We The People

Feel disempowered? My friend, think again. You are the Almighty Consumer. Yours are the eyeballs their reports are all over. Yours is the thumb that swipes right. You are the USD, CNY and BTC. If you really wanna feel powerful, put your phone down and walk away.

Feel how freeing it is to not give a shit. Sure, phones are expensive, beautiful, shiny, fuckin magic little boxes that someone went and got from the future, but they're not more important than your wellbeing.

This is an intervention, my friend. We see you. We feel you. We love you. We want you to succeed. Your life in the Real World is waiting and we'll all be overjoyed when you choose to return.

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by 1440 VR porn and haptic feedback controllers. Come on back to your life. We miss your laugh, your smile, your motherfuckin contributions. We've been sold this shit for too long, distractions and feints.

We need new ideas up in here. Where are our engineers, designers, architects, builders? Sitting in chairs looking at screens. Where are our teachers, managers, leaders? Sitting in chairs looking at screens. Where are our friends, brothers, sisters and parents? Sitting in chairs looking at fuckin screens.

It's not the screens that're bad. Look up 'Humanity's Devil' in the dictionary and you won't see an iPhone 12. What you'll get is the gnawing, clawing ego-fuelled imagination, trying its best to figure out this game we're all playing.

The internet is the greatest game we've ever created but it's fucking some of its players up sideways. We know some people get addicted to cigarettes, casinos, heroin and porn so why not social media? Anything that sends spikes of neurotransmitters rocketing around our brains seems highly addictive to some portion of the population.

Plus, right now, it feels like we're living through that same bullshit time where doctors were telling people which cigarette to smoke. The world's never seen such charlatanism, snake-oil-salesman, fuckin all-out-fake-news-lying-to-my-face bullshit than on the inner-fuckin-net.

Turns out human beings are a bunch of liars. Fuckin right we are. Comedians, jesters, storytellers, movie directors, we're all a bunch of liars, spinning yarns, trying to tell deeper truths, tryna reveal the truth in a truer sense of the word.

Anyone not pursuing truth for its own sake is trying to take your money. Beware the scammers, ads, phishing phucks, hackers and douchebags trying to make money as fast as they can, with as little effort, grace and integrity as possible.

Yes, it's a rat race. Yes, we all live in a giant game made up by our ancestors. Yes, we could all be dicks to each other but why? Why would we want some people to have everything while many people have nothing? In our heart of hearts we know many things have gone terribly wrong and need fixing.

You are the best person to fix the broken things near you. Let's fucking remember who's actually in charge here and fuckin pitch in and start helping each other. Fuck our leaders. They're inept, corrupt and cowardly cunts. They don't care about people and they aren't helping those who need it most.

'We need help,' cry the women and children. The Big Boss Man plays with his rockets. Our leaders fail us again and again. Let's exercise our civic power and responsibility and put them down for a while. Just like our phones let's stop looking at, listening to, and being distracted by those who do not have our best interests at heart.

There are so many people on this planet who love you. A fellow human being is a friend to all, I say. Come and join a global community of awesome, nice, friendly people who truly want you to succeed. The power belongs to the people, my friend. Come on; let's take it back.
