We are living in a time where the premise is transient with limitless viewpoint of mobility, the flexible and transformative texts, where prevails the permissive irony and all forms are incomplete. Touching heights flying on the wings of doubts where everything may be what it seems not to be.
This it seems is the most hopeful time in our assumed evolutionary ascent where the click of a button and the ever accompanying screen takes us either to a place that we always dreamt of or to a place which is scary or causes shrivels. This place can also be experience, event, achievement etc which are posted in infinite numbers on the screen we spoke of. Happiness for one cause annoyance to innumerable number of others. Sadism to an extent. The skills and the set of likeable features in a person or a thing are physically and practically absent but what reflects on the screen is a typical antonym of it. Time and again this is experienced and accepted. Happy and joyful person on that virtual premise is actually not the one it actually is. There are some virtuous people who know this but have fun in promoting this falseness of that specific person and this too in return gives both the parties happiness. Sadism again now with two of them enjoying what is non-existent. This chain magnifies and multiplies and in little or no time we are surrounded by everything and anything that is False and Farce. The world around me and you is becoming so. The literates are not actually literates. The stars are not actually stars and the love is not actually love. Originality is dissolved and here we are now living in a premise that is transient and ironical. As good as a virus about which no one knows but everyone believes because those stars believe it. Smiles carry invisible tears and sadness has a smiling heart. Everything False. It is Rhetoric. Success is now the level of persuasion that rhetoric creates.
As it is quoted by Finn Newen
“The person that is most persuasive is not necessarily the most correct”
Ask such people to come to truth that the world is still physical. The relations are still lovable. No matter what is the medium. We would still wish to travel to the one we love. The virtual world has to have a limitation and we are the ones who need to benchmark the trueness of it. The stars shine because they are and not because they are seen !
Let us not be led beyond dumb sentience to an expanded consciousness. Where is the mind located when identity is as much bound up in an avatar, or across a group of highly differentiated avatars, as it is in a material body? Where indeed is the self-located in the network environment?
Time to realize the reality…
