That schedule demanded by Work treats us as nothing worth the time it would take to reach beyond what work makes of us because IT needs us to remain only as that.... The world of screwing the world — as it has made things and we-as-things that maintain those things — be sleighted if human relationships "get in the way"? The duty to produce and the desire to create are NOT the same. The former is a dehumanizing inversion of the latter. [cf. Raoul Vaneigem's book, The Revolution of Everyday Life availed for free online at the Point of Departure web site.]
We have
We have no idea if our intended "communication" recipient(s) has/have tossed away our email or have even received it. Today, it is often what people "on the go" do with email that is not "work-related". I have heard book-authors — a dying breed since "readers" today are manufactured for cynical and focus-incapable "hit-and-run", "sound-byte", "reductionist", and "drive-by" thinking these daze — describing how their kids treat phone calls and email from them the same way, usually only responding (without passion and with an uncaring terseness) to text messages.
The phenomenon is a behavior swing away from body language, facial expressions, voice inflection, eye contact, and all direct human[e] contact into one defined by machines, contracts, and their machine-like usage.
So, I do not see anything at all about the internet as freeing, liberatory, or humanizing at all any more. The potential got flushed when the once-free access to it got price-tagged, and when liars and spies were given the free access to our liberties on it. It is now just a trap.
Reading a book was once an independent and liberating act. No more. Fahrenheit 451, Nineteen Eighty-four (by the anti-Fabian, George Orwell), and Brave New World (the Fabian government agent bastard, Aldous Huxley) have all been conjoined by the current "elite" and their manager class puppets, combining what they learned from backing their three WWII experiments (Welfarism, Nazism, Stalinism) into the New World Order nightmare "elephant" as felt by so many "blind men".
Being spied upon is all-pervasive and the data channel is all that technology is geared for. "Man's ability to fashion and make use of tools" has been privatized and weaponized against humanity. To achieve that, all human history required owning humanity away from its own evolutionary tendencies. We are now herded and domesticated... food, slaves, fodder, servants at best.
Our "lot in" where "life" might have been is to be spied upon, that is, objectified and data-ized. When or after doing anything the data of that act is extracted in order to better subjugate. It is the means and ends of the State and its "elite" owners, whom together enforce the "society" they find most self-beneficial upon 99.99% of humanity and 100% of life or space-time on "their" Earth.
It's tracked and scanned as the movement of human "merchandise", as organic "property", as investment "flesh" wandering their terrain of debt.
It is now "their business" who I am or may become:
- what I read on the web is "owned" by holding sites hostage without submission to cookies;
- what I say (and with whom) in "private" phone conversations, and in "private" face-to-face conversations in a privatized "public" arena, is captured instantaneously by surveillance cameras, and both are dynamically-filtered through audio-recognition, translation, image-recognition, and lip-reading filters on (offshore therefore "legal") NSA supercomputers which extrapolate and interpolate where I have been and where I will go next;
- where I "am" at any time (using satellite-tracking of GPS transceivers built into the nanotagging air I breathe, the food I eat, the "medicine" I am injected with, etc.;
- "IT" — the political-economic theft of "all that is not nailed own" and the entropic banalization of all that cannot be weaponized against or held for ransom over "humanity" — owns all of the inorganic devices I use, whose very "use" subjugates my life into "lifestyle" and propertied gestures.
- cars have cutoff switches controllable by satellite;
- people actually pay to have GPS units direct them to the nearest work camp, toxin trough, re-education hospital, police station, or final resting place;
- cell phones have ringtones that sing songs about the cancer they're giving the dumbified user of that phone, while also charging the person on the other end of the line several times over with fees, taxes, and insurance;
- RFID "threads" built into tires, clothing, etc. broadcast the THX1138-like debit-credit balance of their wearer, steering them always towards captivity;
- viewer-viewing cameras and listener-listening microphones built into cell phones and HDTV sell our cage-pacing back to the seen and heard as "reality" shows.
The death is not rapid, like so many conspirators forsee. The war of all against all is protracted and invisible to the disaster-spectacle blinded "all". Its soldiers are also its wounded. The bleeding is steady, like a debt-incurring hospital bed. Sure, when the debt is not paid back fast enough by the captured and future-captured generation, then "the plug" may be pulled.
It's like a gunfight. Will they "pull the plug" on us before we "pull the plug" on them? They hired the "fastest guns in the West", but there are more of us on the rooftops, behind the barrels, in the shadows. We have to organize so that we coordinate "the shot". They have to split us up. That is the current phase of "the [class] war".
