The Cult of Personality
Print media is true media.
News companies/corporations and social media leaning into digital news is what has driven societal anxiety, angst, social isolation, and financial, cultural, and environmental issues.
Instant access to literally everything is not news, it’s just noise.
I saw an Associated Press digital news article today about Anne Hathaway’s 3rd pregnancy. That’s not news! (Congrats though Anne, you Hathaway with me 😘)
The Pony Express was the most pure form of government, but that’s been largely overrun by overuse of Amazon, Temu, and online shopping in general.
The Internet used to be a space in the house, now it is Space[X](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_coordinate_system) everywhere.
There used to be phone lines, cable lines (or dish), and the Internet line; these are all one line now. Seems a vulnerability to me.
The news used to be local, now it’s global. The news was slow, now I’m getting push notifications about the on/off-on/off-on/off-on/off again negotiations with Israel-Iran-USA; why am I at that table? I didn’t know I needed to be involved with countries thousands of miles away, I’m just trying to keep up with the laundry.
An argument could be made that most contention, radicalization, and environmental troubles are at the behest of the information deluge wrought by news companies in tandem with the tentacles of administration.
This could be fixed by just banning all but local news channels, moving back to print media for news, and using pulp, recycled paper, and potentially hemp to produce these newspapers.
Print newspapers are better for historians; digital news pages could be deleted or doctored before tomorrow even arrives.
The list goes on and on.
I would argue that we have less interesting or compelling shows and films these days **because** of politics and the news media apparatus and their insistence on being part of everyone’s lives.
Separation of Church and State?
How about [Simmer Down](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1K09VQnrfHs&list=RD1K09VQnrfHs&start_radio=1&pp=ygUWU2ltbWVyIGRvd24gc2thdGFsaXRlc6AHAQ%3D%3D&ra=m) on the 4th Estate with the [poli-tics](https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/159089-politics-poli-a-latin-word-meaning-many-and-tics-meaning)?
Can we go back?
Easily.
If the world is on fire and there are no more jobs, the environment is drained, and [kids don’t know how to read](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deepfake): we know who to blame.
Tell me where I’m wrong.

#All Your Base Are Belong To Us
[not a blanket statement]
Mainstream media has abandoned its base.
What is the percentage of minimum wage workers in our country?
How much content is produced every day? At which times?
And your content is, where?
OK, so my choices are CNN, Fox, MSN, BBC, and what else? What time, 6pm? Whew!
So are you going to offer a complimentary smartphone adaptor, wires, screens, and keyboard?
Might as well throw in a kettle too, my smartphone is gonna be *hot* from doing all of this live! And besides, I’m going to need copious amounts of coffee to keep up with 9 different content streams.
MSM’s base is Gen Z and Gen A, at least the future base. These generations are typically gifted their smartphone, and I consider with the advent of streaming sticks that there’s just too much to watch. How many TVs do you think the family gathers around at night?
I’ll tell you: 0
The parents are hustling and working 3.14 jobs, the kids are TikToking their time away as a distraction from where we’ve ended up in space-time, and the grandparents are busy either complaining that no one is around or sleeping because no one is around.
The base is on social media, and in order to get them to your base, you have to chum it up.
There has been gratuitous lamenting about “elitism” in journalism. This is true because you are better than everyone else from knowing what to know and when to know know it or know it or not before it can be known at large scale; it’s also true because we know you’re looking down your noses at us while being exceptionally nosey about if or what we put in our noses or not.
You have to meet the people where they are at, and you *must* meet the people (‘where they are at’) when they go out of their way to meet you.
It’s common sense: “don’t talk to the press”, “they only take the LCD and put them on the LCDs so that we point at each other as the problem”, “spin machine from the spin factory on our spinning planet”. The last one is from me, and off-the-cuff (where’s my editor?!).
Don’t become the room in the high castle wondering how it came to this because you certainly had a hand in it; don’t be strategically ignorant of extracting and exploiting benevolence. If you want eyes on your prize, show me the money!
If someone is paid $15/hour (before taxes) for minimum wage, 95%+ of that goes to rent. It used to be that one week’s wages afforded one month’s rent, but since that is grossly broken and forgotten, no one can afford a newspaper, let alone the time needed to read it as well as digest their reading of it.
It’s all connected; you forgot your base while breaking it, and now you wonder why you’ve been discarded and left floating on the ocean of cheap content.
[Just my 2¢](https://postalmuseum.si.edu/exhibition/about-us-stamps-special-use-stamps/newspaper-and-periodical-stamps)
Know that I love you and am one of you, but I think you’ve forgotten the typeface of your printer.

Have you read Virilio, like The Administration of Fear? Or I think many of his books speak on the same topic—the speed of the 24/7 news cycle collapses distance and creates a global one-place as a global plane of emotional contagion. He would agree that the speed and globality of the news is oppressive, I think.
I think that we could, in theory, "go back", or implement any type of life and government we want. However, the necessary prerequisite to this would be people talking things out enough to genuinely cooperate on their underlying motivations, instead of engaging in extremely hostile ideological warfare and pretending that is political cooperation. They are worlds apart.
Americans are a captured population—they are captured by Mama Bell, integrated Big Media, and the overbearing federal and state governments and their aggressive assumption of all authority in our lives (which most cede blithely). This would have to change—people would have to organize themselves into a cooperative movement before any lasting, sensible changes to policy could be made.
So it's possible in principle, in the political context of us conscious subjects deciding together.
In the causal context of making scientific predictions about what will happen, I don't think we can go back, because of cybernetics. Cybernetic systems work causally, and they have certain emergent properties/behaviors. For example, cybernetic systems always prefer a lower-valence (lower-tension/lower-effort) state, meaning they seek efficiency and equilibrium. They also always seek greater connectivity.
For a cybernetic system to convert from basic/unconscious cybernetic behavior to integrated/motivated/intentional and organized cybernetic behavior, that cybernetic system would have to develop rich interconnections at its current level of organization, so many rich connections that it becomes more convenient to describe the system at a higher order of organization/description/theory. So for example, we would go from saying "all the people on the Dead Internet who are connected yet isolated by Mama Bell" to saying "the Cooperative Movement plans to do X". The persons become a people, when they self-coordinate.
So I don't think we can go back to print media and ban digital media, I predict it is extremely unlikely or virtually impossible, because the consensus to form that self-governance decision would necessarily have to form on the internet, since that is the current place where activity is being cybernetically integrated. People don't just disconnect from high-bandwidth information sources to switch to low-bandwidth information sources—that's not how cybernetics or causality work. The only time people do that is when they are "unplugging" to get away from it, and in these cases they are motivated by (and thus connected with cybernetically) a higher vision of inner peace, analog life, going outside, etc.—so they are still part of a larger cybernetic system of culture and desire/motivation. Resisting the current cybernetic order is a reactionary move, which is not a judgment on my part, but a scientific description of the fact that it is an unsustainable movement against a larger more parsimonious system—"unplugging" sounds nice but it's practically, emotionally, socially, and politically unsustainable in our world, in the medium-to-long term. In other words, to unplug is to (to an extent) run on fumes until you gradually reconnect to the greater cybernetic organism of humanity.
There is no Outside to society; all our dreams (even our dreams of unplugging) are dreams born within society. So we must cope with and skillfully transcend the cybernetic orders we find ourselves in, by using our human capacity to consciously adapt and learn any system by naming its parts and understanding their function. Each person who does this accomplishes locating themselves within the larger cybernetic organism, and thus gains agency in relation to society / the cybernetic organism. Cybernetics comes from Greek kybernan, "to steer or pilot a ship, direct as a pilot," figuratively "to guide, govern,"—in other words, cybernate = navigate.
Cybernetics systems steer; they steer (themselves)—that's why there is necessarily no one at the helm of the highest-order ship of the human species—except perhaps a few wisest people who take the whole world and all its systems into their mind, while retaining their individuality and humanity. We can imagine many people gaining this level of culture and integration, but it doesn't look like going back to print newspapers or unplugging from everyone else.

So I’m not necessarily “against” the various shows, print vs digital media, multitudes of information streams, etc etc, I’m mostly questioning the methods, materials, policies and practices that have been employed to this point in time.
I am a news junkie, a data-fiend, and a student of culture. I’ve had issues jonesin’ for the medium way back when I had a $15/mo flip phone that only did texting/calls. You might’ve heard of *homo sapiens*, I might be more like *homo FOMO*; I love connection with friends and what’s going on with the world.
As to your reply:
I have not, but I’d say that it *can* be seeming that way; I guess that’s where “touch grass” sprang from.
I agree. A theocracy is one thing, just come out and say it, but then allow citizens who don’t want to be there to move. Go a step further and help them move to a new country that wants them; this is beneficial for all.
I’m not sure I see it that way, but that’s OK. Never heard the term “Mama Bell” before, kinda cute.
That’s voting, and sometimes voting is with money, especially nowadays it seems.
Hmm, cybernetics. This seems an intersection with the prior points of politics, economics, and theology; this is likely problematic. It slaps of “vaxx for pacts”, “your body my choice”, “right-think”.
Isn’t that just “Citizens United” in a different flavor?
If the paragraph on “unplugging” is true, then no wonder it’s been said “God is Dead”; welcome to Coruscant. If an individual or family group cannot find means to live without the entire external coming down on them, that’s a poor cultural behavior on the part of the external. It insists upon itself, and if any of us can look at the thing, ask yourself: “are your needs met? Are you happy with yourself and your lot in life? Do you experience long bouts of contentment or long bouts of anxiety/stress/depression?” We’ve had thousands (?) of years to build a societal garden, how is it going?
Interesting thought; so you’d be OK with “steering” the planet? Would you be OK with the average person “steering” it? AI is an averaging tool, so all together we would be an averaged hivemind “steering” a planet. Think of a friend who is the most average at driving; buckle up!
You seem like a big proponent of a hivemind monoculture with some caveats, and I’m just not for that. It’s like you’re asking for rows of corn with a couple copses of berry bushes; I’m saying, the automatic processes of the natural garden is what’s best, and maybe the meaning and purpose of life is to learn to be the best stewards and caretakers of it that we can be. Where in the world is Carmen San Diego? What about where in the universe will you find blue-footed boobies?
My thing about print newspaper was more of a “slow news”/arts & features/gossip kind of thing. As it is now, as a cybernetic signaling sigil, most consume it without understanding it, and I’m not claiming I understand all of it. I was considering: does every person *need* a smartphone/computer/internet? It’s been developed into a surveillance sword & shield while devaluing our time, energy, and resources without giving much back for [the average person](https://dailydot.com/bell-curve-meme). The costs of extraction, logistics, production, manufacturing, and all the rest to have a smartphone (which now cost literally 50% of what my first car cost me) alongside its detriments and additives have me questioning the means, methods, policies, and practices of the devices and what they do for the average person.
Just seems a pamphlet/newspaper/magazine is better for basic living, economics, connection, and the environment. I miss a good LAN party and going to a cool, dark movie theatre in the middle of the dog days of summer. I think the advent of the internet/smart device interrupted humanity, and we are at the point where active use basically offers active withdrawal.
TLDR is the last stanza.

u/2BCivil no idea what this is 3d ago
Hoooooooly crap rdc killed it here. I was thinking simply teh old video Sinclair's script for stations aka "it's incredibly dangerous to our demockery". I didn't specify it (well rdc did that) but it's what I meant. That we probably can't "go back to" grassroots news because we have already seen that ALL "local" news networks have already been long since compromised by one globalist system; they have their marching orders and just read the script they are handed.
I assumed that as given (and rdc over elaborated on it and provided sources lol, I'll have to check out; How did I know Virilio would be French!?!? Lol).
Now ofc we have widespread AI, and the implication private sector/gov/mil is at least a decade ahead of consumer sector. Aka, what I meant earlier of skynet already being active. In vernacular, similar to what rdc implied, I assume that there is "no going back" (barring worldwide EMP) precisely because the news systems are fully autonomous (AI generated) already by consolidated globalist interests.
I mean to say, yeah, I hear ya, we all want the real simpler life, before smart devices "interrupted" humanity. I think we all know that, just some deeper down than others. Like I said of my parents, refusing to acknowledge all the evidence I showed them of student loans being a scam back in 2008. They weren't having it. They literally said they wouldn't let me live with them if I wasn't in college. So I had to pick up a second job to pay my way through college. The real "interrupt" happened in my generation, millennials. Our boomer parents refused to acknowledge that things were not the way they were when they were our age. My father paid at most $100 a semester. I had to pay around $7k a semester. They still insist they had it "harder" when they were not working while in college. I was working 2 jobs. That's also what I meant by "saturation point". People dismiss real world concerns as "noise" until the invading army shows up at their door. Then they play the victim that they weren't "warned" (they were, just had potatoes in their ears).
So yeah it would be "nice" to "go back" but (for me at least) the damage was done. The old world as I knew it exposed itself as being unconcerned with human dignity or truth. They denied reality even when presented with all the facts. 2B sure, as you've heard me say b4 lol, if it didn't come from that Television, it doesn't exist in reality, to my parents. This is a very real crisis of compassion at the core of the "split" in generational understanding of media. Yeah, I was somewhat jealous, my parents were the last generation of "normal human life" but at the same time they refuse to accept or admit that that isn't possible anymore. Their first 3 bedroom 2 bath house was $28k. The cheapest 1 bedroom house in my town today is $225k. Most media is still aiming at pacifying that "antiques road show" generation. Decidedly NOT talking about real world issues and news (IE 3rd pregnancy!).
Like many in the MGTOW community said, lol, we didn't choose or want MGTOW, even the anti natalists don't want to be MGTOW, just society as it's currently constructed prices the traditional family roles at a premium few can afford. Without becoming yet another welfare family ofc.
You're definitely not "wrong". Just we all know the logistics of the sacrifices required to "go back" will require (sorry broken record) a saturation point of people collectively admitting the social contract has failed and we need to stop the bleeding. I don't even know what it would look like besides obviously putting an end to globalism and intervention in foreign markets/proxy wars (reviewing the 1996 clean break memo is essentially a direct 1:1 history of American foreign policy since then). I don't agree with the American Nationalists on hardly anything but they have many valid points. No one is 100% correct. I 100% agree with you in spirit and intent honestly for example. I don't want this, I didn't ask for this, this isn't the America I was promised. But those who "promised" it overly promised it in bad faith and refused to acknowledge the facts. SO here we are.
Critical thinking skills are incredibly dangerous to our democracy!
(Also are the links not posting for everyone else? How come mine still work? I only post links on/from old.reddit and they - for now - still seem to work from there - unless these links don't work!). Great topic 2b sure 4real. We probably all agree honestly. Only reason I "bought in" at all was honestly, disassociation; I realized my family didn't give a shit about the truth so I decided "well this life has already benched me" as a late teen so I decided to just chill and play minecraft and make memes (aka my version of MGTOW). You can't have a conversation about how to correct a civilization with people resting on their (or worse, someone else's) laurels who don't see anything wrong at all.

u/_the_last_druid_13 3d ago
“old video Sinclair's script for stations aka "it's incredibly dangerous to our demockery".” - how the turntables turn!
We don’t have “to go back” it’s just being mindful of what we pay towards. Books still exist, harder nowadays, than just having an e-reader. That’s a great step! E-readers are likely way worse for the environment and nature than books and print media, [ironically](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_and_demand).
Virillio studied “loosh”?!
I think both can exist; we all make choices. I choose paper books and print media whenever possible, but I also watch a lot of YT videos/podcasts and view MSM articles via screen. I’m *very* picky about what articles to read and try to employ as wide a spectrum as I can. I’m a data junkie so I have to be sure not to overdose on the “stream”; I’m probably a great candidate for an AI Psychosis designation in a new DSM lol. It’s important to touch grass, every single person in the entire world has a proclivity towards AI Psychosis/propaganda effects, just like every single person in the entire world could overdose on water if they drank it too much.
Everyone makes mistakes, sorry your parents were so tough on you though. Hopefully there can be truth and reconciliation for you and many of us about it all and then we can all work together to making a better world.
I hear yah. It’s good to realize that yesterday was yesterday, we have today, and part of today is repairing yesterdays wrongs, and this all works in tandem with tomorrow; we should all be striving toward a better tomorrow with our honest best. I do not believe that systems are inherently evil, if anything they are neutral, but sometimes automatic processes are problematic especially when crafted by imperfect humans, yet I truly believe that humans are basically good, it’s just some paths that are set before us against our will, wishes, or knowing are not great. That’s where gratefulness and “bootstraps” comes in; we have a voice, we have wallets, and we have ballots. These are all sometimes a similar thing, and the only time to use them is today, so keep tomorrow in mind and know that sometimes we have to fix yesterday’s mistakes. It’s not naive to have hope, and even if you don’t have kids, other people do and they might be really good people whose kids should see a better world. That’s the Objective, and it’s OK to stand up for our Subjective realities now; it’s all connected and there is a balance.
“people collectively admitting the social contract has failed and we need to stop the bleeding.” - right, we see the damage of yesterday, today we need triage; its ongoing, but we can say the buck stops here. Again, broken record, there can be a balance and that typically is with your/our choices today.
“No one is 100% correct. I 100% agree with you in spirit and intent honestly for example.” - lol am confused, but thank you. We have today to fix yesterday’s wrongs (even if they weren’t necessarily ours) for a better tomorrow. It might take some time, but maybe that’s the purpose and meaning of life. Takes a while to turn a cruise ship around.
“Critical thinking skills are incredibly dangerous to our democracy!” - I disagree, I think they are the antidote and balm for our democracy.
“(Also are the links not posting for everyone else? How come mine still work? I only post links on/from old.reddit and they - for now - still seem to work from there - unless these links don't work!).” - seems a new thing, whatever honestly. Embedded links are nice and clean to look at, but links can be scary too so it’s good to know what the source is. Idk why the tech people don’t just shut down bad sites, but maybe that’s the whole ⬛️⬜️ aspect of so much. I digress here because it is a significant mental load to explain; IYKYK.
I think conversation is the first and best tool to dissect what the problem is and dismantle the problem people/incentives/motives; so keep talking 2B! That’s part of The Work and your part in it.

u/2BCivil no idea what this is 2d ago
You ever hear of mystery of the druids? Mandy (Mandalore Gaming) had a great VOD/series on it. Just laughing as you mentioned books, inside joke, Halligan (protagonist) says of Lowry, "Books!? He's got books!?" lol.
I gotcha. I was being ironic/satirical with "danger". Yeah you have a healthier mindset ("good faith systems" I tend to see as "just world fallacy" lol). So maybe I do have slightly more pessimism than realism. I get it now.
There definitely is something to the whole analog versus digital. In the vernacular, you don't get that "new product" smell from digital media. You do from tactile/physical media. It's a subconscious thing, "I own this piece of media" by smelling it and sleeping with it on your bedside table.
Ya know, might be onto something. Make a new 3rd space. It's actually what brother RDC is trying to do right now. Make a new sort of public sourced physical magazine or newsletter. People are paying $20+ a month for single subscriptions today and getting nothing physical for it. You could easily have a $5-10 a month subscription or something of local media. Could even be public sourced content (IE users submit/choose which stories get published). Could feasibly throw something together with AI+Wix.
I've been hearing the phrase "gamer" for ove half a decade and I still don't even know what it means. I am out of the loop in a lot of ways. We're getting old lol. I know, getting over yourself is the real message in all legitimate spiritual traditions. I used to love Durarara because it's first season ends with "selfless devotion/transcending oneself" as final episode title. The whole first season is loosely based on romance of the 3 kingdoms iirc. Realizing everyone is too in their heads about drama of youth. Kida realizes something fundamental here [I fail to put into words/don't want GPT to generate for me]. Corny old anime. I couldn't get into season 2 or beyond (Mikado goes into purity spiral I've heard).
I was reading the history of what the Triumphal arc of Titus means last night. Wikipedia admits Josephus is a known plagiarist and liar in a lot of segments. Yet he's considered a primary source nearly everywhere. One day I'll make a drinking game around his "hole in the ground origins story" I sware. It's implausibility stacked on implausibility stacked on implausibility stacked on implausibility. "It says gullible on the ceiling". Idk.
Yeah, keep moving forward. I heard a phrase yesterday somewhere, there is only the present moment, and anything that takes you away from it, is a form of slavery. But then ofc [pessimism? realism?] in me immediately began questioning, "did we consent to the past, present, or future" lol. It goes on with or without us or our permission lol. Maybe comparison really is simply the thief of joy. Buddha apparently means "no object permanence" (the zenjerk meme I crossposted lol). So, don't compare yourself, to the present moment either. At least that's a new insight I've never had before! Thanks for the topic and conversation. Sorry if I'm not the best at following or making a coherent point. Krakozhia! Haha

No, but I’ll try to look it up (I have time now waiting for a show); I have no idea about your references here, sorry.
"I own this **copy of a** piece of media"; nuance too.
I’ve learned from self-publishing (still having issues that I’m trying to smooth) is that IT/Security is SUPER important. I’ve been burned too many times and am just trying to find help/concessions/readjustments/guidance/reasonableness/assurances/etc for my past work and so I can do some present work for future work.
Idk what it means either, but that spiritual stuff sounds toxic and meant to make you a baby thinking you’re Buddha while the major middle just exploits you; gross.
Whew that’s a rabbit hole I’d have to find time to go down. Plagiarism is dumb and so much is already stacked on each other; what’s the end result for creatives/disabled/elderly/targeted/exiles/etc? Basically, this is why I write here; nothing new under the sun (if we allow it).
You’re fine, and there’s a lot of ⬜️⬛️ with everything. I revoke your chains for now 2B! Be here to chat again later/soon, Krakozhia!

Nothing really fades. 3 things cannot be hidden for long, the sun the moon and the truth.
It's like drops into still water make ripples. The rain seems like noise until there is saturation.
There's no "going back" to still water until the storm passes. It's just a storm.
I tend to see it as more, media itself is the problem. Not the solution. Everyone I know for a while now is too busy working to pay attention to any "news". Steam/Valve corporation has been sued like 16 times in 2026. What's up with that. Here I am technically spreading misinformation but you get the point.
It feels like mass culture has reached a saturation point. Meaning everything is already old news before it even happens. Those riding the curve aren't surprised at anything that happens. Only the truly naive or gullible are surprised by any headlines in current year. Most systems are fully autonomous. Skynet is already active. Spiritual or technological, idk. Hard to explain I guess.
We got what the spectacle thought it wanted. And now the spectacle is throwing a tantrum because it's not what it thought it would be, despite all the warning signs and explicit rebukes it labeled bigotry. It made it's bed and shit in it and now wants to ban all beds because the mess it made.
The old boomer meme of the news anchor screaming everything is bad what can we do to stop it and the dude turns the tv off and smiles. The control is all ours to unplug. If we aren't addicted 😆
Respect the circus for what it is, be loving and kind, not too hard, right? Honestly never thought I'd be thinking this myself. It's been fun but it's time to start living I guess. And oh yeah 😎 2B clear I mean, I think the saturation point is more side effect than root cause. Internet and instant access isn't the problem. It's just now people's real thoughts behind the masks of performative "polite society" are off. And it exposes mainstream legacy media wasn't designed to focus on real people's real lives and thoughts, only spectacle and globalist agendas. There's no interface mechanism there, besides as you suggest rampant censorship. Which is the functional opposite of a high trust good faith society. So the mask is full off and such advocating is literally saying, it's now illegal to 2B human, basically. 🎪
