We are entering a new realm of reality

What do you think Facebook algorithms are?

How can those algorithms can be used for different endeavors.. ?

These social media outlets are the tip of the iceberg..About the usage of how entities can control people...In 1902 Pavlov did and experiment that created the idea of classical conditioning.. It been studied for more the 100 years now..

We all know the experiment was getting a dog to react to an external stimulant.. and the dogs reaction to the bell that has nothing to do with a normal reaction to food. but the results were the same. the bell became the food

We have finally reached the stage.. where human stimulants and subsequent unrelated reactions can be diagnosed, measured, and utilized.
These stimulants are Not done by the experimenter.. they are done from everyday life. Everyday life stimulants program us to reactions, that in many cases are not directly related to the stimulant.... In other words, we don't even know why we react the way we do..We, like robots, don't understand the nature of our program.. We do without thinking... about thinking about it.

Facebook algorithms. measure that.. it's in the infant stage.. of turning human into robots.

That futuristic idea of "Big Brother" as a takeover of government and control of nonconformist..takes on a new meaning, a new conspiracy..
A combination of "The Matrix" .. where people don't know whats reality.
and the "Invasion of the Body Snatcher"....Becoming robots living in a controlled society....

We ask what can we do about it? Well...Once the horses get out of the barn..It's too late to close the door..

We are learning, now that human choices, without consequences is the death of humanity.

The irony about it is truly amazing if one thinks about it..Turning humans into robots may be our our only hope for survival.

Humans are truly an amazing species..

its apparent other species are less advanced.. to be able to protect themselves from extinction.

That human are the top of food chain..That humans can control their environment and adapt..That human have a greater power of self realization. That human have been given the POWER.

With power comes corruption..with power comes intemperance.. with power comes excuses and irresponsibility..

With power comes the power for ones own extinction.

A few days ago, I commented on her blog. The blog concerned a deaf man who was incarcerated because a law enforcement officer could not comprehend his communication. My comment was something to the effect that he should have been doing his signing thing with more than one finger. My attempt at humor was unappreciated. It got me banned from her blog. No great loss.

But you nailed it, JC.

As my late mother used to say, "Don't let the bastards get you down"

Your response illustrates my point......How much of a drama queen do you have to be in order to think that you know what I think......That is what you do constantly.......many of your blogs open with some version of "I know you people will never get it, but let me tell you what' really going on."......Pure Drama Queen.......

So it appears this is your first time.......Are you really an internet virgin?.....Anyone with any experience on the internet would know that making fun of someone with a disability will not be thought humorous by everyone.........

Sometimes I find it amazing.. that I talk about something..that isn't already being talked about..
Which you assume I write as my absolute truth.. when i write it as an unconsidered possibility.

You may think i pull it out of my ass.. but let assure you.. I think about it..
I never take anything at face value.. so i never write anything at face value..

Today i was thinking about.....How does the media contribute to our problems?
You can believe FoxNews and other Rightwing outlet Lie as the problems.. I don't think Lies are the problem..Lies have a way of sorting themselves out..

what does ALL media do.. what do we do here that has been effected by our view of the media? That has absolutely, no bearing on solving our problems?

Other than election day.. the media tells us who's winning and who's losing.
How crazy is that?
One day the Republican lose..one day the Democrats lose.. the media keep a running scoreboard. The Politics becomes a game.
A game that if one believes.. their side should win.....everybody loses.. the idea that Democrats or Republicans can only represent US is absurd. There is NO WINNING on that basis.

You don't know me..and I don't know you..
What i know is YOU are the one trying to win. I respond to that and somehow that makes me know you, or trying to defeat you. Our conversation here, identify the problem..
Trytwice... doesn't matter..

"I know you people will never get it, but let me tell you what COULD really going on."..

I see US politics as stuck in this never-ending push-pull, us and them .....Just those 2 parties forever going up and down on a perpetual see-saw.......I'm so bored with it.....Nothing new, ever.....It's like watching clothes in a dryer.......and when they're finally dry, they are just the same old clothes.........

And it's all looking inward at the US, as if the rest of the world doesn't exist, except to send coloured poor people to storm America's borders.......The megalomania is exhausting and wearing on one's sympathies.......The perpetual America Spin Cycle......

YES, exactly
But you don't have to live here and suffer the slow death.

Politically in the US.. it may seem to be turning fast .. with the likes of a Trump..
but it really isn't.... WE use to be a country that was the champion..We had many challenges to overcome..and many challengers.. but that's what We Did...We defended ourselves..
It became our way of life, defeating the challengers..who needed defeating

The Twentieth Century was ours.. from a fledgling to world champions...A funny thing happened along the way..We had no more REAL challengers.. So we invented them...Until we could no longer recognize what are the REAL CHALLENGES.

World War II, Nazism, and Communism ended when the Berlin wall came tumbling down. they were no longer challenges.
Countries. like Canada, Australia, Japan And some in Europe that once were allies, but thought of as satellites.. became more like partners.. Which wasn't welcomed.. and in our warped sense of champions.. were more like adversaries.

We created the Muslim world, and the Osama Bin Ladens, China, and the New Russia. But the problem was they weren't in our weight class. Lightweights taking on the Heavyweight Champion.
There was a time we would paid them no mind..as challengers. We always had bigger fish to fry

After we created the adversarial LIE..It should have been a foregone conclusion, that the final adversary.. was going to have be ourselves..A challenger we can't defeat.. without defeating ourselves

The world is funny place...where it's challenges evolved as the planet shrinks, and communication increase..It became one life raft for All of US.. We could once control our "mutual destruction".. Now we can't even see it coming....We now are in position we can't meet those challenges.
Climate change, pandemics, immigration, starvation, poverty... and most of all Truth and lies.

We were NEVER the Champions were thought we were.. But It was nice while it lasted. We thought with the tide we controlled.. We could raise all ships... but now the only thing is our power is to "raze" all ships.
