Burned-out autistic. The USA society has adopted hate + mob mentality values, technology lust + dehumanization. It seems like media ecology teaching 1980/90's need more attention in 2026 "Amusing Ourselves to Death" WakeIndra.com /!\ https://1776Wake.com

Dr. John Harvey Kellogg managed the world-renowned Battle Creek Sanitarium in Michigan from 1876 to 1943, where he popularized an extreme, "cult-like" wellness lifestyle known as "biologic living". While he was a devout Seventh-day Adventist rather than a typical cult leader, public fascination labels his movement a "cult" due to his bizarre health practices, severe anti-sex crusades, and obsessive bowel treatments. #Shit #BowelMovements
Lyrics: "When the feeling calls, how we drown in stylistic audacity" "our #job is to get, is to drop the bucket further down the well than anybody else to understand what are those really deep-seated underlying fears, concerns. There is no good fighting an election campaign on the facts because actually it's all about emotion." - Mark Turnbull. Geopolitical communications strategist. Managing director of the political division of Cambridge Analytica
#Round #RoundSparrow #SkywalkerRanchMetaphorUniverse : "The #circle, on the other hand, represents totality. Everything within the circle is one thing, which is encircled, enframed. That would be the spatial aspect. But the temporal aspect of the circle is that you leave, go somewhere, and always come back. God is the alpha and the omega, the source and the end. The circle suggests immediately a completed totality, whether in time or in space." - Published year 1988
"We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while” ― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark. Year 1995 #RealityReal Everyone knows FIFA players, sports scores, actor names, video games, reality TV celebrity, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Spider-Man, Donald Trump diapers, Sponge Bob scenes... People know entertainment amusements. People avoid real world real reality.
#GetAwayWithIt “We've arranged a global civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology. We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.” ― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark. Year 1995. . Carl Sagan first wrote professionally about planetary greenhouse effects and atmospheric heating in his 1960 Jet Propulsion Laboratory technical report, “The Radiation Balance of Venus,” followed by his 1961 paper in Science. He first explicitly warned about human-induced global warming on Earth in public media around 1980 in his book and TV series Cosmos, and famously testified before the U.S. Senate on December 10, 1985.
#RickRoderickWasRight "in the view of Baudrillard #society has reached a point at which it has literally been overcome by its #technology and the new and #important issues aren’t about, ah, things like the non-believer or the non-offender, but about the non-person. In the world of Baudrillard social relations have disappeared between humans, because #humans have begun to disappear. In fact Baudrillard thinks that reality itself is in the process of disappearing. The real. What has been learned and understood under the name of “the real”. All these outrageous things I have just said are worked out in a brilliant series of, ah, books" Duke University Year 1993 Rick Roderick

Year 1951: “The misleading effect of books like George Orwell's 1984 is to project into the future a state of affairs that already exists.” ― Marshall McLuhan, The Mechanical Bride : Folklore of Industrial Man.

https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/1vi2r6h/youtubes_ai_slop_detector_incorrectly_targets/p2a0ivo/ #RCC1908 youtube will never detect all AI slop. slop gets better every day, and eventually it will be indistinguishable from real content. In some genres, thats already the case. Instead, they should just focus on recommending content *I* like. If the slop is so dull I don't like watching it, they shouldn't recommend it.
"networked information architectures designed to exploit evolutionary flaws in our cognition? Do we really want to live in a “gamified” environment that engineers our obsessions and plays with our lives as if we are inside its game?” ― Christopher Wylie, Mindf*ck: Cambridge Analytica and the Plot to Break America, chapter 12 "Revelations", page 235, year 2019 #FWakePage235 #FWakeP235
“But the one great shocking occasion, when tens or hundreds or thousands will join with you, never comes. That’s the difficulty. If the last and worst act of the whole regime had come immediately after the first and smallest, thousands, yes, millions would have been sufficiently shocked—if, let us say, the gassing of the Jews in ’43 had come immediately after the ‘German Firm’ stickers on the windows of non-Jewish shops in ’33. But of course this isn’t the way it happens. In between come all the hundreds of little steps, some of them imperceptible, each of them preparing you not to be shocked by the next. Step C is not so much worse than Step B, and, if you did not make a stand at Step B, why should you at Step C? And so on to Step D. And one day, too late, your principles, if you were ever sensible of them, all rush in upon you. The burden of self-deception has grown too heavy, and some minor incident, in my case my little boy, hardly more than a baby, saying ‘Jewish swine,’ collapses it all at once, and you see that everything, everything, has changed and changed completely under your nose. The world you live in—your nation, your people—is not the world you were born in at all. The forms are all there, all untouched, all reassuring, the houses, the shops, the jobs, the mealtimes, the visits, the concerts, the cinema, the holidays. But the spirit, which you never noticed because you made the lifelong mistake of identifying it with the forms, is changed. Now you live in a world of hate and fear, and the people who hate and fear do not even know it themselves; when everyone is transformed, no one is transformed. Now you live in a system which rules without responsibility even to God. The system itself could not have intended this in the beginning, but in order to sustain itself it was compelled to go all the way.” ― Milton Sanford Mayer, They Thought They Were Free: The Germans 1933-45. Published year 1955.

The misinformation machine seems unstoppable at this point. Even if Dems prevail in November and in 2028, these stupid ppl are still going to be out there pissed off and fired up about a decade of lies from the leader of their cult. We as a nation are far, far from away from being normal again.
The Reddit simulation of anti-Trump and the Twitter pro-Trump worship is so much more thrilling to modern smartphone users. Any time day or night Truth Social stimulates the simulations into commenting activity. The biggest bamboozle in all human history, a total abandonment of real every hour of every day. Such a complex sophisticated mess!
The last thing people want to face in USA is sober reality of Dr. Bandy X Lee’s 27 leaders since year 2017. The show must go on! Nobody wants to face up to Donald Trump mental disorders with smart leaders. Everyone is drunk on memes and drunk on Trump’s power tripping. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandy_X._Lee Technology fantasy on home media devices is Trumpism.
» All media work us over completely. They are so pervasive in their personal, political, economic, aesthetic, psychological, moral, ethical, and social consequences that they leave no part of us untouched, unaffected, unaltered. The medium is the message. Any understanding of social and cultural change is impossible without a knowledge of the way media work as environments. « March 1967 Marshall McLuhan University of Toronto . Trump understands: "And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything." - September 2005. Donald J. Trump
"And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything." - September 2005. Donald J. Trump. #TrumpProven #StandUpForTheBigGuy And when you're an ultrastar, your audience will hyper-normalize anything. You can do anything. #DonaldTrumpUltraStar Social media moderators will even censor The Little Guy to stand up for The Ultra Star, Ultimate Big Guy! Free speech was never a problem for rich wealthy media systems owners. Free speech is about standing up for the unpopular Little Guy, not the stars with starstruck cults.
#UltraDumbUSA #YaleUniversity #Sexism #Women The #father #fathers in USA are teaching their children #daughter #daughters that if they grow up and go to university and work really really hard - We The People will not listen to you. Every person in the world with WWW access has ignored Dr. Bandy X Lee's 27 leaders since year 2017. Smart woman consistently ignored.
#MenOfPower If #Iran #Russia #Palestine #Israel #Taliban #China or some other group or nation kills one of the Trump family then that could be the final trigger to turn on the ultra-hot war. We are so far beyond "false flag" fact-checking and reality. People seek fiction. #AttractionToFiction - real facts will not matter. Even a travel accident can trigger Trump cults. These are men itching to prove their testosterone treatments are working. These are men craving the attention of women in the cults. This is a Fox News programmed nation with Truth Social spiced augmented anti-reality. Men in the USA lost their hearts and minds to Surkov students since year 2013. The USA predatory leaders and cults are itching to prove that power and wealth is all that matters. An aggressive destructive demonstration. All ignored Dr. Bandy X Lee since year 2017.
#WhiteMale #WhiteMen #WhiteSkin #WhiteMan In the USA - being a white man is toxic poison. There is so much #billionaire #FWakeMonoMythMindFuck #MonoMythMindFuck There is so much mental manipulation against white men by billionaires in year 2026 it is constant mental programming (media encoded) to follow Murdoch, Trump, Musk badness #Cults
#ReadyPlayerALP ??? #ReadyPlayerAnnaLiviaPlurabelle #Female "Of course, in biblical times, when the Hebrews came in, they really wiped out the Goddess. The term for the Canaanite goddess that’s used in the Old Testament is “the Abomination.” Apparently, throughout the period represented in the Book of Kings, for example, there was a back and forth between the two cults. Many of the Hebrew kings were condemned in the Old Testament for having worshiped on the mountaintops. Those mountains were symbols of the Goddess. And there was a very strong accent against the Goddess in the Hebrew, which you do not find in the Indo-European mythologies. Here you have Zeus marrying the Goddess, and then the two play together. So it’s an extreme case that we have in the Bible, and our own Western subjugation of the female is a function of biblical thinking."
“Half the people in the world think that the metaphors of their religious traditions, for example, are facts. And the other half contends that they are not facts at all. As a result we have people who consider themselves believers because they accept metaphors as facts, and we have others who classify themselves as atheists because they think religious metaphors are lies.” ― Joseph Campbell, Thou Art That: Transforming Religious Metaphor #MonoMythToMonoMyth /\

https://www.reddit.com/r/PopCultureV2/comments/1vdzanw/ben_affleck_on_overcoming_alcohol_addiction_i/p1dbbf7/ My mom's rock bottom was death. She lost everything, literally everything. Became homeless and had nothing. She once had a great career, a house with an ingroound pool, multiple nice cars. I hate the phrase rock bottom because I feel like a lot of people just don't have one. Some people just get fed up with the life and make a choice to get better, which is amazing and I have so much admiration for them. Also, I know I'm being pedantic about a phrase because of my own life experiences, I don't need anyone to argue. It's just how I feel and I know it's stupid.
Again, I'm not of mad at Trump. He is exactly who everyone knew he is. It's the people who continue to support him that I find to be contemptible in the equation. I just can't imagine after a decade of reading garbage, still thinking "yup! That's our guy!"
this is what the person you’re responding to is getting at. how about we talk about his policy, how he treats people, the epstein files etc. there are numerous things to talk about besides fantasizing about him crapping his pants. it just makes it seem like you’re not intelligent enough to talk about real issues

Here is how 17 year old boys have been raised by #parents to deal with relationship crisis: 1. If your girlfriend becomes difficult or abusive, rapidly shut that down: instantly block her from all media systems and contact 2. Then when the confused or #sick girlfriend in a vulnerable mental state is taken advantage or being abused by predatory men, she is blocked. . That's how USA treats the MAGA crisis since July 6, 2011 1. Rupert Murdoch + Donald Trump manipulate the minds of adults to become abusive and racist 2. Block the people who are victims of Trump Murdoch mental abuse. 3. As things get worse year after year, there is no longer anyone to reach out to for rehabilitation and recovery from Fox News cult.
https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/1vdjo99/hhs_secretary_rfk_jr_goes_absolutely_bonkers_and/p19xvun/ I had that same conversation with a co-worker of mine during COVID. They said it was fake to make trump look bad. I told him "let me get this straight - all of Europe, Africa, China, Japan, North Korea, South Korea, Israel, Mexico, South America, almost every country on Earth, is faking this whole thing, just to make the American president look bad?" For a few seconds they laughed and said "yeah, that would be crazy to believe." Like 5 seconds of their brain working. Then they snapped right back into the cult mentality.
This administration will be remembered for generations for how comedically villainous every single character in it was and how so many Americans willingly voted for these cartoon level bad guys. I’m ashamed. Our grandchildren are going to think we are dumber than rocks, and frankly, they won’t be half wrong.
