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 into your house and started dictating what and when you could eat and what you could look at.

How would you respond?

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

Every picture and word you expose your mind to provokes a thought. Even this sentence is stimulating a thought as you read it.

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

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

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

P.S. Thanks for reading! If you enjoyed it, don’t keep it secret – share it with one person you love.
