Many of you know that most of my posts on fridays and near the weekends usually verse around music and that kind of stuff mainly. And yeah, probably I'll post one of those later too. But for now, I want to share a couple of things with you first before putting you to stomp your feet.
A few hours ago I read an article by about the effects of Social Media in our modern life. And as he says, all the intellectual onanism, attention-seeking, and all kinds of ridiculous immature shit we long to get while staying in these newfangled digital stages.
I've written before about how much we enjoy the ongoing addictions to that synthetic digital dopamine currently provided by our contemporary belief systems, within that collective unconscious, fed through the mercenary laboratories of artificial echo chambers. Artificial echo chambers created to exploit our weaknesses towards adulation, flattery and praise. The new brothels of the century XXI to 'buy' an easy smile whilst hoping for an epic intercourse.
And even more when they take advantage of our naivety and ignorance that while more we allow them deceptively massage our egos, more we fill 'their pockets' with money and filthy wealth in exchange of our precious time and by that short-alive sensation of feeling us High, Baked & Lit thru those ephemeral doses of likes, thumb ups, ¿upvotes? and fake attention which only reverberates amplifying and reinforcing our pre-existing views with pure confirmatory bias. A novel version of The Monte Carlo fallacy.
So, today I'm not what I think I am. I'm not what you think I am. I am what I think you think I am.
Our thinking about ourselves are nothing other than the sum of what we and others think about us. That's how our belief system usually develops.
For example, never has happened to you that someone suddenly is staring at you and immediately you check if anything is wrong with the way you look. Any hair out of place, any unmatched clothing, a piece of meatball hanging from your mustache, your beard or your tie, yeah crazy stuff like that? 🤔 C'mon, I've see you!
Yeah! until that moment you thought you looked fine. But you indeed are not what you think you are. What affects you most is neither what you think of yourself nor what other persons actually thinks about you but what you "presume" they think of you.
"The Human Mind Is Social"
The child learns that the symbol of their crying will elicit a response from his/her caregivers, not only when they are in need of necessities such as food or a diaper change, but also when the child is In Need Of Attention.
So, as my good friends &
also would write when they aboard these social subjects each time they've mentioned the phrase 'echo chamber' through the eloquent & coherent prose in their thought provoking articles and also as the ultimate summary of this post, I'm gonna ask you:
«-.W.T.F.-»
Yeah! you catched it dear. Of course that means: ¡'Wow That's Fun'!
