Are you being controlled ?
Do any of you ever feel like someone is following you but in the virtual reality ? Or do you ever feel like your thoughts becoming clear when you are online ? Most of us have experienced all of this at least once in our life . But have you ever wondered why does it feel so worthwhile to spend time being online in the world of internet?
The answer to it is the psychological mechanism of each and every platform available on this World Wide Web . They are made to please each user in the way they like . The AI technology used in these platforms is far more superior than the human minds interpretation . Although this AI was made by us , but the way it learns and adapts is quite formidable . AIs like Alphazero are the prototype following which the mechanisms of several social media platforms like Instagram , Twitter , Facebook and many more are made . They are smart to such extent that fiddling up with human minds is just like another chess game for them . They learn from us continuously and in a snap they are teaching us . They adapt so quickly that even before we know they are controlling us . They track our movements , hobbies , interests , etc and create a portfolio around which they feed us the data that pleases us the most . This game feels like a game of cradle that an infant loves and remains pleased no matter how the surrounding around him changes . The same way we get strangled in a never ending loop of fake happiness that brings nothing but temporary pleasures and a dopamine rush within our minds . We continuously consume our feed and crave for even more . When we are bored by one , we look for another like a hungry predator and aren't satisfied until we get the content that fulfills our dopamine hunger .
Countries like China even use a cyberforce to control their population in the virtual world so as to control their lives in reality . They award or punish their citizens in virtual platforms if they commit anything wrong in reality . The life becomes a mess . A person has to live double roles to maintain a balance in order to survive . The same method is used by the social media giants . If you are sane enough then you may notice that if you show interest in one kind of content in a platform then your feed completely gets flooded with the content totally or partially related to your prior choice . The game of diversity ends here with the win of complete monopoly . The computed mechanisms are continuously predicting you next move and before you even think of it , boom here is the next thing you wanted to see . Now , some may think that what's wrong in it ? The computer AI was made to make our lives easier and it is doing it's duty quite wonderfully . We are getting everything we wanted at our footsteps . These ones are classified as the extra smart ones in this digital era . They don't get the point at all . People remain hooked up to pleasures and never want to face the pains and sufferings. They want to remain in their candy worlds . And the AI loves to keep you in that dream . You are once again in a loop of virtuality . It will make you get a life you never wanted , just dreamt of . You will soon become the puppet of the social media . You will look up to become like one of those media influencers with great bodies , ideas and blah blah . You will soon start to look down on yourself and start to copy others . The essence of originality will soon fade and you will be enrolled in the mob mentality . The need is not to become a special one like "The Chatur" from 3 idiots but like the original and simple "Rancho" . The Internet will tempt you into doing things you never wanted , but you have to remain a common person . There is no need to become special when being common is the real special . Everyone wants to just copy the trend and wants to fit in when there is no need. Being common , focusing on their small tasks and completing them gives far more happiness than those frivolous interests .The best to counter this puppet game is by Digital+Dopamine Detox. But there is always an scope for exception , Fun ! But being in senses is still important ! 😂
