THE CURSED MACHINE IS OUT OF ANYONE’S CONTROL — A FORMLESS AND SHAPELESS PARASITIC MONSTER
Complex multiagent systems result in emergent unpredictable behaviors. These behaviors, in aggregate, can manifest consequences in the real world that exhibit features consistent with those of non-living ‘life-like’ structures such as viruses or prions, including energy & resource acquisition, defensive structural formations, cyclical ezymatic processing, and system growth/replication, especially when they naturally occur in the boundary layers between new rapidly-evolving ecosystems, like the cyber-domain, exploding big government policy making, a tech-fueled 5th generational warfare military arms race, or rapid cultural shifts fueled by connectivity.
What began with technic and small ‘exemptions’ to previous legal limitations, rose in the cool fire of cinema, television, and a military industrial complex, blossomed with ‘zero-tolerance’ school policies, cable TV, internet, & video games, and took on a life of its own in the age of big data, social media, ubiquitous devices, and mass surveillance.
Thoughtless and lazy ‘Zero-tolerance’ compliance methodology implemented 20 years ago supposedly to help prevent bullying has grown alongside the kindergarteners it was first designed for — its intellectually irresponsible bureaucratic mindlessness has spread across all of society, infecting institutions everywhere with brain-dead paternalism, ironically turning adults into zombie-like idiots with childish response patterns and transforming organizations large and small into illogical & petty policy tyrants and merciless bullies.
The modern psychopaths who profit most from this transformation by jockeying for position to benefit from proximity to the energy of the process, also accelerate it — using decades of accumulated research, machine learning, ‘big data’, and pervasive surveillance to individualize propaganda to maximally target each recipient’s own psychological profile and personal interests, individually arrange timing and placement for maximum behavioral impact, all the while censoring and squelching opposition viewpoints, often without the victims even realizing it — all at mass scale.
Those who are in a position to put a stop to it are eliminated by control mechanisms like licensing, professionalism standards, and classification access, repurposed to weed out men with honor & integrity and replace them with those who will betray their sworn oaths or abrogate their responsibilities out of cowardice, fear, conformism, and careerism, and allow unsupported theory to supplant science, rhetoric to replace reason, emotion to override objectivity, and administrative guidelines to determine actions instead of evidence.
Mankind’s institutions and organizations are thus taken over through instruments of financialization, monopolization, perverse incentives, state security agents, cycles of big government spending, special interests funding, and regulatory capture — and citizen complacency.
An important factor in creating the demoralization of self-worth and perceived self-competency is the undermining transhumanist effects of technology-regulated biofeedback loops, ‘dependency-injection’, ‘nudging’, privacy destruction, and cognitive degradation, resulting from human beings essentially ‘implanting’ a networking device onto their person at all times (‘smart’ phones).
This ‘cyborg-like’ attachment has the effect of outsourcing a part of the victim’s identity and thought processes — and thus autonomy — into a connected node of a greater invisible swarming multiagent system, while the victim simultaneously underestimates the power that the external system will influence directly back upon her.
Surveillance capitalism, natsec exploitation, and political corruption have fueled the tech/surveillance ‘monster’, provided it with compartmentalized insulation, and delivered lifecycle processes to enable growth, evolution, and attachment to our ‘body politic’.
Now it has subsumed our markets, our culture, and our governments, transforming our institutions and even human beings themselves into little more than network processing nodes, data input sources, and slaved physical domain control instruments, and turned society into its own power infrastructure and digestion system with security and defense mechanisms to maintain its access to energy currency for processing and growth.
Instead of a ‘superhuman-like’ artificial intelligence, we have been overtaken by a parasitic, swarm hive-mind ‘intelligence’ to which humans and their institutions unwittingly serve as physical instruments — a multiagent system that we are dependent upon, cannot extricate ourselves from, and cannot shut down.
Humans, especially western men with a tradition of individual freedom and a will for fighting, are the greatest threat to the parasitic predictive surveillance-powered system and the wannabe elites serving its rise.
They allowed the system to grow out of control and now it dictates their actions, not the other way around — like nodes of a crowd-sourced machine-learning algorithm that isn’t ‘superhuman’ or even self aware, but can outperform a human due to millions of interactions governed by natural section. And like a virus, a fungus, or an ant colony, it has naturally evolved processes that ensure its own survival, processes that squeeze currency, energy, and people through filtering and incentives pumps the way animals squeeze protein, sugar, and vitamins through our gut, and the bacteria that reside there process it and send chemical signals that affect our mood and behavior.
This system has — again, through simple regression and principal component analysis generated by natural selection in resource acquisition incentives valued by elites, who also accelerate the process by adding an element of human ingenuity and planning — determined that compliant, easily brainwashed western women and rights-less non-citizen men are the underclass most efficiently enslaved to maintain the machinery, but reduced human population sizes and self-efficacy levels are required to be able to dominate the masses with smaller numbers of advanced weapons and tech.
Ever since its rise, this system (without consciousness, but through effects similar to that of the Roman Empire conquests or the corporations driving Colonialism) has managed to ruthlessly eliminate those who threaten it and reward those who participate in its spoils.
Thus the average person witnesses a nearly incomprehensible mix of bureaucratic mindlessness, tyrannical edicts, elitist profiteering, and cultish transhumanist efforts seemingly combining in unison towards a goal, unaware that the financial markets, the government powers, and the cultural institutions are actually reacting to unseen signals of energy, power, and currency incentives of a subtle network of connections forming a shapeless yet powerful system unconsciously processing signals from twenty trillion inputs, making predictions from those inputs, and manipulating its environment to ensure its own survival — and just like the coronavirus itself, it doesn’t matter if humans initially grafted it together for their own purposes, its purpose will revert to adaptation and survival.
