Social Media Slavery?

Create your own algorithm

Making billions using your brain

Should a Chinese company own TikTok - the social media platform that has the most influence over two or three generations? Or should it be owned by American oligarchs who could operate it the way Musk operates Twitter? Sorry Elon, “X” is a silly name.

Do we really live in a matrix ?

Those questions are less important than whether and how we as a society begin to control the algorithms that feed rage instead of truth. ALL the social media platforms boost lies, conspiracy theories and rage in order to retain our eyeballs…so they can harvest our personal details and preferences. Which are sold to advertisers. It’s a brilliant business model but it feeds our darkest natures and angry impulses.

I suspect that governments across the world will make attempts to regulate this highly destructive - out of control - money grubbing corporate takeover of our consciousness. As usual, the EU will probably take the lead. But it will be clumsy and certainly challenged in the courts. Keep in mind that the money grubbers have many billions to protect their Frankensteins. The law firms are drooling at the opportunities.

Be there, Vote Blue, No matter Who

We just have our free will and votes. Will we use them effectively enough to reign in the titans of this diabolical dystopian scheme to monetize our every thought or impulse? And will we wake up and reclaim the money they have harvested?

We could do it peacefully

Oh well, it’s a really tough world. I know many of us are beginning to feel like peasants - serfs in this New Feudalism. Perhaps enough of us will look up from our phones, snap the tether of the Industrial Scale Invasion of our Brains - and rebel.

But for now let’s just look on the bright side…

Sing along if you wish!

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best
And

Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the light side of life

If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle, that's the thing
And

Always look on the bright side of life
(Come on)
Always look on the right side of life

For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow
Forget about your sin
Give the audience a grin
Enjoy it, it's your last chance anyhow

So always look on the bright side of death
A just before you draw your terminal breath

Life's a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughin' as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you
And

Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the right side of life
(C'mon Brian, cheer up)
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the bright side of life

Always look on the bright side of life

I mean, what have you got to lose?
You know, you come from nothing
You're going back to nothing
What have you lost? Nothing

Always look on the right side of life

Nothing will come from nothing, ya know what they say
Cheer up ya old bugga c'mon give us a grin (Always look on the right side of life)…
