Listening to reality

I write more on this site when I am consciously listening to messages that the universe/ reality / my higher self are manifesting in my life

I generally keep my eyes open for new phrases and Memes that I see in the media and in my day to day activities.

I then feed these through some randomized processes so that novel new ideas take form.
In the last week I have been very tied up with work so I have not seen a lot of novel content to expand on.

I just installed the digg app on the iPhone today just to see what the quality of content being highlighted on there was like these days. It was not good.

The top articles are very mildly amusing photos and articles with punchlines that have been heard a million times before. The rest are just rehashes and lists of facts that have been on the net for years. It seems as if nearly all the novel content available to people has been written down and indexEd online.

I don’t really believe this to be the case however. I think there is still great complexity and novelty on the edges, but it is getting more uncomprehending by those at the the cultural centre.

Twitter and the clones

Twitter is the psyche of the monoculture- the trending topics and public walls all get people thinking down the same lines. They don’t just call them followers for nothing.

Everyone wants the world to conform to their image, but are endlessly bored when this occurs. The ego wants to stand out and be special, but the minute it does it starts to want everyperson and thing to be like it as well.

The process is good for producing cult followers, disciples, employees and citizens, but ultimately not good for the psyche of the creator. It leads to ultimate dissatisfaction and boredom.

You win the battle but lose the war, because as the smoke clears you see an army of clones, armed with your own memes advancing towards your position
