The internet is nothing but mindfucks now

2 posts in this topic

I'm putting this in the spirituality forum because it's not about the internet, it's about reality.

I hear people talking about Zuckerberg and algorithms, but it's not them really. All my internet usage now all blends seamlessly into one another.

And it's almost all arguments against anything I like, basically. There have been magic MAGA trolls making terrible arguments everywhere, why are they there, because they disagree with me.

Even this forum, I lean towards my American heritage and away from my Middle Eastern heritage, so this forum is full of pro-Middle East, anti-American posts decrying the impending fall of the supposed empire.

Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, this place, it all blends seamlessly together.

There is no "Leo Gura," there are a series of videos on Youtube, and posts on this forum. 

Based on what's on my mind this week or month, posts online about the I Am or manifesting will say every possible variation of what these things will or won't do for me. Today, nonduality is good, last week it was bad. Today, manifesting is all about action, last week it was "without lifting a finger." It all switches back and forth variously.

Islam good! No, Islam bad now. Christianity good! No, Christianity bad. Or maybe Jesus good, but Christianity bad. Or maybe that's just dirty hippies talking. Actually, Buddhism good! No, Buddhism isn't even a religion, Buddhism just liberal westerner posturing, so Buddhism bad. Hinduism good! No, Hinduism not what you think it is, Hinduism bad. Chakras good! No, chakras bad. Nonduality good! No, nonduality bad aktchually. Liberals good! No, liberals bad. Your failure to pick a side is bad, and proof of what a coward you are! No actually everything is balance and picking only one side is bad. But most of all, whatever YOU are, whatever YOU identify with, is bad.

The internet has just become, here are credible and highly tailored arguments against anything I like, and the appearance of thousands of people all liking things I don't like. The rest of it is either things I'm supposed to want, like women or gadgets, or a couple of decoy posts designed to give the appearance of actual people posting actual things on actual websites from an actual "exterior world".

I predict the response to this post will be some kind of spicy gainsaying about so what bro, or what have you done that's so great, or you're schizo, or you're chillingly absolutely right because you're alone in the universe, or find Jesus, or whatever. Reality is mostly just a hologram trying to have the last word, no matter how ridiculous.

Your mind is opening 


Sometimes it's the journey itself that teaches/ A lot about the destination not aware of/No matter how far/
How you go/How long it may last/Venture life, burn your dread
