truth, beauty, freedom, and... love

 But, but tell me, that ending does not uphold the Bohemian ideals of truth, beauty, freedom, and... love

Well I can tell you one thing for sure

Social Media or even plain Media does NOT

uphold the Bohemian ideals of truth, beauty, freedom, and... love

"The medium is the message" 

McLuhan proposes that a communication medium itself, not the messages it carries, should be the primary focus of study. He showed that artifacts such as media affect any society by their characteristics, or content.

Social Media is nothing close to Truth, Beauty, Freedom or Love.

It is a world of sickening sycophants, 

of blocking, ghosting, 

eliminating all forms of dissension 

all attempt to bring a narcissistic view to plain reality/truth. 

It is the absolute opposite of therapy in fact.

It is one little kingdom of grand delusion.

It is noticeable even more on group pages where one would not even have a handful of friends on his page but now has thousands of captured viewers for his little soapbox of sad loneliness.

I always get back to these short reels to attract new disciples for all the tiny gurus of this planet how have shite to sell.

This modern Areopagus is utterly sickening

(I better get my thesaurus out now but yeah Sartre's La nausée comes to mind here)

Back then all one had to suffer in a big city was some cunt with a megaphone who was luckily out of hearing after a few blocks.

Now they are everywhere: insipid and loud and numerous.

A strange strange society now, some sort of a reverse democracy where minorities have all the power and majorities are too scared shitless to do anything about it.

A handful of stand up comedians try to stand against it at their own peril of being "cancelled" themselves. 

A world of McCarthyism where one can have his life and revenue utterly ruined for one word one said many years ago before all this madness began

because madness is what this is:

some sort of mass psychosis 

and I won't live long enough to see the end of it but for fuck's sake it has to end one day 

one would like to dream that common sense will prevail one day instead of a mass hysteria of headless sheep.

Which pretty well answers the question I was asking myself on a subject I don't care much about but this vote coming in Australia about giving a minority again a bigger voice well I will have to say No to that even though I think this so called democracy is a huge delusion really.

It's kind of funny in a way because it lines me up with 2 people I can't stand LOL: Howard and Abbott.

O well I won't be distraught if it goes on either

we're back to Salomon and  Farrokh Bulsara aka Freddie Mercury here who wisely said:

Vanity of Vanities, All is  Vanity. 

(someone translated it as futility and another as spitting in the wind) and

Nothing really matters, anyone can see

Nothing really matters

Nothing really matters to me

And let's not forget the other great prophet now:

Don Henley

"Relax, " said the night man

"We are programmed to receive

You can check-out any time you like

But you can never leave!"

WE ARE ALL JUST PRISONERS HERE OF OUR OWN DEVICE.
