Things I Think About #004

<h1 style="text-align: center;"><em>The Hivemind</em></h1>
<p>I've been giving a lot of thought to how one-sided my view of the world might be and how it seems to be the same for a lot of us. We basically live in this hyperreal world and the spectacle around us gives us a simulated form of reality. Nothing can be completely trusted.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><em>"Whenever I tune into the news or read articles, I know it's only the tip of the iceberg I'm being allowed to see there. Ironically."</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p><br />The internet is pretty much the same; the average user can only access about 4% of the data that exists on it. <em>4%</em>. And most of even that is filtered by Google.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><em>"Google tells you that there are millions of search results, but proceeds to turn around and only give you about 30-50 pages max of them."</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>The remaining ones are supposedly "duplicates" ...Really, Google? I think that if we could see what is really there, we might see things a little differently.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><em>"We are not meant to see behind this diluted version of the internet. Why?"</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>I know a lot of us see a world in which multi-national corporations decide what people can think or feel, as somewhere far off in some techno-dystopic future. But the truth is, it's already here, it's physically a part of us because of all the devices which we have present with us at <em>ALL TIMES.</em></p>
<p>And the next stop right after that, is the bio-tech which goes under our skin. There are already plans for technology which connects our cells to the internet through nanobots.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><em>"It would mean the end of individual consciousness and birth of the hivemind."</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p><br />... But these things don't somehow end up in mainstream news anywhere. Meanwhile, enormous amounts of money are being poured into those unnatural projects. There is an attempt at trying to gain physical control over our minds.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><em>"When this finally happens "thinking wrong" won't just be a crime, it will be physically impossible."</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>We are going towards a world where we can't even know where our reality ends and the simulated world begins. And nobody is really doing anything about this.</p>
<p>Or maybe, we are already there and I'm only writing this because the simulation allows it and gives me the illusion of existing as an individual entity with my own thoughts.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><em>"I'll write a bit more on this... if the matrix allows."</em></p>
