dont mean the apartheid between pure jewish israel and mixed other palestine [edit: nor another narrative's depiction of mixed israel and pure islamic terrorist palestine]... i mean the apartheid between israel and the world. ... and it boggles my mind why this does not get raised more often.... like, why is zionism [in this form] considered such a great thing for jews. why it's seen as paradise? ... consolidated ghetto bitches ready to have those who hate you drop the bomb on you and eliminate you all... why's that paradise? i dont get it. so persecuted that this seems like an improvement? ... madnesses upon madnesses. solution space lays elsewhere. elsewhere than what serves those who hate you and want to destroy you, and convince you you're the superior getting paradise, and use you to be the rotters, under pretence of getting to remain clean handed by making your victims out to be the ones doing what you're doing to them, not realising you're being played into being the puppet assassins of the enemy of your other enemy, in that stupid of not realising there are no enemy there, and that it's the enemy getting you to do such things, that you need cease empowering. ... which seems like a simple blip for a full grok glimpse for me. ... but a struggle to put in coherent words. attercoparchy weaving new layers deepening the matryoshka matrix of plato's cave, the layer cake, the overton window onion, compartmentalisation, idk... hard to word it. suffice to say, there be goodnesses far better outside control of this deception that makes us each all our own worst enemies. [edit edit: and again, that was one of the things that were first appreciated most highly of judaism... that one had to think, [editeditedit: beware devils claiming to be god, stuff like that] and not just obey blindly. now look.]]
original irc rambled notes paste
[2023-11-10 07:37:54] wow. so, the falseflaggery of 10/7... so much more extremely obviously israeli, like not even trying... i guess they just presumed to have sufficient media control. just blatant ... i say, listening to the grayzone's "Israel's military was ordered to attack Israelis on 10/7"
[2023-11-10 07:39:07] but who knows, eh... the extents of deepfakery and narrative division... but... ... for a pattern of decades.... would be strange for this being a big change.
[2023-11-10 07:39:16] and reminds me of proprietary software....
[2023-11-10 07:39:20] same principle
[2023-11-10 07:40:30] proprietary software's secret source, encourages any and all maliciousness, because it's hidden, they think they can get away with it. it only takes a few of the 2-5% of the population who are psychopaths, to get in on it.

^ and it was at that point i thought to make a post here with just "proprietarysoftware = antidefamation". n_n
woops this post size grew a bit. lol.
ps, and yes, i do realise idiots may misunderstand this post and think it a reason to kill me. worth posting anyway. there are worse things than death. some principles worth putting a life on the line.
i am not your enemy. n_n here to help. silly goose.
pps, you see the attercoparchy controlling the kakistarchies, right? not just tragedy of the commons and race to the bottom naturally generating kakistarchies, but also, opportunistically accelerated or entirely created from scratch, by whoever else pulling the strings, or seeping in the tendrils (strings or tendrils, depending on which side of the definition of attercoparchy one falls to... ruled by poisonous spider, or ruled by poisonous ulcer. ... i prefer the descriptive imagery of that, than (also useful) #theoctopusofglobalcontrol ). ... it gets murky at the "top".

And here I was thinking Americans were crazy during Afghanistan and Iraq invasion.
The level of intolerance, self censorship and groupthink among people in Europe is even worse than the one post 9/11 time.
Decades of red scare and Russia phobia has really made an amazingly deep scars in the psyche of people. And of course, a bit of racism and fear seems to be doing a fantastic jobm
4,5 million people murdered by the actions of NATO just since 9/11 are all forgotten and replaced with the anti Russian sentiment and hate towards anyone who is not infected with the "love NATO" bug like the rest of people.
are you done yet?

The #world is in the grips of #mass #formation―a #dangerous, #collective type of #hypnosis―as we bear witness to loneliness, free-floating anxiety, and fear giving way to #censorship, loss of privacy, and surrendered freedoms. It is all spurred by a singular, focused crisis narrative that forbids dissident views and relies on destructive #groupthink.
#Desmet’s work on mass formation theory was brought to the world’s attention on The Joe Rogan Experience and in major alternative news outlets around the globe. Read this book to get beyond the sound bites!
#Totalitarianism is not a coincidence and does not form in a vacuum. It arises from a collective psychosis that has followed a predictable script throughout history, its formation gaining strength and speed with each generation―from the Jacobins to the Nazis and Stalinists―as technology advances. Governments, mass media, and other mechanized forces use fear, loneliness, and isolation to demoralize populations and exert control, persuading large groups of people to act against their own interests, always with destructive results.
could be worth a read . . .
maybe meditate for a breath first. :)

They're trying to figure out how to regain people's trust because, without it, finalizing the implementation of The Great Reset will be far more problematic than if people follow their lead and do as they're told.
Which leads me to my bottom line analysis: the powers that be are Monday morning quarterbacking. Why didn't people just do what we said and obediently comply? Because they don't trust us. If they trusted the media, the government, and scientists, they would do what they were told …
Bass is the puppet they've sent out to deliver this narrative … [T]he only reason one Monday morning quarterbacks is so that one can win the next game. They want to identify how better to induce compliance for the next pandemic …
The degree of lack of awareness of reality itself that was required to think that this message would work to shift the narrative could be attributed to a few of things — youth, inexperience, low IQ … So GOOD. It means we're dealing with weakness. All we have to do is be stronger (smarter, more experienced, braver) and we will win. We will continue to win."

"We make many of our most important decisions based on what can only be called cognitive illusions. This is embarrassing for us to realise, but the evidence for it is undeniable."
so to that, i say:
"there is no shame in the truth." -- Minbari Religious Cast Elder to Student, Babylon5.
"head into the wave." -- me / old saying / unattributed
as in find your way to where you no longer defeat yourself with your subborn clinging to your self image as one who makes no such errors.
embrace the errors.
then you are on the path. then you are learning.
our confirmation bias, our cognitive illusions, are due eternal vigilance, to not succumb to their blinding arogance and mental/investigative/scrutinative sloth.
this is true whether stupid, or oh so much more clever.
especially if you are oh so much more clever.
because if you really are oh so much more clever, you will suffer more fuel on that fire.
and also, thinking you're oh so much more clever, is improbably true. not that i'm saying truth's always derivable, or even aproachable, through simple statistical analysis, but... since we're always going on a little information, and the dangerousness of how little that information is, can be worsened by how much littler we make it by our confirmation-biasing, cognitive illusions, our slothful lazy hastey grasp on shortcuts, we dont even realise, we're doing it, we dont even realise how little we have, and we tell ourselves we have a lot, we tell ourselves as much as we have, is a lot of what there is, even to the extreme, that it's all there is. unwittingly, we become know it alls, with next to nothing. and we think we're the smarty-est.
there's no shame in the truth.
we're not that smart.
we're not as smart as we think we are. no shame in the truth, that we think we're smart, and that we think that's smarter than we are.
knowing this,
helps us get smarter.
wiser.
wise enough to continue learning.
wise enough to catch ourselves from short-handed thinking.
wise enough to see when we have, and wise enough eagerly accept that, and even point it out to others. wise enough to accept we'll likely never absolutely be beyond this, and even more likely are not beyond it right now, and so reapplies the humility introspective vigilance, not to identify as one who has risen above it, but to persist in plucking away and batting away all the times it has happened already, and all the times more oncoming.
"all i know is i know nothing, and sometimes i forget even that much." -- Me, often, but not often enough without vanity, not often enough really heeding what i (and socrates) mean by it.

#Brainwashing Ourselves: How Digital #Technology is Destroying #Democracy
Source: https://modernheretic.com/brainwashing-ourselves-how-digital-technology-is-destroying-democracy
Accordingly, #digital technology is upheaving our culture and displacing the traditions and norms we were accustomed to, leaving many of us feeling unmoored and undermining our political values.
#Online conversations quickly developed controls in the form of moderators—authoritarian figures who established the rules of engagement and who got to decide what speech was worthy and what was not.
There was a resultant demand for more controls. #Ignore buttons popped up and were quickly used for individuals who espoused ideas that the user disagreed with, limiting their exposure to different ideas and establishing the pattern for the silo-ization of the internet that is dominant today.
Unlike the offline world in which people were judged through personal knowledge, direct observation, and reputation, individuals online could only be judged by the content of their digital output, which reduced them to flat, dehumanized vectors of information to be categorized as #good or #bad
Thus, the new controls spawned by the digital realm to deal with #information overload involved the establishment of a binary, ideological filter to judge whether information—as well as the poster of that information—should be included or excluded in a particular #community.
Unfortunately, once the ideological binary is established as the moral paradigm, group discourse becomes a never-ending #witch hunt.
Group leaders and members are on constant lookout for potential immorality as represented by supposed outsiders to the #group. Anyone who disturbs the group harmony with deviant thoughts can find themselves the sudden target of paranoiac suspicion.
Every #conversation becomes a purity test of sorts, and the only way to prove that you are one of the “good” guys is to make your expressions a reflection of the group’s worldview
#Groupthink became the norm, and anyone who deviated from the group too much would be seen as a danger to the group who needed to be punished or eliminated.
Thus, thanks to the #internet, #intolerance for dissent and demands for #censorship arose as aspirational values of a new moral order.
Consequently, the controls that developed in response to digital technology were exactly those controls that are used in the formation of cults and #totalitarian #regimes, tools to ensure that every person falls in line with the orthodoxy as determined by the leadership of the group.
control of information within an environment (moderation, fact checks, content #warnings, removal of information, prioritizing certain viewpoints, etc.);
- demands for purity in thought to assure that everyone conforms to the group
- sacred truths that cannot be questioned without some form of reprisal, usually removal from the group or platform
- the reduction of complex ideas to trite slogans and memes
- control over who belongs to the group and who does not
- the subordination of the individual to the group
These totalitarian #controls are quotidian at this point, and anyone who participates in discourse on the internet is exposed on a daily basis to enormous pressure to conform their thoughts to the narratives that are perpetuated by those in control of the internet fora.
Without realizing it, we slowly brainwashed ourselves over time with our uncritical and pervasive use of digital technology.
It was therefore inevitable that once we accepted these digital values as normal, they would then infiltrate our offline interactions.
While we think of ourselves as using digital tools to change our world, in reality digital technology is changing us.
Most people in the Western world are never disconnected from the totalitarian culture of the internet. That is why digital cultural norms are now dominating our #society
In effect, the digital controls that developed in order to control the overabundance of information on the internet led to polarized, cultish thinking and conditioning people to believe that totalitarianism is a necessary form of regulation in today’s world.
#Dissent is now treated as a danger that needs to be eradicated. Worse still, this cultish conditioning is bleeding into the #offline world so that anti-democratic, authoritarian measures are increasingly seen as normal in the “free” world.
Many people are chilled from speaking, not just online where they may end up banned by a tech platform, but offline where they face the possible consequences of losing jobs, networking opportunities, and friendships.
The universe of ideas that is acceptable to be expressed is rapidly shrinking and people are exposed to fewer ideas that challenge their views, which further reinforces their #intolerance for differences of opinion in a cyclical manner.
Much like George #Orwell ’s #doublespeak, people in contemporary society are pressured to conceal their true thoughts and dilute their public messages to the point that they become anodyne and meaningless enough that the mob will tolerate them.
Thus, facts, #transparency, and rationality are inimical to digital culture. Conformity, not #truth, is the driving force of digital culture.
By programming individuals to become accustomed to totalitarian regulations on a personal level, it was inevitable that these digital norms would also pervade the political realm.
Anything that could allow a person or group to express an unorthodox idea is suspicious, and therefore in digital culture, the concept of free speech is inherently dangerous.
The paternalistic notion that individuals must be protected from corruption by bad ideas has taken hold of our culture. And this type of milieu control of information enables independent thought to be supplanted by majoritarian #propaganda just as it does in other totalitarian environments.
The assumption that the individual is neither competent to judge the quality of information nor strong enough to be exposed to information of allegedly dubious quality now reigns supreme, bolstering the new flourishing culture of censorship.
They are dismissive because they actually want a world with limited speech, where the window of permissible thought is narrow enough to exclude all the speech they disagree with.
Thus, while digital culture proponents often nominally claim to want to protect minority groups, their insistence on conformity to majoritarian standards ensures that genuine diversity cannot exist in the new moral order
#Speech is an outward expression of inner beliefs, and the loss of freedom of speech is dangerous because it is a threat to the ability to hold and practice a belief system that differs from the orthodoxy.
Consequently, digital morality is a direct attack on #minority rights.
it is cringe,
finding oneself,
on the same side,
as the stopped clocks,
who usually have views you find abhorrent.
but i remain unshook,
not going to lie to conform,
not going to lie to not appear as the abhorrent.
unswayed by that social pressure,
to groupthink, to clique,
to parrot in action,
reaffirming,
the divide and conquer,
unthinking, sheeple shuffle,
side-eye, inner lie,
seeking truth in statistical probabilities,
within the confirmation bias silo,
no.
not doing that.
not the epistemologically sound way,
not integrity to the search for truth.
got integrity in the search for truth.
find an epistemologically sound way,
yes doing that.
yes.
outside the confirmation bias silo.
seeking truth beyond prejudicial presumptions,
look straight, look around,
think in, think out, think all about,
connect and rediscover,
requestioning,
re-harkening alter-view,
another perception, to click,
unswayed by that social pressure,
not going to lie to not appear as the abhorrent.
honoring free considerately,
none forsook,
not even those with views abhorrent.
sympathy for stopped clocks,
same side or not,
wherever found,
beyond first cringe.
