analyzing the current world bubble riding this frequency's wavelengths...
i thought my scope on personality types was limited because i'm still relatively young and not long out of the isolated American youth culture and the bias that comes with it.... but, as i'm getting older and growing out of the pre-school social interactions of a quarter-century, i'm realizing that folks 25-70 years in age are all categorical re-interpretations of the same basic lot i've already experienced... ... some dull, some keen, but all-the-same "capable" people, making irrational choices often to much detriment... as (morality AND intelligence) deprived as most primetime television is, i understand that it appeals to the masses because it is a mirror... the media-market exists for those that can't get over themselves...
townies, professionals, nouveau riche, intelligentsia, old money, counter-culturists, etc... all alike, just riding different snakes writhing in rhythm.
this raises questions though... do popular thought and the media mold us through fate of script and analysis by power of suggestion, or do we manifest ourselves in the media because it is our common will and we continually accept the cycle of an idea we sold ourselves?
then i'm lead to wondering if the state of the globe is a manifestation of human will... i mean, perception is the universe crammed in a small funnel, but it "seems" that things are generally so awful because we actually want it since we are in fact accepting it... no matter the group or history-- we are greed; we are consumption... we only exist now because of a very long pattern of life being any thing that will compete for resources to sustain its self or its own... the concept has worked incredibly well so far, but demand, as life is, is infinite and resources are ever more limited as we further envelop our cradle...
believe it or not, we're incredibly susceptible to suggestion... millions of us begrudgingly give a fourth or more of our precious lives to the government willingly at its vastly-unquestioned request... now i wonder if people would approach a simple request to do something both significant and pleasant on a massive scale with suspicion and apprehension because it's so foreign an idea...
your DNA tells your cells what to do, and for the most part, your cells do it... stomach cells are not skin cells, but they're still operating in concert... hell, not even all stomach cells are the same, but they still function for the same purpose... it works because the master plan is present in each individual... a network is only sustained by its ability for fast dissemination of information, so networks with omnipresent information are quite the gem...
with as connected as the world is now, i think it would be possible to supercede cultures and governments that rely on popular media to maintain communiqué in command protocol with infectious, rhyzomatic behavior by masking and slowly introducing the notion and actions of "we for the benefit of we" through popular media channels and the internet... marketing that sells you the idea of trading your time for money for consumables (i'd rather not say "goods") and services works for some reason or another... in this, i hope the idea of trading only a little of one's time and effort to do something unusual for the opportunity to participate in humanity's largest chorus and feel the power of a unified voice as something tremendously positive is achieved...
all it takes is a simple decision to say "no more" at the same time as many others... the loudest voice is heard, and quantities of frequencies increase amplitude...
we're all in the same boat,
we all exist on the same wave crest...
"take off your skin, and dance around in your bones..."
perhaps not to be mistaken for something other than maniacal...
and this grand foray makes me wonder still... this act, this massive surrender of the self, it doesn't last... i wonder if there is some subconscious agent at work in us all that prevents one from being part of a group mentality chord for too long... why do progressive movements end? at what point do people get lazy after attaining such high ideals? i don't know if the culprit is the shepard or the sheep that let him lead them... maybe the network is slowly dissolved as people aren't reminded of higher values each day, dooming us to repeat our mistakes, our history, infinitely...
or do we actually approach a level of communion with fellow humans that is unbearable because it stings from the loss of individuality? having experienced the dissolution of the self, i can say that while enlightening, it was also deathly frightening...
i return to ponder...
