I find myself looping through another round of emotional responses to the state of the world.  As I’ve often written, releasing old belief systems is an emotional process.

The Six Stages of Awareness links my own emotional responses belief-changing material to those described by Elizabeth Kubler-Ross in her seminal Five Stages of Grief work.

At times I am angry, despondent, and infuriated.  At other times I am also calm, reflective and full of gratitude.  The difference between the two is often defined by how much time I spend reading what the great social controllers are feeding to the world.

Twitter, Facebook and Google are as much legitimate business concerns as they are instruments of social engineering.  Don’t believe me?  Then maybe you could believe a former Facebook executive that no longer allows his own children near his former employer’s product:

We are all being programmed and those doing the programming are both brazen and sophisticated.  Sometimes they just brazenly make stuff up and repeat it until it becomes truth, and sometimes they are using the most sophisticated of techniques to precisely elicit deep emotional responses that all but assure adoption of their preferred messaging.

Which is why I find myself alternately infuriated and amused.  “How the F can people fall for this garbage?!? [chuckles] It’s kind of funny to watch…”

The reason I still get angry and frustrated from time to time is because we’re just wasting very important time and resources that really ought to be dedicated to other pursuits.  As I watch the US electorate lurch from one emotional outrage to another, with the sum of them all being a trip without a direction, I truly wonder if this is really just the emergent outcome of how events spread virally or if it’s not something more intentional and sinister like a program designed to keep people revved up but pointed in the wrong directions.
