I’m sure some of these things will seem obvious to most- but remember- I exist outside the devices/apps/networks- so most humans- the “device people”, are creatures I don’t spend much time with- so I was slow to learn these things-
If you don’t post about it, it didn’t happen
Several times- real life friends, family- are surprised to hear about the things I have made and released- since I don’t post on social media about it they assume it does not exist as most people are constantly looking for interesting, exciting, attention getting things to post-
So they cannot fathom that I could make these things and not try to chase clout with them- so therefore the things do not exist-
The constant pandering creatives have done on these networks over the years have warped the audiences expectations for artists
through these networks all creatives are constantly posting- reminding- chasing people to try to get their attention- its like they are running after people saying “You are special, I love you, I exist for you and do what you like! Please love me back by looking at me”
People have become accustomed to this behavior unable to see through to the fact that they are just a customer/potential customer and that are just being marketed too from someone that is that not their “friend” but a para-social salesman “friend”
This has “spoiled” the audience in that the audience doesn’t even know what a real artist is anymore- real artists create to create- they don’t pander- they don’t make things for the audience- they create and share with the audience- but even if the audience was not there they would still create the same thing
This spoiled audience then reacts like spoiled children when presented with a real artist that doesn’t pander to them- the artist could care less if they “stop watching” or are “no longer a fan”- and this infuriates some in the audience as they have become accustomed to the normal modern “creative” pandering to them in hopes they continue watching or “donate to their patreon”
*my attitude is this- if you like that I do- cool. If you don’t like what I do- cool. BUT if you don’t like that I do and you send me/post on my stuff some melodramatic cringy essay as to why you don’t like what I do you can fuck right off mate! I’m not your friend. I don’t care to be your fake ass para-social friend- I’m an artist. I’m not going to change for you or for anyone else- I’m not going to change for any amount money- I haven’t and I won’t ever.
Almost no one actively searches(pulls) for new things to be interested in- they have become accustomed in these networks to have things pushed to them
the notifications tell them what to do
he who controls the notifications controls their behaviors/interests
A person’s memory of the “internet world” lasts about 2 days
If a person is not constantly bombarded with new stimulation about a thing it stops existing
you see things cascade through the various networks, channels, ecosystems- after about 2 days its over and a new thing then takes a ride through the rollercoaster of attention- this is endless and most all of it is completely meaningless and will be forgotten-
but people spend years/decades in these cycles- wasting their time and energy on endless novelty and fake para-social friendships
think about dying alone- will these things/people comfort you then?
the more time a person spends on their phone/online/apps/games the more boring they are in real life
most “internet experiences” whatever those may be- online gaming, online community banter or “jokes”, online drama etc is COMPLETELY USELESS in real world social experience with real people who have thriving lives in the real world.
you can’t post meme’s or emoji’s in real life situations- you can try and do funny meme poses or whatever to do the same but then you are just a fucking dork- you can talk about your epic online gaming sessions in real life with non dorks but no one cares and you’ll have to slink back to your gaming cave where you are “somebody”
If you’re entire existence revolves around online and/or gaming/streaming/para-social “experiences” you are boring af
If you are constantly “in your phone” while in real life situations you are wasting your life and you will never know true joy- you will never know love- LOVE IS SUFFERING and you can’t even “suffer” through normal social situations?! You will never know love- you will only know despair.
Normal conversation where everyone does not agree is interpreted as a “fight” and even as “abuse” and “violence” to the “device people”
this “reality” they live in pushes them further away from real people who live real lives in the real world
These people reject and fight the real world and are trying to turn everything into places like their online worlds
An echo chamber has become their “normal”- echo chambers rarely provide truth- they instead provide what you want to hear- what makes you feel the most comfort- echo-chambers provide tiny bits of opiates- the truth is a spoonful of apple cider vinegar sometimes- it tastes bad but overall its better for your health then the echo chamber opiates-
The device people don’t love anything- their whole existence is based on “liking” the right things- what is right and wrong to “like” is constantly shifting leaving them in a permanent state of confusion
To love means to suffer for it- these people suffer for nothing they “like”- if it falls out of favor for whatever reason they are gone
Love is suffering- they are constantly chasing positive stimulation-they love nothing- they just hate the other side more than they hate the people in their “group”
Since they aren’t willing to suffer- they aren’t able to love- they aren’t able to truly live life
The devices and networks offer them an alternative to mean old real life
Ok that’s the end of my observations-
But yeah- if you love something/someone and aren’t willing to suffer endlessly(to death) for it/them then its not love- its convenience.
Smart phones and their related apps/networks are the ultimate in convenience- the ultimate you don’t love anyone/anything enough to go out of your way to do anything for them/it.
So if you really love someone send them a heart emoji after your phone sends you a notification to remind you that its their birthday- I mean if you REALLY love them then tap a few times to send them a premade bouquet of flowers with a small note you type on the screen-you don’t even have to leave the house! How comfortable! Better than that use AI to write the note for you! Then you don’t even have to strain to think of nice words for two minutes.
You were able to do all this while sitting on the toilet- this is LOVE 🤣
