” MIND BOGGLING”
if you haven’t seen The Great Hack on Netflix,
it will blow your mind.
i have no idea how true or false it is
but when i watched it, i realized
the reason we are now so much more divided
than we have ever been
is because data is being gathered on every one of us,
they know what we like and what we don’t like
what triggers us and what our weak points are
and government, corporations, companies are using that data
to persuade us to think the way they want us to think.
they are feeding us images and stories that incite us
make us mad, play on our underlying insecurities
foster our hatred and position us against one another
and because they are secretly mining our data
all of this is happening without us even knowing,
they are putting pressure on our pressure points
to make those who are undecided lean towards them.
it is happening everywhere now
because we are so consumed by the internet
our privacy has vanished
and our data has become
a weapon that they are using against us
to manipulate us into thinking what they want us to think.
when The Mosaic wrote through me,
“Nothing is as it seems.”
i had no idea the implication it was showing me.
it is time to see what we do not see
to create a new paradigm
because with this sales of data
democracy at the very core is eroding.
i am so sorry to post such a post
but i watched TheGreat Hack last night
and i have spent every moment since praying for an answer.
we have to see what is happening,
see what we do not see
and come together to create a world in which a few
do not separate the many for their own benefit.
if this movie is not true, (and i believe it is)
then the situation it portrays is too close at hand to sit by
and do nothing.
please share with me your thoughts.
