Lies, Fakes, Chicanery!

The mainstream media reports on news that has many layers of truth, but the accuracy to actual events that occur in reality is quite off. Even when viewing such reporting as entertainment there is still a heavy handed agenda to each and every news item.

Sadly the most accurate reporting occurs in the business sections.

If reality is consensus, the digital realm of entertainment, from a sitcom, to a video game, to the blog post I'm writing, is rapidly becoming the new reality. All we have to do is continue letting these vapid 'conveniences' continue to destroy the world around us.

Scientific progress has become a religion.

And the ultimate conclusion of this religion is a transhumanist-cult society enslaved in a digital heirarchy. We're not too far off. Luckily it does not end this way. The earth is much more powerful a living body than we humans are. And though we may think we run the planet, our consciousness can be thought of as us receiving certain transmissions from the earth. For example, the way we perceive time.

Counter this intuitive-consciousness we (especially in the western world) have developed massive egos. Much of this has been documented as the manipulation of the masses by people such as Edward Bernaise using the theories of Freud and other psychoanalysts in advertising, which has evolved to the point where we are today where war is sold to us much like politics, as this strange pseudo-interactive entertainment that is absolutely necessary for society to function.

The roots of this type of ego can be traced much further back though. The development of the written word is an interesting point as is the even more ancient pictogram. At what point did we become so enslaved by our egos that we felt the need to enslave others? And more importantly, why haven't we abolished slavery yet?
