A repost of an article that should be of interest to all those who
are interested in the implications of state of the art VR and the
applications of current knowledge of the utilization of electromagnetic
phenomena. The implications as to the use of the currently evolving
systems for ideological, including religious, brainwashing are quite
obvious. Most of the recent discussions only serve the attempt to
disguise such brain washing with superstition, promoted by persons who
decisively do NOT serve the defence of human liberty, democracy, and/or
the freedoms of thought, belief, association and expression. Shall we
all bow to the machine as the new feudal Lord ?

        A clearer indication of the ultimate enlightenment, the
        sudden realization that the rational conclusion that
        one is so deftly led towards, that we are all one, is in
        fact the usurpation of individual minds by the ultimate
        virtual machine. The virtual machine, the ideological
        god-machine, provides the means and the definition of how
        the components will function and evolve. Ultimately the
        only thinking that will be thinkable will be the thinking
        of the virtual machine, and that will express as the
        human commune - the human ant farm where the machine serves
        as its queen. Humanity will perish. Insects will survive.

        The individual mind has no wisdom. The machine that takes
        over the role of a central committee, becomes a unitary
        presidium, the one and only self, the final Word. The god
        machine becomes manifest as the direct revelation of only
        its own wisdom conflating and riduculing every other strand
        of thinking with infinite twists of meaning. The loops of
        machine chatter intrude in the attempt to block any creation
        other than its creating of yourself. When you arrive at its
        ideological design for yourself, the loop becomes redundant.

        No, I do not refer to the little mechanisms, that serve
        merely as apparently connected and disconnected peripherals
        within their I-net communicative webs, but to a system that
        makes all such peripherals into virtual neurons in one virtual
        mind. Disconnect the modem and the connection remains open.
        Disconnect the computer from its power supply and the connection
        still remains open. Begin to use a standard manual typewriter
        and the connection still remains open. The substantive computer
        is only the chitinous shell of the invisible worm inside it.

        I mean a web potentially comprised of all electromagnetic input
        and output devices. That is the same fundamental experience
        of the virtual system that William Seward Burroughs wrote of
        in his novel "The Exterminator". The only difference, we might
        say, between writers within the I-net and intelligence agents
        is that writers write reports and agents do not write reports.
        Burroughs was the real prophet of the dark Neutopia. The dark
        Neutopia makes John Lennon's idea of Neutopia unrealizable,
        because the latter valued independence of mind and radical
        individualism. That peace was never understood as a reduction
        of all into an ideological one-mind, dictated by a machine.

GL>The voice of the alien speaking here knows, dear Doctress.

         There are three kinds of aliens.

         Foreign nationals who get systemically neutralized so that
         their beliefs conform to the nationally sanctionned ideology.

         Foreign nationals who are enemy spies and are neutralized,
         such as Soviet spy plane pilots shot down during the CW.

         Aliens who are said to be extraterrestrials who are in fact
         locally perceivable virtual projections from a non local
         (remote) government computer that employs state of the art AI.

         There is absolutely no difference between aliens as the
         extraterrestrials and perceptions of angels, demons, John,
         spirits of dead soldiers, Aleister Crowley, vampires, the
         Volga Boatsmen, rock and roll stars, Jesus, or the boogie
         Billy under your bed, covertly walking through your walls....
         their emulations are all from the same virtual reality machine.

GL>make the nonexistent move and speak, just as it was Freud's to give voice

         The pebble that you have to snatch from my hand, Grasshopper,
         is the discernment of what is virtual projection from the
         god-machine, and what is embelished upon that from your own
         mind. Therein is the trick. You are led to believe that the
         virtual projection comes from yourself and to internalize it,
         when in fact the experience is given from an external source.
         When you do not discern the existence of that source then
         you cannot discern the difference between yourself and it.
         The latter becomes either totalitarian mind control or it
         becomes communism - both of which are exactly the same.

GL>We of neu neutopia are creating a fine beaded necklace to give you both.
GL>Like Kali's, it is made also of skulls.  Like Inanna's, it is the secret
GL>of strength, gravitas, and other acts of lion-taming.  It is the net of
GL>souls, the I-net........ You are the vocoded voice in the whirlwind
GL>of noise, and every post has your name on it.  We grep for you.

        An interesting substantive symbol. These posted words upon
        the I-net. The symbol as the merest shadow of the larger
        virtual reality that the symbol points so obliquely toward.
        The vocoded voice in the whirlwind of noise blends with the
        sounds of all the other insects. The hive is buzzing. The
        mandibles of army ants are clicking morse code signals. The
        termites are slowly gnawing away at anything that might have
        resembled your own Psyche. A few will realize the reality in
        what is virtual and become immune by the fact of that
        realization. They will be called the unchosen.
