I spent quite a bit of time yesterday putting this video together. I have realized that if I want to post something in the morning, it has to be done the day before or it won't be done in time.
I am just going to repost the write-up which I have submitted to a few subReddits. The idea is to get multiple communities engaged in the same discussion so that different perspectives can interact. The way that Reddit is designed is for isolation and against persistence. So I am trying to link together different communities, and provide persistence through linking to the posts in this blog.
It seems that our tv shows and movies are painting a picture of armageddon, doomsday, and collapse at the same time endless negative news keeps us in a constantly fearful reactive state. We are shown that when bad things happen, police states, shadowy organizations, artificial intelligence like skynet, gangs and tribalistic behavior take over. The scenarios we are exposed to paint a limited range of possibilities based on scarcity, fear, deception, and exploitation./r/Collapse: Negative Narratives (or, do you believe in fate Neo?) - Are we consumed by a fearful reactive state? Is constant exposure to negative narrative creating the future we fear?
Is it possible that this view of human isolation will unconsciously funnel us into these patterns of behavior in the case that the current order is lost? Are we so distracted and fearful that we cannot break away to build a positive world that we all seem to want?
We already have the ability to replace third party trust with technologies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The central bank is obsolete, and so are government and corporate hierarchical structures of deception and exploitation. It is possible to build a society based on open and provable cryptography. We can replace imports using 3d printing technology, we can drive massive efficiency gains through sharing technology and automated abundance. We can connect with each other again!
However, we are very distracted by analysis of news and conspiracies. There is no end to this. We might do better to assume that corruption and conspiracy is a pervasive fact of life and move on. Yes, they should be cataloged to inform our realm of possibility, but to get stuck in reactive analysis is the unconscious behavior of a captive mind.
Unconscious automated behavior is pervasive in society. It's how we can sleepwalk through our job, its how we eat without tasting, its how we make love without connection, it is the dead patterns of society.
Fate is not about a known or set future. Fate is about unconscious behavior. Fate is comfortable, automated behavior. Fate is a narrow set of possibility. Fate is about not participating in your own future.
