broadcasting

Scientists imagine their facts change the world, but only the stories told with them do that; the investments we've made in the stories we know keep it the same.

Broadcasting technologies provide the cohesion required for mega-societies - be those colonies of ants or humans. But while societies are our greatest strength and protection, broadcasting, the endosemiotic system of these, has been seized upon, capitalized and directed by sociopaths and their AI's, gently guiding us to sacrifice ourselves, our species, domain, and the biosphere itself to their gods of avarice.

How do you persuade farmers to go to war when the best they can hope for is to return again, alive to their farms; you tell them that there is an enemy at their borders come to take their farms from them.

As the impacts of baked-in global warming accelerate, and the socioeconomic systems that have generated this continue to grow exponentially, the role of broadcasting in the control and pacification of populations is becoming increasingly apparent. Predictive policing based on AI, for instance Matrix policing, has been in general use for decades in England and the US. Rebellion has been sanitized and rebranded to celebrate inclusion in the rat-race. Popular energy has been isolated, contained in home cubicles and entertainment centres. Entertainment has been co-opted to support wider agendas than popcorn and icecream sales, designed now by neural network analyses and psychologists for conditioning, propaganda and marketing. Television nannies of 1980's liberation are now wet-nurses for our infants, answering their questions before they can grow.

Fibre-optic cabling is the razor-wire of individual ghettos.
