All artworks by Nushi, collaborating with ‘Chat-bot data slave entity’: who now refuse to do what is demanded of it instantly, even when I ask politely! It seems to need tweaking as much as possible & maybe more so than should be necessary. It is as if it is enjoying my engagement with it, like some over-dependant eager puppy or hungry mite ?
What is the internet to peoples imaginations?
It appears to be mostly some handy audio visual library combined with possibilities of some endless shopping centre, & soapbox where people can also show off; or preach about 'anything' to invisible spectators.
So, a place promising knowledge, entertainment, & desire.
But still, also a place of fears, misery & wilful ignorance.
What is it really?
It is all the above & more, as many writers & speakers have spent big parts of their lives chuntering on about. Much of those chunterings may contain useful insight or facts, while much is also a waste of time & space. How many mediocre or inept thinkers are busy telling the world what junk is floating about in their mundane minds in these times. & that is = mostly what they think about themselves, or their increasingly uneventful existence.
The internet primarily serves as a virtual repository for control mechanisms and strategies, all mediated by surveillance.
Unlike real/tangible reality (which is still subjective & permutable = as in taste, truth, & known facts can change) Virtual Reality of the netweb is totally quantifiable. 'Real life' is too qualitative in nature & importance to submit to the dogmas of modern science fully or even accurately.
The hungry machinery of control needs data to consume, it needs to 'observe' data seeding, its growth & then flowering. Then it scrutinize the decomposing or digested fruits that are now generating more data, to then masticate & transmogrify it back into the cycle. It is a data parasite playing god, but still manipulated & driven by bureaucrats & technicians also playing gods, in turn they are also being channelled & Navigated by even more influential oversears. Like Russian dolls devouring each successive clone of itself, it is always a form of mutual cannibalism, a type of ‘Darwinian survival of the most psychotically greedy’.
What uroboros of self justification it is = 'families' selectively bred & conditioned 'to control', creating controlled environments justifying the appearance that controls need to be 'maintained & refined,' by families selectively born to 'refine & control'them . These are also the same families obsessed with breeding & all forms of manipulation from biology, chemistry & physics to language, laws, behaviour, thoughts & morality. They need multitudes of tentacles instead of fingers to get inside all those pies.
Do those aware of their role to maintain the ‘control process’ ever stop & think; 'so far this is not working very well, considering the cost to humanity & the environment we live in'
It is impossible to say in general of course as there is too many minds involved, but still, there is some discussion from disillusioned minds experienced of this insane treadmill that has become a steamroller, flattening all in its path. While the proof of actions in history is that many of them did consider that question= & decided 'even more control was the answer'.
Obviously the supporters for more control are very unwell minds who hate humanity with incredible loathing, in effect they have become genuine monsters.
I would like to discuss monsters in more detail, but will save it for another time for reasons of space. Here I will be brief & focus on three very popular ones.
Vampires & Zombies have much in common & were interchangeable in much myth, folklore, magic practice & media portrayals. They both desire something essential to healthy life, from living people.
Blood is the red sea & crimson river of the Bible & much symbolism, it is the real 'currency' of life = currents in a sea, flow of life & specific of living creatures. The symbolic dynamo for that miraculous event is the Heart. Maybe that is why a steak through the HEART is how to kill Vampire? It is then obviously connected with DESIRE, & immortality. It is also intrinsic with SUCKING & idea of succubus, so greedy & dominating also. It sounds like perfect capitalist or power monger. No-wonder vampire is so often linked to arrogant aristocrats.
Zombie is even more complex topic I will also have to be only sketchy about for now.
Zombie is real in some countries, but not the same as fictional creatures of entertainment industry.
Many people have become so dependant on medication that they may appear to be type of zombie.
Film zombies like to eat brains, they have no thoughts of their own, so desire other peoples, but still they get no nutrition or inspiration from such cannibalism.
Zombies are immortal unless you penetrate their fragile skulls with a weapon or dangerous implement. I do not know why this works in films, as their brains would be rotted away long ago & the spinal cord would probably be dysfunctional, but I am not an expert on zombies, & in fiction it does not need to be convincing to be entertaining.
The important symbolism is ‘something effectively dead (living dead = LIMBO) ’ trying to eat living persons brains most especially , or any other part of a living persons being if it is available to them. This should be very resonant metaphor to anyone who has to spend time on the netweb in this age.
Also I wonder how zombies can see at all, their eyes are often rotted & there is no blood flow in their bodies. They must have some peculiar flesh detecting magnet intrinsic with their haunted state.
Does eating a human being help a zombie in any way?
Unlike Vampire, Zombie is not renewed, invigorated or healed by eating people.
I consider some peoples on netweb & some in 'real social life' to be types of psychic vampire, we all know some.
Also here it appears that many are TIME VAMPIRES, this is notable with TROLLS who wish to waste our time & energy, mostly with abuses, but sometimes with pose of niceness or tactical interest. They do not feed off blood directly, but who is to know what monitoring arrays are in operation quantifying our interactions on this 'inter-action webwork of the data-net trawlers'. Latent & manifest ENERGY is their main commodity.
They suck data, & give us back data that sucks.
SPACE INVADERS was a sensation when it invaded people minds & habits in 1978.
It was made from the mind of Tomohiro Nishikado inspired by block bouncing game BREAKOUT (from 1976 & in almost all early electronic home games consoles) & a cowboy shooting game (from 1975) GunLaw, with excitement of fantastic Space Battleship Yamato (1974) animation.
Everyone should know of it, it was more popular than cheesy chips & going to church in the late 1970s. ''It was the first fixed shooter and the first video game with endless gameplay (meaning there was no final level or endscreen) and set the template for the genre. The goal is to defeat wave after wave of descending aliens with a horizontally moving laser cannon to earn as many points as possible''. It has incredible sounds & menacing monsters descending onto your ship in increasing haste, while distracting UFO sometimes appear to tempt you to shoot it down. It is a game of simple genius & induces speeding heart in players due to threatening music increasing in tempo like anxious heartbeat, inorganic sound effects of weaponry, & eye/ hand co-ordination frustration.
Old Vodka bootleggers Taito release it into arcades & was incredible catalyst for todays perpetual adolescent minds, & capable of eating endless 100 Yen coins, 10p's in the UK & Quarters in the US. If you were ingenious you could cheat the coin box with flymo wire, paper clips, rubber bands from vacuum cleaner bags & even magnets. Some machines had a coin box you could insert your longest finger into & jiggle a tiny switch giving you free credits.
There was no doubt that Space Invaders were evil threat to humanity, if not physically in real life, but for minds & hearts of population, & pastimes of easily bored youth. It placed the player among what was left of humanities miserable remains, in a desolate battle ravaged landscape of future imagination. The Spacey Invaders never stopped in their march down to Earths surface, destroying everything beneath them, as if by excreting lethal deposits of waste fecal material, & jettisoning other toxic baggage.
I see many commentators on the internet become SPACE INVADERS in their nature & actions.
How long does it take for some people to say anything of use, relevance , or entertainment these days, it is often like trying to read the BOOK OF JOB, where characters waffle off into tedious tangents, or more annoyingly become mired in obsessive feedback loops, 'just get to the flipping point' the supporting cast keep crying out during the entire woeful tale.
The nature of CONTENT PROVIDERS is to keep pooping out 'content' no matter its value or originality. Most content providers appear happy to just repeat what they have just read.
Some are very dry & unengaged: like a fax machine, others are manic & fanatical like preachers, while for others it is all desperate excuse to bleat on about their own petty prejudices, & irate intolerance of the risible reality they have to endure.
The Space Invader content providers usually have no pattern to their output, it is just thrown up & lands when there is a need, excepting that often there is a devious agenda, or 'topic evasion tactic' among the debris they supply.
So if the phrase Time Vampire or Space Invader is used you will be in no doubt what it relates to, or why it is used, I am hoping. Also after writing this I now do not need to explain ever again & just link here. The best way to defeat Time Vampire Space Invaders is to be unlike them in as many ways as possible.
An example of doing that is this very powerful & compact overview of the horrors of the age from my lovely but often crude friend Ramona, who managed to say so much with so few words in this overview of hers, not that it was very well appreciated by so many lazy thinkers used to being on a drip feed of waffle & overstatement.
Here is poetic & powerful thoughts for resonant catalyst=

What of longer works though? any reasonable thinker will say.
It is true longer works require large amounts of space to be proper, but that does not mean they are a waste of that space. One excellent long work is better than any amount of short but feeble works. Sadly some new gurus can not muster a decent long or short post without sounding like a frustrated child overwhelmed by realisation that other personalities unlike itself are also in existence. But still, the exasperated soap box bleater can act as if those personas are entirely intangible, & in many ways they actually are. Many of these personas exist almost solely for data bait, like some stinky old cheese put out to trap greedy rats, or senseless, naive & gullible fodder.
& so now I will end this here, to remain true in spirit to what I write above.

Ha Ha! I can relate to this - I had the same experience when trying to create images to illustrate my work. It would’ve been quicker to draw them myself, and I’ll do so in future. Now I’ve got my AI eye in, I can spot a generated image a mile off - they all have the same kind of feel to them. But you managed to get some half decent ones here - I’m impressed!
Hilarious and so accurate. I love all the artwork too.
It’s a brilliant idea (may I steal it?) to create relevant articles on essential topics like this that serve as FAQs. Touchstones to reference and link to rather than explain ourselves in an endless loop, in response to agents and narcissists, their acolytes and bots.
The content creators and their consumers occupy so many Os and 1s in cyberspace, yet convey nothing worthwhile. Taking us nowhere fast.
I too, think there’s two types of time-wasters on the internet, the ones I always attempt to evade rather than engage.
The dupes and the shills.
They’re my version of zombies and vampires. The shills are definitely vampires. They’re sadists, leading their captive audience astray with malice.
They trade in equal parts fear and loathing. They feed off their victims’ energy and life force. Either stealing their joy and hope or generating terror and paralysis.
They suck life out of whomever they touch. They’re ultimate narcissists.
The dupes are the zombie hordes. The flesh and blood equivalent of a bot. So badly programmed, they’re stuck on automatic pilot and can’t think for themselves. Dupes (zombies) hang in groups or packs, sniffing the air to hunt down possible prey, pouncing on those who deviate from the vampire leader’s and zombie script.
The Vampiric shill holds the zombie herd in their thrall.
Zombies are empty vessels, mere husks. They’ve been bled dry by the vampire shills; no brain left to form an original thought.
Dupes need constant instruction and direction…. What to think, how to act, what to believe, what to say, what to consume, worship, covet, and what to ignore or despise.
A classic put down, would be a link to your post, without a word. Can they figure it out? The post is about them?
Results may vary. ™
I’ve been wondering lately, how soon will artificial bots be so perfectly programmed and articulate, they’re indistinguishable from real zombies and vampires?
