Summary
The world is coming to an end … an end I cannot predict, but that it will end in something utterly evil and mad, is now a certainty. And, there is no way to stop it.
That is my analysis. I do not enjoy making it. I hate the conclusion, but everything now seems to be in place for this doom loop to occur.
Introduction
We all known that fashions and fads exist from the clacker balls of long ago, to this year’s fad that “orange” or “dull grey” is the “in” colour. We know that such baseless ideas are spread by the media and that most people get caught up with them to some extent … as even the things we buy get changed to suit the latest and utterly pointless “fashion”.
So, the fact that people get persuaded to go along with fashionable ideas is hardly revolutionary. We see it in foods … this year’s health food is some shrivelled up fruit. Or this years health fad is colonic irrigation, or some jab. Anyone old enough to live on their own has seen numerous of these fads come and go, and most of us can see they were fads, at least after we’re left with the pointless “new” kitchen gadget that we have no need for and no space for … and finally come to admit that we will never use.
But, that was in the good old days, when we were all being fed very much the same advert across a million or so people. The ads were hugely expensive, and except for “sales” numbers there was no feedback on how the ads were working, nor what it would take to change any individual from a sceptical viewer of the fad to an active user of the fad. Now, through the likes of Google, we are entering the world of individually targetted ads, and individually monitored response. Where google can profile you and everyone who influences you and target them each individually with their own ads, and AI generated “articles” each designed to program your point of view for the huge profit of google and those who pay Google to program people to buy their produce (or accept their genocide).
And, I say “program”, because the level of control with individual ads and monitored response is such, that it is more accurately to describe it as a form of brainwashing. For, once a person is subject to the flow of ads and tailor made AI “articles” and search “results” all designed to channel a person toward a particular sale, not at any one instant … but as a series of small nudge changes in attitude till … the user has no choice but to finally “want” to buy. Everyone, and I will also be one of them, will believe they really did make their “own” choice … a choice that was almost entirely inevitable once you are subject to the deluge of small nudge programming that Google can now inflict on almost everyone on the web, because we are almost all heavy users of the Google marketing drug. And to be fair to Google, they are not the only one who is part of the network of nudge programmers … but even though the world is more complex than “Google is doing it” … the result is the same … the “fads” of the past will look like harmless frolics compared to the Wacho style cult-like brainwashing that marketing is becoming.
Because advertising has become brain washing: brainwashing so effective that it is becoming orders of magnitude more controlling than the advertising that used to create the arguably fairly benign fads of the past.
Condition 2 … lies
However, brainwashing in itself is not “evil”. If the world were run by organisations that were utterly steadfast in their push for truth and honesty and never shirked from telling the truth even when it damaged them … then being brainwashed by such a group isn’t going to harm us. The next condition for the insanity feedback loop, is that those in power believe they not only can, but are justified, in telling lies – or as they will view it “egging the truth” … just a little, from the “truth” they have come to believe from there own brainwashing which also controls them. And, perhaps more importantly, that the “public” agrees that they should lie.
My view on the genocidal Trump cannot be lower. He is evil incarnate as is all those who are part of the genocide of the people of Jesus. Which is particularly evil for anyone calling themselves a “Christian” or a “Jew” for the people of Jesus should be those they wish to protect most. But there is clearly evil in the world and Trump is at its heart.
So, I don’t condemn the BBC’s lying about Trump because I like Trump. Instead, it is simply because the BBC, of all news organisations, has a LEGAL requirement to be honest and at one time it prided itself on that honesty. The rot started with “live Aid” … not because they lied, but because it became acceptable for the BBC to campaign in a blatantly partisan way. That led to partisan reporting and that inevitably led to the constant lying about subjects such as the climate, Trump, Farage, Europe, etc. The BBC news is now a cesspit of lies … and I don’t miss anything by not following it.
Until recently, I assumed people continued to watch, because they had not realised the BBC was constantly lying. Then when the clear evidence of the BBC lying about Trump emerged I faced a horrible reality: THEY KNOW THE BBC IS LYING … but they continue to watch because they think the lying is acceptable.
I’ll repeat that:
because they think the lying is acceptable.
That people lie … is not news. But that it is seen as OK to lie, that is something very new. And, it is a change that has occurred recently. At one time if the BBC were caught lying, the BBC itself would be extremely upset, it would go berserk, trying to restore its reputation, trying to assure everyone that it really cared about the truth. Today, when it gets caught lying it’s as if it was caught speeding in a made up 5mph zone … that everyone knows is daft.
There has always been lying, but only recently has lying by public figures and the media become acceptable … even desirable. (It started with Blair who brought in the culture of US “spin doctors” … now blatantly lying is a part of everyday life and I guess a majority consider it not just acceptable but desirable.
Thus, the second condition for an insanity feedback loop exists: which is “egging the truth”.
The other key condition is the removal of sceptics … the censorship of sceptics. And given how few will be reading this post, there is no need for me to justify my view that scepticism has now been squashed to the extent it barely exists on the internet.
Insanity feedback loops.
When a society has people in power who believe they can lie or “egg the the truth”, when they have total control over the media, to such an extent that they control not just what everyone else sees, but also what they see … both directly and indirectly. And, when a society represses scepticism, there arises a condition where lies get amplified more and more, and without any scepticism to curtail or question the lies, the lies grow so big they would be seen by any right minded person as insane … except almost everyone is caught up.
There are many instances of this occurring especially after the rise of mass media news. It seems changes in technology make us particularly vulnerable to this situation of insanity feedback loops.
Now with the rise of AI to moderate and control discussion, the repression of scepticism and with governments & “psyop” academics that now pride themselves on their lies, we have the perfect conditions for a massive insanity feedback loop which inevitably pushes society to actions that any reasonable person would see as insane. Such as WWIII, or the “killing fields” of Cambodia, concentration camps, burning at the stake, mass forced euthanasia, etc.
Not IF but WHEN
When you have an insanity feedback loop, where there is massive positive feedback of “madness” and total repression of scepticism, it’s not “if” it ends in madness but “when”. The only question is what kind of madness does the insanity take.
Basically, it’s a mathematical certainty that the system is unstable and will fly off to an extreme. It is possible that there might be mechanisms that stop the system flying off to the extreme, but history tells us that repeatedly in the 20th century societies did just that and mass murder and the “killing fields” seem to become regular features. We are now back to the killing fields of Ukraine and Palestine … and history is repeating itself. And, I just do not see the mechanisms, or the mood or even the will to try to stop the conditions that lead to the insanity feedback loop. And, to be fair, why should anyone worry that when they search, they now have AI present them the “consensus” (non-sceptic) sum of all the hard work done by others for free? It’s utopia for the intellectually lazy … and who hasn’t been that at some time?
So, I cannot predict what madness is coming … but I am absolutely sure given the huge “insanity feedback loops” created by controlled social media, that we will look back on Covid, Ukraine, etc. as a relatively benign period.
And, I cannot see a way to stop it … nor with any clear idea what form the madness takes, can I see anyway to avoid it. But, the way things have and are developing, we are absolutely fucked … AND IT IS NO ONE’S FAULT. You create a crazy system … it goes crazy, but unless you understand how craziness can be spread, everyone believes they are immune and that “it won’t happen as I’ll see it happening”. They are wrong!
We all believe we are immune to advertising … until we find ourselves with a useless kitchen gadget that we have absolutely no need for.
I was not immune … I am still not immune … and having been a sceptic since 2003 I must be one of the people most resistant to the craziness that will soon descend. So there isn’t a chance it can be stopped.
The simple truth is that when it happens everyone will go crazy … and more than likely given my history, I will be amongst the first to go adopt the craze … albeit one of the first to realise it was a craze. Because everyone gets caught up, but some may be less caught up or sooner to “see the light”.
The condition that turns and “insanity feedback loop” into an atrocity
Normal marketing aims to change the threshold at which people deem it acceptable to purchase a produce to such a level that they can push someone over the threshold to make a sale. It’s a bit like a canal boat … you change the water level via the lock so it is easy for the boat/person just to carry on as they were and make the purchase. In other words, all barriers to the purchase are slowly eroded so that the resistance to that purchase disappears.
Normal purchases don’t usually require a moral change in values … but the same technique can be used to change the threshold of acceptability not just of items to buy, but ideas to adopt. It could be mass marketing that says it is acceptable to inform on your friends and neighbours as became the norm during the covid nightmare. It could be the change that said giving medication known to cause death was acceptable, during the covid nightmare. It could be the change that said forcing people to take a drug known to cause damage and death, was acceptable.
It could be the change that says “taking a life” is acceptable. Whether that it euthanasia, killing the people of Jesus, or mass murder of the elderly during covid.
When the brainwashing control of Google like organisations are used to change morality so that “black” becomes the new “white”, then the resistance to any mass murder, weather Euthanasia, Palestine or WWIII becomes easy.
That is the condition that is needed to turn an insanity feedback loop into the mass murder of humanity …. because like the Wacko cult that convinced themselves they all had to die, the google brainwashing and insanity feedback with no moral limits can easily result in the mass suicide of humanity.
I don’t say that is what will happen. What will happen is that some obscure idea, perhaps with no obvious evil intent, will spread and begin to justify its own existence with lies and more and more lies and more and more distortion of moral values, those changes in perceived “truth” will then justify another step forward in the lie … because the belief in the lie justifies a greater lie till … what is left has no resemblance to what started … but the result is what anyone viewing the situation from before it started would call “insanity” and if the moral thresholds permit genocide or other mass murder or nuclear war, then it seems pretty inevitable mass murder or deaths of enormous numbers.
And … I can now say, that that outcome is more or less certain.
How to avoid it?
To answer that question I merely ask: Where in the world was safe from the covid hysteria? There might have been some small isolated villages where the people barely scrape a living which was not intruded upon by the covid hysteria, but there is no place in the modern world that did not suffer the same fate.
And, there is no way a person from that modern world … devoid of all contact with the realities of scraping a living off the land, could possibly survive in an isolated village scraping their living off the land. There is no place anyone in the “modern world” could run to and survive.
We could once have attempted to “hide within society”. But, with digital ID about to tag our every utterance on the web, every website we visit, every purchase we make, both online and in every shop (they need total surveillance to maximise the marketing potential). And, with the ability to program politicians and journalists to accept not just digital ID, but the 24/7/360º surveillance we are going to be subject to … there will be no way to hide in that surveillance society.
I would like to say “I have a cunning plan” … except I don’t.
And it gets worse! Everything above was about Google and their ilk’s control over the internet. But now all publishing is about to get the same treatment destroying all the variety and scepticism that we used to get. And the mechanism:
AI IP Theft
Google stole the entire web and convinced the world that its OK to take other people’s IP and give it back as the “one snippet” they were looking for. As a result, people never needed to visit the content creator and so there was no way for them to make profit. Thus given their dominance over all advertising, it became pointless to create and run small websites. Everything was either stolen by Google and delivered as payment free “snippets” with no financial pay to the author by Google and its ilk. Or, if they did not want it … they blocked it. That largely destroyed the web we once had.
Now AI is stealing all the rest of the IP on the web … indeed all the books as well. Because whereas Google could copy the “one snippet” that people sought … before AI it could not copy the entire article. But, now AI is being used to reformat the entire intellectual property of others and create a “new” version that does not need to pay the author or even credit them.
It is blatant theft … done so cheaply that all the profit goes to google and none to the author.
In fact it is simply a way to take the intellectual property of others and pass it off as “Google AI” … the biggest act of plagiarism and biggest theft of property ever seen. So, again Google makes itself rich by stealing the content created by others on the web, but this time, every new author has their content stolen plagiarised by AI and then passed off as a “Google author”. It will be harder for established authors … who are better known and easier for lawyers to defend … if it wasn’t that the attacker is Google …
Within a few years, authors will realise it is pointless producing new books. But, within that time, Google AI will have evolved to such a point that it can go some way to creating new books and new stories … by plagiarising the story lines and mixing them and pretending they are Google Authors.
So, for a few years, people will be besotted by the abundance of “free” and much better written books, that all hit “just the right note” to sell/give to the mass market. And, within those few years, new authors will realise it is a completely pointless waste of time producing a book that is simply going to be stolen by Google AI. And when there is no competition …. everyone will be forced to pay much more for the same content they used to get at the “going rate” for the work, from the author of that work
… and pointless to take Google to court …
when Google can pour into the online media the judge reads everything it knows about the other side … every porn site they visit, every purchase they make, ever internet search they made to get their material. Google, with digitial ID will either know everything about you, or will be able to purchase of the other US corpse all the details of every transaction and engagement you had on the web. And it will have practically limitless pockets, as well as control over all the politicians and be able to get any laws passed it wants.
By the time google has poured its bile into the ear’s of the judge … (Jury if they are still around), there is not a hope in hell of anyone winning a case against Google for the blatant copyright theft.
There will be no point taking Google to court … thus sane new authors will disappear … because it is pointless spending 1-5 years researching a book that is then stolen by Google AI. People might do it once … but they will realise it was very stupid and the book publishing industry will turn into the charity shop highstreet + a few US corpse, that the old internet has become.
So, after destroying the independent web … so that only the big US corpse make money on the internet, and then controlling all social media … Google and its ilk will soon destroy all publishing. And, that also includes a lot of journalism. And the rest will only stay in business if it goes along with the Google profiteering. Which means if they toe the line with whatever madness is “fashionable”.
And, then they will come for TV … it will not stop. The destruction of individuality will not stop as AI is used to create almost all the media content that everyone views. It will become extremely difficult for anyone creative to make a living … because anything created that can be stolen and plagiarised by Google AI will be stolen and plagiarised.
Google AI will constantly churn out variants of the same material plagiarised from all the works it has stolen. But AI cannot create new material … only a variant of what it already has. Thus, after the goldrush of “new” material produced by AI, will come the charity shop highstreet as all publishing tardy sameness with nothing worth reading. The same will happen on TV, video, even games are likely to be hit the same way.
Individuality, new thought, questioning articles and scepticism will have no commercial source of funding and anything resisting the google corpse will be ruthless repressed. And it is all inevitable. The world will become utterly boring … unless your only enjoyment is guessing which player is going to kick a ball into a net … by the AI generated football players (because who needs real football players when you can create them with AI?)
The boring sameness … the repression of variety as Google AI simply churns out the same material into endless sameness pretending to be “different” because there is no money for individuality … is the ideal ground for madness.
Thus the madness, whatever form it takes, cannot be stopped. It is inevitable and from what I have seen, is now unstoppable.
We don’t need AI to be “self aware” for it to destroy the world. We only need it to amplify the ordinary every madness of people and to repress the sceptics to do that.
And just in case you ask: I have NEVER seen sceptical AI. AI is consensus driven not sceptical. Scepticism requires a much much higher intellect than merely finding the “consensus” and unthinkingly regurgitating it.
Conclusion
There is no way to escape the doom loop. There is no way to stop others being caught up in it. I am way to sceptical to be able to let myself “be taken along with it”. The only approach is to “keep below the radar” long enough that it becomes a little bit more obvious what form the doom loop is taking and thus, at that time, to judge whether I have missed anything, that would allow me to escape.
And I say “me” dear reader … because the effectiveness of the pysops will make covid psyops look like amateur hour of the WI. Whereas there were whole communities attempting to resist the blatant illegality and madness of covid … there will be no such communities when the doom loop happens (unless they exist off the internet well in advance). I am not part of a group which resisted covid. So I will not be part of a group that resists the doom loop. Even if I were, there would still be an extremely high chance I will be swept up in the doom loop … and very little chance I will “wake up” soon enough to make my escape.
However at least I have an idea of an idea for a plan …. to keep going, await the inevitable with forbearance …. in the hope that I have the skills to save myself.
Wacko
The obvious thing to do given “the world is coming to an end” … is to form a wacko style self-contained community. And, I put it in those terms, because it is one group trying to cut itself off from the rest. But, the difference this time, is that it is the Wacko community which are running the whole of society. And it is the sane people who don’t want to be part of the death cult who would want to isolate themselves from that death cult.
After covid, I can see there is absolutely no way to stop people falling for the death cult or doomsday loop. Like every previous example of a death cult: Pol pot, Stalin, Moi, Hitler, Netanyahu … anyone who resists is the first to be targetted for death. Resistance is itself a capital crime.
It is stupid to resist … or at least stay and resist. The choices are compliance or escape. But there is now very few places to escape. The world is turning wacko … and all I want is to be able to do my own things perhaps a few bits of home DIY without being told what to do by some authoritarian cult-like fascist or risking being caught in the doom-loop cult-propaganda of Youtube.
