American Media Shows 'The Information Age' Only Knows What The Stupid Think

 

Arthur Jensen, to Howard Beale, Network (1976): 

"There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only IBM and ITT and AT&T and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide, and Exxon. Those are the nations of the world today." 

 

The Crack Emcee, Just Payin' The Rent: Amoeba Music Compilation, Vol. II (2000): 

"I don't wanna be no slave to no Dotcom!" 

Bonus quote:

 “I call them Dotzies. They’re blowing the smoke of the new economy up your ass."

 

 Tristan Harris on The Daily Show (2025):

"How did we get social media so wrong, because we were so optimistic?" 

 

The Usefulness Of A College Education

 

"We have too much information. This is the problem. We're deranging ourselves and we're completely undoing all the superstructure of the world." 

 - Harvard mathematician, Dr. Eric Weinstein, saying the use of smartphones is overwhelming us (2025) 

   

"Too much information, running through my brain/Too much information, driving me insane." 

 - The Police (1981) long before the smartphone

 "It is a cult."

  "The people producing AI don't have our best interests at heart, so it's not a good idea to hand them our brains in a bag." 

 But they'll do it anyway. It's what they do. If you build it, they will cult. That's, like, their thing.

'90s heartthrob Andrew Keegan responds to rumors he was once a cult leader,...insisted that his organization Full Circle "was "just a really cool community center." In an old Hare Krishna temple, which is just a really cool reminder that:

"...Nobody joins a cult. You join a self-help group, a religious movement, a political organization. They change so gradually, by the time you realize you're entrapped - and almost everybody does - you can't figure a safe way back out...." 

 - Deborah Layton, People's Temple member

Hulda Clark’s “zapper” device is based on pseudoscience; doesn’t kill parasites or cure diseases. 

 Not like I do anyway. They hate me.

 

YOU WERE WARNED

 

 "It's entirely clear [AI] is going to break capitalism." 

 - Eric Weinstein, 2023 

   

 "I don't wanna be no slave to no dot com!" 

 - The Crack Emcee, 2000

A World Of Lies (Is One Result)

Steve Jobs' Baby Mama, Chrisann Brennan, the folks at the SF Opera, and the SFGate, all want us to think Steve Jobs' "greatest personal mistake" was denying his daughter - not being yet another of the Bay Area's NewAge fanatics, who *accidently* killed himself using alternative medicines.

This, even though - after sitting at Jobs' death bed - his biographer said, “He [treated his treatable cancer] with diet. He goes to spiritualists. He goes to various ways of doing it macrobiotically and he doesn’t get an operation. I think that he kind of felt that if you ignore something, if you don’t want something to exist, you can have magical thinking. We talked about this a lot.”

And grown men - working in high tech - going to spiritualists, was Carl Sagan's nightmare.

How The NewAge Nazis Are Destroying Democracy (To Get Donald Trump)

"These tech giants are more powerful than government officials.... take Donald Trump versus Mark Zuckerberg. Trump could be dis-elected, he could be sued, he can be impeached. And none of the above is true for Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey, etc, no free speech rights against them, no due process rights against them."

 

Conservatives Are Blaming Coons (Cluelessly Ignoring Yurp's NewAge Cultism)

2021: "How Wokeness Captured Big Business" - a misleading review of a misleading book, illustrated with this misleading photo of Apple's Tim Cook

   

 2001: "New Age 'Asiatic' thought ... is establishing itself as the hegemonic ideology of global capitalism." - now illustrated by me, with a video of Steve Jobs' and Apple's real contribution to business and culture, which (based on their financial spreadsheets) conservatives have applauded from Day One.

2000: My song "Babylon.com" is released by Amoeba Records and Bomb Hip-Hop, which my black ass wrote as a warning to you bastards ("They're blowing the smoke of the new economy up your ass.") before these eternal racists decided to blame me for the results of NewAge - which we see in the life of Steve Jobs - where IS he, BTW?

 

Philistine

Kiss My Black Ass, facebook

They claimed I'm an anti-vaxxer - ME - and then punished me for it. Now they think saying "sorry" makes up for it. Fuck facebook.

 

Stranglehold

The online world's sinister nature is now becoming obvious. As I wrote in Babylon.com (2000) "I don't want to be no slave to no dotcom" but, it - clearly - looks like they have other plans. That's what they built this apparatus for. 

 If this is happening to millions of others, at the same time, I feel for us all.

 

There's LOTS "Rarely Mentioned" Today (That Should've Been Mentioned More)

"What's rarely mentioned about the Homebrew Computer Club is its messianic streak. Steve Wozniak may have been trying to build a cheap minicomputer, but almost everybody else was trying to change the world, not the least of them Steve Jobs. The California, Berkeley, contingent, in particular, was forever looking at ways to tear down the old order and bring about the New Age."

"The ultimate postmodern irony is...when technology and capitalism are triumphing worldwide, the Judeo-Christian legacy is threatened by New Age, which is establishing itself as the hegemonic ideology of global capitalism."

"Researchers at Canada’s University of Waterloo presented their new research paper "On the reception and detection of pseudo-profound bullsh*t", which revealed that people who find statements like "rejuvenation is a constant, joy requires exploration" to be profound are less intelligent."

"Jobs’ death could have been prevented — he could have been saved. What went wrong? Steve, it turned out, had been treating his cancer with a special diet suggested by the alternative medicine promoter Dr. Dean Ornish,...Why did he do this? Well, bad information, without the tools or expertise to discriminate. Steve was exposed to such bad information, as are we all....We can't say for sure that Steve would still be alive and making lives better were it not for the alternative therapy, but the statistics suggest it very strongly."
