“But in Huxley’s vision, no Big Brother is required to deprive people of their autonomy, maturity and history. As he saw it, people will come to love their oppression, to adore the technologies that undo their capacities to think.”
Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death

II. The Poison I have no interest in digital existence, artificial intelligence - the virtual insanity of life devoid of life, damned convenience, diluted reality, or the social mechanization and dehumanization of fragmented lives mobilized by smug, self-exalting puppeteers whose pontifications and desecrations soil the common good - disturbers of the peace, haters of truth, spinners of yarns in whose tangled web we struggle like flies.
Parts three and four will be released over the next two days. Part one was released 2/21/23.
