The more answers I look for, the more questions I end up with.
My latest moment of wtf, this afternoon was suddenly understanding that Psyops can actually only work in a democracy. What is Democracy? I see it as Mob rule. How do Mobs rule? Manipulation with fear. What does a psyop’s do???
Psyops depend on the community to carry them into life, which can’t occur with out a free speaking public, or a democracy. This matters more than one might think at first. I believe we are being trapped in another psyops when it comes to AI and tech, and I think they have weaponized democracy to move society in the directions they desire… into the adoption and dependence on tech.
Which then leads me to what are they trying to make us fear most? AI. Don’t get me wrong, I’m no fan of it at all and that keeps me fairly occupied in resisting it but today I now realize that AI isn’t the threat, the Data Centre’s” are, and that is what they keep us too busy to focus on.
Which takes us to the tech. It didn’t start with some guys in a garage. It started with the Pentagon. In Part I of this series, Anna Bocca traces the secret military money, Cold War contracts, and winner-takes-all ideology that built Silicon Valley, and explain how that DNA still shapes Google, Apple, and the AI race today.
It is not new. The history of technology has always been the history of the military and war.
Maybe, just maybe I’m noticing too much. Carl Jung has some thoughts about what happens to people who notice too much, and potential dangers.
It’s going to be a ride folks, buckle up!
