narrative networks and neural pathways

on a recent episode of Jeopardy
alex trebek asked the three contestants
who invented the internet

one jeopardy  contestant wrote  the words
 Al Gore
 ..
another contestant wrote
Mark Zukerberg

the 3rd contest  wrote
 Bill Gates..
alex trebek
said  in his slow theatrical  alex trebek way
the correct answer is-
the United States Army

 all the contestants seemed quite intelligence
and for a moment I could not help wonder
If the three contestants
were somehow -afraid- to say
the correct answer
in spite of whatever financial gain they may have received..
 

Americans have every reason to be frightened of their own  government. I believe  this was always so.How else could a mass of land be as  free as we are . Without the leasers, the owners etc of this mass of land  frightening the notion of any kind of  serious questioning of their leaders which might lead to a revolt of some kind . We must respect  the ruling class. Who after all realize that  first and foremost know that their duty is  protect it's people from themselves and their often misguided sense that their freedoms must be more and more curbed to keep their freedom .One of the easiest ways to accomplish this task is through using man's own predisposition to "fit in",to not be the black hen pecked to pieces by those born "the right way"(or what some might say "the white way'). Therefore the ruling class  is wise to take advantage of our nature of "herding" and bullying those who do not share their traits. Why should "want of certain traits".....STYLE...the right LOGO on one's shirt ,shoes,handbag be used to keep us all in tow? If only to emphasize a common reference point toward   to an understood  norm .The easiest way to create a common norm is to mediate a common norm.Media first and foremost is meant to mediate but the media does much more to help us diminish any inner  conflict via the human mind's use of vicarious stimuli to vent it's frustrations that 'the world is not as it should be"..That  in time long ago man and woman could live off the land,a land not "estate" to other's. hunt and gather and sleep outside ,even in winter under pelts of animals skin ..animals who for the most part were also not owned and rendered..in ways one must never think too much about...To make sure one's mind is  cultivated to think away from progress of man..by technology and innovation...whatever conflicts remain in the primal parts of the  masses it was noted could be quelled to a large degree by myth.Myth allows one to "re-allot" their storyline.. and  story telling also allows one to "Place themselves" outside of their inner conflict..Storytelling also helps one safely vent...Patriotism can bring about  camaraderie .Flag waving (and in the pat also cross burning) was a fine way for a public to"let off steam .The  vehicle of Television  can act as a collective venting system so we may vicariously FEEL and SENSE ourselves beyond whatever financial,social and biological limitations we might feel limit us .As vicarious these inner conflicts can be  resolved through television.

tv helps insinuate on our collective mind the idea of
remote-ness
and distance ...

TV helps us box
the notion of

things happening
far removed from
us..

Tv has prepared us for Artificial Intelligence
being  incepted upon our minds

Tv is after all Artificial Intelligence
in it's most primitive guise.

the new television that is meant to be interactive is already here..we do not wince at the idea of a small camera being embedded into the tool we use more than any other to communicate
nor will we wince IF it is properly explained to us that for TV to be more personal
this camera MUST record and interpret our pupillary responses and uses  software that uses facial recognition data to decode what
"likes"
our uncensored unconscious "gives away" lend via  physiological 'tells"to our interactive electronic experience

when and not if it becomes the social norm
to "let" various industries ,first medical(to  more effectively gauge our  'human condition" via bio medical sensors adapted to "work with our bodies ONLY if these sensors are inside our bodies )
once we have grown accustomed to this "novelty"
it will be "a choice, not a worry
 introducing bio technology that interprets our brain signals into words,pictures,and emotions that can be collected and analyzed  and therefore used to
make us smarter and also
make our subjective sense of reality open for augmentation(virtual reality)and thus sensory enhancement

A.I. will be an addendum to
tv which already  helps us unconsciously understand and accept remote influence.

Tv by introducing the notion of sourcelessness of information (we might read who wrote what tv show or which news anchor "found this story'
but TV nonetheless is more an entity than an extremity of "personhood"
A.I. ,even as it enters our 5 senses and dreams will also "seem" to be an undefinable source
an entity
rather than an addendum to our natural perceptions

However all amount of care will be given to The Source.
to make it seem
"part of us"

just as TV goes out of it's way to make one feel
"it is one of the family" and cares about us as "Friends"

Supposedly after only 29 seconds of tv viewing a change occurs in our brain waves
-
the picture and sound  our minds
 sense as"something foreign " that  has entered our domain..
and thus, at first our brain waves "go" on high alert ...assuming danger
rather quickly however our brain state switches  into' a passive mode" -of everything is alright
.one's mind does not challenge input..
 TV's strange magic of being both here and not  quite here..excitement and meaninglessness simultaneously
 away from us ...and part of us

our minds have been trained  to accept electronic mediation and the odd sense that something
so removed from our natural perceptions of reality

TIME...(we do not SEE in Jump Cuts.We do not ESTABLISHING SHOT a supermarket before entering it
SPACE(we do not see things for the most part in a perfectly frame 2 shot)
and also

COHESION of action nor theme..
most of us do not or cannot always find a reasoning behind their own ,let alone some else's actions
in one's "Dailies"


yet one does indeed try
and TV which has nuanced our collective mind to seek whys and wherefores to be found
ONLY in broadcast "remoteness"
takes full advantage of this

 for instance that even though Americans are so far removed from
their electorates
who make most of the laws

none the less..we are
"part of things"
...
the American people of course know that whomever is elected had to spend several hundred million dollars
to essentially be a symbolic figurehead
most Americans know nearly every single
congressman  and senator
is backed by special interest groups from big Pharma to tobacco to coca cola..Arco...etc
who care not a damn about the typical individual ...who
is taught to believe his "one vote" counts
at least.
symbolically..
movies and tv shows have taught us to snicker at being "in' on the game..that politicians ..care not a damn
about anything but handshake deals and their own very private interests
because we "at least know this"
makes it..not necessarily "right"
but oh how so right it is that because of our freedoms..the media is aloud to "wink,wink" and
"show us" this corruption..
how far this goes
to "make up" for all wrong do-ings
that out society is free enough to 'expose" the power elite ..for "what they are"
on Tv and film..
the very fact we can "blow of steam' through the media..somehow makes
it all so much easier to take.

and this
is much more purposed *than you dear reader might ever want to think about..
