ignorance is strength
“the screen is us and we’re t.v. “
an all too familiar tale, re-told and sold as something new and refreshing, a fresh take on a stale yarn that leaves a satisfied feeling of fellowship and opposition, an affirmation of the black and the white, and acumen in knowing how this storybook ending ends. alas, reality is not fiction and that “stinking, shitty little war we have running over there” hasn’t spun the way it was said it would. individual observation has been replaced with a virtual understanding of the world, a multimedia fashioned state of mind in which there is no experience save a fantastic digestion of the platonic form of an experience. true social networks shrink while virtual networks explode, language becomes truncated grunts of code pregnant with meaningless meaning and people around the world die as the force of force is exerted since a political solution cannot be had without a coersion…justified and accepted as moral imperative. the entire mesopotamian mess is the outcome of the lack of reality american’s on the top of the mountain to it’s foot now live in and their acquiescence to view the world not through experience but vicariously via video. what a tragedy that the world over fantasy impacts the immutable reality of the others.
