You can only see this.

You can only read this.

No, you can’t have more.

You can only have what I give you.

You don’t know what you’re missing.

You don’t know what you’ll be getting next.

Sorry, you don’t come here for freedom to choose.

Only I decide what you read and see.

And if I do this long enough, I’ll know exactly what you’re thinking, because I’m the one prodding and prompting you to think that way.

Are you okay with this?

These are not some ambiguous statements.

These are the agreements, terms and services you agree to when you engage with media, especially social media.

Imagine how you would feel if someone came in to your house and started dictating what and when you could eat, and what you could look at.

How would you respond?

Hopefully you’d remove them from your home as soon as possible.

You see, every picture and word you expose your mind to provoke a thought. Even this sentence is stimulating a thought as you read it.

The technology of the infinite scroll has been weaponized against you. And you are being coerced in to guzzling at the endless trough of information being poured in to your mind, most of which doesn’t affect or benefit your life one way or another.

If you don’t believe me then step away from all media for 48 hours and see if you’re life falls apart.

I’m sure it won’t, but don’t worry because if you do begin to feel your life crumble you can always go back to it because it will be waiting for you.
