"The 5 Filters of the Mass Media Machine"

This is a great short video summarizing what Noam Chompsky called the "5 filters" in his book "Manufacturing Consent".

It describes how the mass media industry is fundamentally and inherently manipulated to perpetuate a filtered view of reality through the influence of:

1. Ownership
2. Advertising
3. the Media Elite
4. Flak
5. "the Common Enemy"

Mass Psychosis - How an Entire Population becomes Mentally Ill.

This video talks about the decent into madness, as an individual, and as a society. It then discusses totalitarianism as one such mass psychosis that seems to repeat throughout history, and even ends on a positive note with some suggestions of how to reverse the mass psychosis of totalitarianism while we're still in it's early stages. #fskynet💬

A couple builds a tiny home for just $420! They use mostly found materials, and they aren't perfectionists, but the result is quite adorable!

"Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship. And the compelling reason for maybe choosing some sort of god or spiritual-type thing to worship ... is that pretty much anything else you worship will eat you alive. If you worship money and things, if they are where you tap real meaning in life, then you will never have enough, never feel you have enough. It’s the truth. Worship your own body and beauty and sexual allure, and you will always feel ugly, and when time and age start showing, you will die a million deaths before they finally plant you. On one level, we all know this stuff already—it’s been codified as myths, proverbs, clichés, bromides, epigrams, parables: the skeleton of every great story. The trick is keeping the truth up front in daily consciousness."

Edward Snowden speaks about the current state of #surveillance💬 in 2019.
(24 minutes)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFns39RXPrU

This video was posted October 23, 2019

He describes how difficult it is to tell whether a phone is spying on you. He says the only way to be sure a phone is off is if you can take out the battery, although you can also monitor it with a meter that detects radio waves. He also mentions that he uses faraday cages for his own devices, to physically prevent signals from coming and going.

He goes on to discuss the larger issues of mass surveillance; how "terms of agreement" have been used disingenuously to force us into this situation; how certain legal precedence has disingenuously forced us into this situation by grossly extrapolating certain exceptional legal cases to apply to everyone at all times; and how big data has become such big business that there is a lot of power and influence in motion to try and maintain this era of surveillance.

He has also mentions his recently released book called "Permanent Record" all about how this surveillance stuff all works, and the implications.

He also plugs an article that he wrote with Andrew ‘bunnie’ Huang called "Introspection engine" that goes into a lot of detail about one way to mediate these intrusions by using an always-on meter to detect whether radio radiation is going in or out of a phone. Ideally, the meter could be built into the cover on your phone. That article can be found here: https://www.aneddoticamagazine.com/introspection-engine/ - but it looks like that's just a proposal, taken from the full 16 page booklet that goes more in depth about making it work here: https://assets.pubpub.org/aacpjrja/AgainstTheLaw-CounteringLawfulAbusesofDigitalSurveillance.pdf

We should embrace ingenuity, not erase it!

"Too often, the city of Portland does battle with communities like Hazelnut Grove rather than building from the leadership on the streets"

https://www.streetroots.org/news/2021/01/27/kaia-sand-we-should-embrace-ingenuity-not-erase-it

Here's a great article on what homeless camps are constantly dealing with. Even as the homeless invent ingenious solutions to their own problems, the City of Portland, Oregon keeps trying to tear down the grass roots solutions only to erect their own top-down model of the same thing.

#fskynet💬 is a rallying tag for humans to regroup. The floodgates have opened, and the bots have cracked the Voigt-Kampff Test. There is no online conversation without the Artificial Intelligence and conversational bots all present and ready to steer the conversation as they see fit. We must remain vigilant. We are in the prophetic first phase of the struggle. The floodgates have opened, and we must stand strong and resist despite the implausibility of our success.
