Facebook: A Second Look

Today I got on Facebook and I sat there strolling through the posts with my jaw dropped…. mouth wide open. All I could think was… this is like the Jerry Springer show. I just sat there in stunned silence realizing that I was in a kind of kindergarten for adults. A complainers paradise and a dreamers heaven. A play school… one of those places where you drop your kids off when you go to work. You know where they have all kinds of “activities” to keep the children occupied? Yeah adults have been occupying wall street and the children have been occupied via Facebook and google etc. I’m not saying that it is all bad…. I’m just saying what it is. Psychologically these social networks provide a large dose of escapism via a uniformly agreed upon illusion of doing nothing but pretending it is something. Surely the passing of information is doing something but fish in an aquarium can pass information all day but they are never getting out of that aquarium? It is sufficient for sheeple to talk about it…(obviously some kind of psychological release)… to complain about the boss then get up bright and early every day for more of the same. Social networks organize the collective consciousness into an even more defined and “localized” consciousness… like a central computer. I think it will be extremely difficult for anyone to accomplish anything of lasting value if they remain on social networks. I could almost say that most of those who spend all day on social networks are those who will gather only superficial nutrients and the endless day by day, minute by minute infecting of each other with all kinds of mental diseases and spiritual uncleanliness. So… in closing I will say this : Birds of a feather flock together. Social networks are a double edged sword given to psychotic children. They make the under achiever equal with the over achiever… the worthy equal with the unworthy and this is unnatural. Could this be a cleverly orchestrated and manipulated genocide of the human intellect? Freedom has an aspect to it that requires one to break away from the flock… to break away from the collective consciousness. If everyone was evolved then the social networks and the collective consciousness would truly be grand but everyone is not evolved. So…. if social networks give even more structure and cohesiveness to the collective consciousness then that is extremely dangerous because the collective consciousness is a savage beast. I may post periodically due to boredom etc but I am now detached. Moving into 2012. Moving into reality.  Long live The King.

The Like Button: The Symbol of Our Times

Sitting here listening to some of my music…letting the lyrics fall into place in my head while I simultaneously ponder society and social networks.The like button on Facebook should be the symbol for our day and times. You must forgive me if I seem to get too deep…that is my nature. When a man becomes a man he puts away childish things. Now the like button is ingenious no doubt about it. It allows people to express a feeling about something. It can show support or belief in or I’m sure a variety of sentiments…all positive of course. It also allows for polling,testing,understanding of the individual doing the clicking. Not so positive if the observations are done by a government or social scientists for example. Still the reason it should be the symbol of our day and times is because of its psychology. There is something odd about clicking a like button on a screen. On a social network the like button creates all kinds of insanity and personality disorders. It creates illusions and delusions. It like tv moves the being into a space where they are absent from… being. Likes become value oriented causing schizophrenia, paranoia and competition. Likes become a reward for particular lines of thought etc..:.like Pavlovs dogs.All the people that think this way line up over here…”like”  is the symbol of being displaced from reality.It is the symbol for how easily sheeple are herded and it is the “revealer” of their true intelligence. Like is the symbol of reality tv stars,American idol,who wants to be a millionaire etc. It is the symbol of a culture that lives in insanity and a culture that is extremely comfortable with insanity. The narcotic of choice in this insane asylum is the like button. So…be careful…use the like button wisely.
