...soshana zuboff reveals surveillance capitalism... the term itself has a ring of conspiracy... but then you hear her listing off the obvious... data mining... many of us are familiar with this to an extent... more than just the information you voluntarily provide (or conscioously) it's the information that is mined from your behavior... your browsing... what you are looking at... i.e. wiki articles on vaccines... youtubes on wu han and 5g... etc... and next thing you know you are being recommended books by authors who've written books about these... when you get o nextflix there may be suggestions on movies that dramatize a government cover up...
...nothing out of the ordinary... nothing she is saying is extra ordinary... we are aware of these... and yet that is the great reveal... that we have been in a state of surrender to what seems innocent... what seems the norm... the norm it crazy... it is pathological... it is scary to think that a.i. through data mining is recruited to recruit you into consumer habits...
...we consume... or we create to be consumed... the ancient Way is to collaborate... to prostrate your Work the the Essence... by way of community sharing... Your Work is to be the creator you are in cooking in shoe making in farming... to serve community... doesn't sound too attractive right?... it's more attractive to be a beyonce or billie elish... to be a yoga celebrity or a renown earring maker... fame and the lust from ego has fanned the wars of the past... has been the constant lesson taught by the prophets... so much so that the prophet muhammad refuted kingship... refuted having his image being replicated... as even the image of some one can become a point of idolizing... which we do with celebrities... white and black and brown and yellow and red... people saying relatively destructive things... people saying things that spirit people have been saying for millenia without commodifying...
...collaborate... dissolve your Work in a circle of community... aspire for this...
