Attention Seeking in the Hive Mind Collective





Losing and finding motivation in a fake online world.

The perception of reality is what rules the online world, yet reality is what we have to face in our flesh and bone lives. How does the perception change the reality of our lives?

The spinning stimulus the online world creates in our minds, balloons the creative ideas and then sends them shooting out the sides of the tornado. Catching these fleeting ideas and taking the time to express them becomes too arduous in a world of changing themes in the translucent hive mind concept.

Before the methodical writer chews on the idea and takes the time to process them into a clarifying expression, the winds of change blow in thousands more that distract and override the initial project.

The bots and human hackers, plying for greatness and attention, clamoring for a slice of the fake bot pie, have already exhausted every avenue of thought the masses are cornered into considering from social engineering tactics.

Attention is scarce, and more so when there is a thought or idea that hovers outside of the hive mind collective.

The creators in the copycat miasma, stack upon each other like the mockingbird media, all without any directives past the trending topics the hive mind spits out with consistent regularity. The formula for success, the way of the darkness, the evermore sardonic fuel for the fake masses infused with overstimulated robot minds.

The creative are floored, plastered upon the ceilings, outside the spinning toilet bowl of hive mind ideas. They throw their creations into the void, sowing a meaningful effort to a stumbling minority, as the crowds of bot-like hacks rush in with their copy cat studios and plush microphones, ready to tell us the news of the hour.

The living flesh and bones creatives, losing and finding motivation, speaking victory to the void; treating the online perception with contempt and disdain, seeing the fakeness and reeling from its powerful weakness. Nevertheless, throwing a clog in the wheels of retrograde progress, shinning light into an ever-growing abyss of idiocy and illusion, hoping for an eye of sight beyond the slithering snake-like hell within.

Paying attention reaps a reward, the slight conditioning that keeps us moving along, keeps us in the boiling pot until its too late. We are informed, we know more than ever, yet our minds are spinning out of control, unable to use this knowledge before the next big thing takes our attention away.

And the cycle continues, like a well-oiled machine, like an orchestrated supernatural social engineering calculation from big data analytics. Thousands of years of slow evolution have now hit the hyper-drive button by accident, and there is no way of turning it off, as the red alert beeps and bellows an ominous tune.

The hive mind collective is what matters, is the message we learn, by paying attention and going along, we find ourselves hypnotized by the cycle of stimulating madness. Thinking quietly, someone should do something, only to move on quickly to the next crisis, until we realize, the only thing someone should do is spin into a ball of robotic complexity that flies through the air gathering attention from the drooling onlookers, thus creating a spectacle of nonsensical gibberish, and finding this catapults one to attention seeking heights unheard of with normal conversations and wise counsels.

The next thing they know, they are being invited to social media conventions, given awards for their creative genius, and sent digits on screens that give them access to even more attention. They have graduated to the robotic merits granted to elite non-thinking morons, and beloved they become in pieces of humanity sown into a cyborg demon. Well done hive mind collective, you have been granted the attention you so deserve.

Now, as for those who have resisted the robotic fakeness, how could you be so shameful. You deserve negative attention, you are the problem of course, for making sense, for being real, how could you!

The show goes on, the attention seekers clamor for more, and the real creatives go silent in the madness, instead opting to create art for their pet dogs and cats, even their fish. God appreciates reality, one day, their steadfast faith in the truth will prevail, thus they find motivation again, and express such to the hive mind masses to little avail past meaningful inspiration to do what is right.

To do what is right and true, even in a world of fakeness and lies.

An Ode to Grandpa Lee

An old-time pioneer amid modern vanity and "progress." The man stood tall in the wind with the sun beating down on his flat-brim cowboy hat. He was a working man, focused on his pioneer family in the western country they called home. Building and designing structures high and wide, the man skipped across wooden beams high in the air, under shadows cast only by moving clouds; wide open spaces watched the scene as death-defying feats were carried out in relative obscurity, as just another day of work. The man was an old-timer with relatively few years to boast, a before his time pioneer with an adventurous and loving wife plotting business in sagebrush lands far beyond the hyped city life bustling with seemingly meaningless activities. His skin was as leather, scorched in the sun and beaten with high winds containing drifting sand mixed with alkaline dirt. The dry mountain air in the high desert cleansed his heart with comfortable respite from the high temps and harsh weather e...

What Happens to the Writer's Brain

Too many ideas and voices. It’s been around 40 days since I published an article, and I wanted to explain what happens in the writer’s brain. Essentially, I have too many ideas for articles to write and this causes my brain to meltdown and write nothing. While these ideas are flowing through the brain, life is happening; appliances need replacing, cars need repair, family trips, people passing away, bills getting lost in the mail, and other life happenings like work and chores. In between all of this, these ideas sometimes don’t find place to be expressed in the short time frame I have to share them. The exercise becomes too difficult, the writing takes a back seat to just relaxing and doing productive things around the homestead. Still, the writing brain is getting backed up with all of these ideas, and it begins to distrust they will ever see the light of day by being expressed and published. The hope of finding a fluid streamlined workflow for these ideas to be published diminishes ...

In the Furnace of Affliction

Isaiah 48:10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction. Sometimes this life seems like a furnace of affliction. Yes, some more than others. Maybe for some it will come later, or maybe they aren’t God’s chosen and won’t be chastened, or refined. Revelation 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. While there is part of me that rejoices that perhaps it is because God is working in me is why things seem hard, yet there is part of me that is sort of pissed off about it all. Hebrews 12:11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. All the while, the world is going to shit, and it never seems we can do enough or break through to certain people, to change things for the better. Really, we are limited in many things, yet in other things maybe we aren’t, yet we limi...

Writing Success Comes from Volume and Quality in Balance

Our success is up to us. Success, as a general term to describe the results that constitute a success in a writer’s mind, as it meets or exceeded our expectations. And volume is how many articles/content pieces it takes for each writer to succeed with various levels of quality involved. Each writer will have their personal goals and ways to measure the results achieved through writing an article. Each writer has differing perspectives on what constitutes quality with a finished product. With these important variables in mind, let’s explore how many articles it might take with a theoretical estimation based upon experience and what I’ve seen in my decades-long online writing journey. Most writers can’t expect to attract a lot of views when writing only one article a month, or 12 a year. They may be able to stay in the game at the base line level and maintain some trickle of income, yet it isn’t the volume needed to reach that level of success to maintain. Still, we must first appreciate...
