"a lot of what people want isn't news, and we're talking about news sources giving up on their core mission - informing us. Journalism is straying into entertainment" - Drew Curtis, May 2007

P.S. I was there in Bellevue Washington when the Museum of Pop Culture was being developed, running the museum development private social media systems for Paul Allen Group. Neil Postman was still alive and I had time to research anything I wanted while quietly sitting in my office. The nightmare was seeding. NFL sports, NBA team, app empire, fleet of private jets and private cruise ships, the rescue of Apple Computers by Bill Gates and the creation of 99 cents music store iPod culture to come, Dreamworks, Hollywood stars. The creation of a Microsoft cable TV news network like Elon Musk purchasing Twitter or Donald Trump creating "Truth Social" - except Bill Gates (October 7, 1996 was when Fox News went online). The Whole World, Wired World. And beyond the Pale Blue Dot, like Elon Musk SpaceX. Bellevue was the hub to research the hell out of events with AT&T office one floor away from Paul Allen's office, we had datacenter Internet at our desk. Jemi Hendrix, Woodstock 1969 forever. Not this Trumpism MAGA shit. Some of us have not forgotten the Halloween nightmare that hollowed out the intellectual development of young people to be closed-source consumers of computers instead of open souce free thinking rulers of computers. Neil Postman saw it all coming and was teaching.

decide to give up power because people are angry.

People think being angry isn't intentional. Repeating what I said: "social media society should cut out all entertainment consumption"

You are all being played. You are dealing with fiction, war against reality itself that started in late 2012, early 2013. This isn't 1930's Germany. Everything is media ecology.

You are so eager to oil and clean and stroke your guns that you aren't using social media to deal with a war that started on social media in March 2013. You already know that Fox News viewers live in alternate reality, that Elon Musk Twitter consumers live in alternate reality, guns are not going to fix that. Have you learned nothing since the February 2014 invasion of Ukraine? The whole world needs to put down the absurd surreal Donald Trump amusement memes and sober up and assert fact, truth, reality and cult deprogram every member of MAGA. Terrorism comes from people who believe Heaven is a real place after death, MAGA believes in Heaven, you have to cult deprogram this or you get suicide bombers who think they are serving Jesus Trump. You have to stand up for science and real world. Guns do not fix Fox News, if you go blow up the office of Fox News, you will only make their fiction more popular. Fiction itself has to be addressed directly.

You aren't learning about alternate reality and the history of alternate reality warfare. You think a real gun loaded with gunpowder and bullets is going to work in "The Matrix" of fiction anti-reality social media of Donald Trump White House. By not learning and studying information warfare, you have let this go on for over a decade, stroking your gun.

decide to give up power because people are angry.

We The People already gave up power, intellectual power / mental power - it already happened since March 2013 by not taking information war seriously. Repeating... People think being angry isn't intentional. Repeating what I said: "social media society should cut out all entertainment consumption"

 

2019:
"What Cambridge Analytica observed was that when respondents were angry, their need for complete and rational explanations was also significantly reduced. In particular, anger put people in a frame of mind in which they were more indiscriminately punitive, particularly to out-groups. They would also underestimate the risk of negative outcomes. This led Cambridge Analytica to discover that even if a hypothetical trade war with China or Mexico meant the loss of American jobs and profits, people primed with anger would tolerate that domestic economic damage if it meant they could use a trade war to punish immigrant groups and urban liberals.” ― Christopher Wylie, Mindf*ck: Cambridge Analytica and the Plot to Break America, year 2019

 

“The display, which was called 'Can Democracy Survive the Internet?' was dedicated to a 'global election management' company called Cambridge Analytica. Cambridge Analytica claimed to have gathered 5,000 data points on every American voter online: what you liked and what you shared on social media; how and where you shopped; who your friends were... They claimed to be able to take this imprint of your online self, use it to understand your deepest drives and desires, and then draw on that analysis to change your voting behaviour. The boast seemed to be backed up by success: Cambridge Analytica had worked on the victorious American presidential campaign of Donald Trump; it had also run successful campaigns for US Senator Ted Cruz (twice); and others all across Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Latin America.” ― Peter Pomerantsev, This Is Not Propaganda: Adventures in the War Against Reality, 2019

This is not just a story about social psychology and data analytics. It has to be understood in terms of a military contractor using military strategies on a civilian population. Us. David Miller, a professor of sociology at Bath University and an authority in psyops and propaganda, says it is “an extraordinary scandal that this should be anywhere near a democracy. It should be clear to voters where information is coming from, and if it’s not transparent or open where it’s coming from, it raises the question of whether we are actually living in a democracy or not.

Paul and David, another ex-Cambridge Analytica employee, were working at the firm when it introduced mass data-harvesting to its psychological warfare techniques. “It brought psychology, propaganda and technology together in this powerful new way,” David tells me.

В чем заключалась наша идея с Дональдом Трампом?

За четыре года и два дня.. необходимо было пробраться ко всем в мозг и захватить все возможные средства массового восприятия действительности. Обеспечить победу Дональда на выборах президента США. После чего создать политический союз между Соединенными Штатами, Францией, Россией (и ещё рядом других государств) и установить новый мировой порядок.

Четыре года и два дня - это с одной стороны очень большой срок, а с другой очень маленький. Наша идея была безумна, но реализуема.

Для того, чтобы в этом во всем разобраться для начала нужно было "оцифровать" все возможные виды современного человека.

Дональд решил пригласить для этой задачи - специальный научный отдел "Кембриджского университета". Британские учёные из Cambridge Analytica предложили сделать из 5 тысяч существующих человеческих психотипов - "идеальный образ" возможного сторонника Трампа. Затем.. положить этот образ обратно на всё психотипы и таким образом подобрать универсальный ключик к любому и каждому.

Разработка в итоге обошлась Дональду Фредовичу в 5 миллионов долларов. Но! Он получил в свои руки - секретное супер-оружие.

Кто занимался таргетированной рекламой.. поймёт, что это значит.

Помните, сколько всего денег потратили фонды Клинтон и "их сторонники" на кампанию по всему миру? В 5 раз больше, чем Трамп.

Зато, кто вложил в сетевое продвижение в 5 раз больше Хиллари и стал президентом? Тоже Дональд Трамп.

Дальше оставалось только загрузить эти данные в информационные потоки и социальные сети. И мы стали искать тех, кто справился бы с этой задачей лучше других.

В самом начале смельчаков и романтиков было не очень много. Пара хакерских группировок, гражданские журналисты из Викиликс и политический стратег Михаил Ковалев.

Следующим шагом необходимо было разработать систему передачи задач и информации, чтобы никакая гэбуха и АНБ не смогли её спалить.

Как сделать так, чтобы даже люди не говорящие на языке друг друга, могли бы обмениваться информацией быстрее всех, понимать друг друга с полуслова, чувствовать тренды и влиять на их развитие?

На программирование такой системы ушёл примерно год. Ещё год ушёл на тесты и доработку. В итоге. За год с небольшим, мы установили "Медиафильтр" всем, кого успели подтянуть в наш заговор и 18 августа 2015 года открыли портал Трамп-2016.

Even as Marine Corps recruiters promote enlistment as protection for families lacking legal status, directives for strict immigrant enforcement have cast away practices of deference previously afforded to military families, immigration law experts say. The federal agency tasked with helping military family members gain legal status now refers them for deportation, government memos show.

This has all reached a point where social media society should cut out all entertainment consumption and have a protest hashtag / trending topic on every media platform every 12 hours. "MAGA is a mistake, please resign Donald Trump and JD Vance".

It’s somewhat difficult to compare American conservatives to the Taliban because those are such vastly different cultures. But the equivalent left wing-right wing comparison wouldn’t be about “whiteness,” it would be about attitudes towards the ethnic in-group vs the ethnic out-group. For the Taliban, the ethnic in-group are Pashtuns, but Afghanistan is a state bounded by former colonial borders that has always included major territories inhabited by other ethnic groups, making Pashtuns a plurality rather than the majority in the country. But the Taliban are clearly right-wing because they are religious fundamentalists obsessed with trying to recreate a (possibly semi-fictional) 8th-century Islamic society from when they considered Islam to have been the most pure.

Obsession with the past is in general a right-wing trait."

 

Response:

On the topic of defining conservatives: "it would be about attitudes towards the ethnic in-group vs the ethnic out-group."

Earlier in the message, the topic of Malala Yousafzai was established, yet the reddit reply emphasizes ethnic. As is clearly documented for nearly a dozen years in the book published October 8, 2013 titled "I Am Malala: The Story of the Girl Who Stood Up for Education and was Shot by the Taliban" - ethnic is not core of how conservatives operate.

the equivalent left wing-right wing comparison wouldn’t be about “whiteness,” it would be about attitudes towards the ethnic in-group vs the ethnic out-group. For the Taliban, the ethnic in-group are Pashtuns,

Malala is a girl, a woman, a female. "ethnic" isn't the out-group of the conservative Taliban. Their exact same ethnic human people, but a different gender of sex. Male vs. female, men vs. women. Conservative behaviors are not defined by "ethnic" and "racial", they are defined by the avoidance of nonfiction, science, comprehension understanding. Anti-progress, anti-progressive. In Malala's situation, her father was a school teacher who introduced ideas from outside the fiction story of the single book the Quran imported from Saudi Arabia to Pakistani (across the world) originate in the year 635 to year January 2009 when Malala was first forced to stop attending schools where multiple books from the world's public library were being taught and educated to young girls by her father.

Again, not ethnic, gender. But that's another characteristic of "conservatives", the desire to burn / ban / limit books and ideas of science, nonfiction.

In the United States of America, conservatives can be entirely against white "hippies" in Berkeley California who created Unix computer software with the BSD free software license. "First released in 1978, it began as an improved derivative of AT&T's original Unix developed at Bell Labs, based on the source code." This has nothing to do with ethnic or skin color, conservatives in USA treat white men who are idealists ("hippies") as an out-group, even though the are the same race / ethnic - BSD free software is nonfiction, and USA conservatives do not want science and progress of comprehension and understanding, they want people in USA to follow the imported Levant Bible stories in a very poor dehumanizing interpretation.

Addiction to fiction content and fiction storytelling is core conservative value. As I said in the earlier message, in USA: Rupert Murdoch media network Fox News is fiction storytelling, like Saturday Night Live "Weekend Update" news, dramatized - it is not reason thinking factual news telling, Fox News is entertainment sports simulacra fiction.

You will find it incredibly unpopular and egoism confronting to view this in terms of media ecology and not make it about ethnic / skin color (blacks vs. whites).

As Joseph Campbell described it, everybody, 100.0% are wrong, it is not popular at all to face up to the reality of the fiction attraction problems.

Half + half = total, all, everyone

  • “Half the people in the world think that the metaphors of their religious traditions, for example, are facts. And the other half contends that they are not facts at all. As a result we have people who consider themselves believers because they accept metaphors as facts, and we have others who classify themselves as atheists because they think religious metaphors are lies.” ― Joseph Campbell, Thou Art That: Transforming Religious Metaphor

 

Expand the context beyond "religion", (as the quote is saying, religion is not nonfiction, religion is not facts, it is science fiction).... Fox News is fiction media, fiction storytelling vs. factual news. Joseph Campbell's quote could be applied to:

  1. Fox News and Newsmax and Saturday Night Live "Weekend Update" -- all fiction news.

  2. People who use Reddit / Lemmy to get news to mock and react to Fox News and Newsmax audience. Calling them stupid idiots. That is the atheists in Joseph Campbell's equation of people who do not grasp metaphors.

  3. Zero people, the third group, who fully understand media ecology behaviors and how atheists are reacting to Bible / Quran / Torah fiction fanatics and not seeing the blend of fiction and nonfiction.

Expanding on number 3 on the list.

Take for example "The original Terminator film, released in 1984, is a science fiction action movie directed by James Cameron and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger" - there are a blend of fiction and nonfiction elements. The non-fiction setting: "The first Terminator movie, released in 1984, was primarily filmed in Los Angeles, California. Specific locations include the Griffith Observatory, Tech Noir (720 S Hill Street), and various streets and buildings in downtown Los Angeles. Some scenes were also shot in South Pasadena, Huntington Park, and Littlerock, California." - much of the setting depicted is nonfiction, but the fiction element is the terminator robot technology, artificial intelligence, the time travel technology.

Take another science fiction story, Star Wars 1977, the location / setting is entirely fiction. There is almost no non-fiction content of any kind in that Star Wars 1977 film / story. The planets depicted, the food, everything is fiction.

"Conservatives" are unable (uneducated) to distinguish fiction of the Bible, Quran, Torah story books in Pakistan or USA - they often revel in entirely fiction contents such as the character Allah / "God" in the story, without any proof or evidence, they are attracted to the fiction in a compulsive behavior. Unlike in USA with fiction story of the "Easter Bunny", they do not grasp that Allah / "God" is a metaphor (again, the Joseph Campbell equation above).

This is a literacy problem on a global level across long time periods, it goes beyond any geography or ethnic or race or skin color.

"Conservatives" can behave this way towards any media. Not just Levant Bible from 2000 years ago or Levant Quran from 1,360 years ago. Rupert Murdoch media empire is in multiple places and multiple media venues, not just USA Fox News network. But the core thing of conservatives is favoring fiction, that Donald Trump is a magical perfect person, not a flawed human being. Conservatives treat Fox News and Truth Social media content as nonfiction, like treating the Easter Bunny as if it is not a metaphor.

Humanity has in no way owned up to what Joseph Campbell is saying about the history of comparative mythology. We, world wide, are living in denial of this crisis and acting as if it is OK, whistling past the graveyard of all the deaths between religions and within religions and things like the Jewish Holocaust by Germany in 1940's. Where Bible religion tradition people exterminated and killed Torah religion tradition. Book vs. Book, both imported from the Levant (Torah and Bible origins), both science fiction stories, fiction vs fiction killings.

The Crusades of Europe vs. Levant. The Taliban in Swat Valley Pakistan that Malala is highlighting.

Conservative is not about ethnic race superiority. Conservative is about egoism of the in-group vs. out-group. Fox News is fiction storytelling, Church is fiction storytelling, Mosque is fiction storytelling. Analyze conservative in terms of Star Wars 1977 cinema science fiction fans fighting with Battlestar Galactica 1978 television science fiction fans.

The Bible is a retcon science fiction of the Torah. The Quran is a retcon science fiction story of The Bible. Jesus, Mary, Adam, Eve - are all in the Quran / Mosque that Malala Yousafzai had in Swat Valley Pakistan with the Taliban. But the Taliban will not admit that the Quran is fiction storytelling any more than Fox News audiences and Truth Social audiences will admit that they are consumers of fiction storytelling.

Egomania abounds, people with their "one true fiction story", story supremacy - not racial supremacy, not ethnic supremacy, not just gender supremacy, but fiction story supremacy. Be it Fox News (venue) fiction story MAGA supremacy in USA … … … or … … … Quran Mosque (venue) / Radio Mullah (venue F.M. radio) fiction story supremacy in conservative Taliban Swat Valley Pakistan.

 

P.S. Please excuse my writings, these topics are extremely difficult to put down in words (Joseph Campbell wrote more than 40 books, I recommend him over my Reddit / Lemmy comments). And I do not have endless time to spend composing this message, nor do I have a professional editor like Joseph Campbell does in his writing.

 

Archarchery: Obsession with the past is in general a right-wing trait.

The topic gong on here:

  1. Epstein list abuse of children is a society hot topic

  2. I mentioned Malala Yousafza in the message you replied to, immediate message context

Conservatives in Swat Valley Pakistan who marry a child age 14 aren't "Obsession with the past" - they want to birth future children, in the future, their bloodline. Malala Yousafza's father Ziauddin, was educating girls in the community and was against keeping knowledge of science and nonfiction from girls.

 

  • “The boys learn the Quran by heart, rocking back and forth as they recite. They learn that there is no such thing as science or literature, that dinosaurs never existed and man never went to the moon.” ― Malala Yousafzai, I Am Malala: The Story of the Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban. Published October 8, 2013

Abortion rights, abortion itself, very much a "conservative" focus. Baby making is in the future... not "the past".

 

"Obsession with the past is in general a right-wing trait" - they why do they stop the past at "Young Earth", saying that dinosaurs were created as a test of faith by Allah / Yahweh ? If conservatives have what you claim, "Obsession with the past", why aren't conservatives interested in knowing about human history before the advent of the Torah science fiction story (Noah's Ark) in the Levant? Why would they not be interested in evolution of plants and animals that are from millions of years ago, or the Caves of Altamira fiction storytelling from Spain? "The cave art at Altamira, Spain, dates back to the Upper Paleolithic period, with some of the earliest paintings created approximately 36,000 years ago, during the Aurignacian era. However, other paintings are as recent as 11,000 - 13,000 years old, indicating that the cave was utilized for artistic purposes across multiple periods." -- you can't see that conservatives fixate on fiction storytelling (Fox News, Quran, Radio Mullah, Newsmax, Reddit memes), not authentic "the past"?

I keep trying to tell you... you have to learn media ecology and view this from fiction storytelling (Fox News is fiction, Newsmax is fiction, Donald Trump Truth Social is fiction, Elon Musk Twitter is fiction, Swat Valley Radio Mullah is fiction, The Australian is fiction, New York Post is fiction) instead of a racial / ethnic / skin color issue...

 

1968 !!!

Media ecology wasn't even invented as a field until 1968: "Media ecology, as a distinct field of study, was formally introduced by Neil Postman in 1968. He coined the term and established it as a way to understand how communication technologies shape human experience and culture. While Postman is credited with the formal naming, the field draws heavily on the earlier work of Marshall McLuhan, who explored the impact of media on society and culture."
