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.

Rocky (1976) Movie Review

Duncan Chen/ Flickr One of the best movies of all time. The Genuine Approach It’s hard to believe this iconic American movie was created 50 years ago in 1976, three years before I was even born. It is also hard to believe how well the movie has stood the test of time as one of the best American movies ever made. The entire  Rocky  series of movies, including 6 movies directly about Rocky Balboa (not counting the two  Creed  movies which have him as a secondary character), are amazing movies that inspire the viewer and represent the American dream of working our way up from the bottom to become a success. Although the subsequent  Rocky  movies are great in their own right, none of them compare to the original  Rocky  movie. What makes the original  Rocky  movie one of the best of all time isn’t one thing, rather it is a culmination of a myriad of factors that combined at the right time to give us a genuine, humble, and ever-relatable stor...

The Following Leaders on Medium

I remember one distinct moment during a career development course at a community college I attended 21 years ago when the professor asked us to stand up and do an exercise.  She asked the class to separate themselves into two groups; those who thought of themselves as leaders on one side of the classroom and those who thought of themselves as followers on the other.  This question came without warning at the beginning of the class, so we didn’t have time to think it through. The result was probably more sincere because of this suddenness.  For some context, the class consisted of about 30 students, mostly young adults under 21 YOA; I was about 21 years old. An interesting thing happened.  An Important Life Lesson in Social Perception The vast majority of the class went to the leader side of the class and only two of us went to the follower side. I was one of the followers along with another young man. How awkward; then the professor focused on us followers and ask...

3 Reasons to Prioritize Capital Equipment Planning During Healthcare System Mergers

From 1998 to 2015, over 1,400 hospital mergers have transpired in the U.S . They’ve been increasing nearly every year, especially since the ACA was enacted in 2010.

An article found on CIO called: “What is merger and acquisition due diligence?” , written on June 9th, 2015 by Dewey E. Ray, explains the 4 areas of due diligence to focus on:  “Strategic Position    Financial Data    Operational Assets    Legal Matters”  Operational assets are a major aspect of M&A planning and implementation. Effectively dealing with the capital equipment involved in a transaction takes consideration, strategy, and organizational software tools. In this regard, let’s discuss 3 reasons to prioritize capital equipment planning during healthcare system mergers. Definition of Capit...

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...
