We urgently have to take on these media-platform induced "alternate reality" / "anti-reality" problems, it isn't year 2013 with Fox News HDTV being the most obvious alternate reality information system, now there are tens of thousands of media "filter bubbles" of anti-reality... this has sunk the entire nation and extremely few people are calling out the forest of alternate-reality issues for the trees of a few examples every day. It is now since January 2024 saturating, systemic, society-wide, coast to coast problem of the entire population.

Trump thought it was a campaign rally, not a funeral

It is, everything he does is. American people can not stop sharing his image to every possible social machine system, media system, and commenting about every shake and move he does. For over a decade, that's all people do, endlessly discuss his facial cosmetics, his clothing, his hand gestures, his speech, his dialog, his messages, his golf course "touch grass" behaviors - and everyone adopt and mimics his use of Twitter and Truth Social to dehumanize those they disagree with. He is the most charming person to ever walk the Earth, bigger than Jesus and The Beatles combined, and absolutely nobody is discussing his power to invoke compulsive mocking among the audience. Nothing can stop his charm to make people abandon goodness, abandon understanding, and avoid seeing the forest for the trees.

The professionals of clergy, psychology doctorates, psychiatry doctorates.... who all ignore outbreaks of mass psychosis, terrorism values, and war....

• "Now, I've chosen to preach about the war in Vietnam because I agree with Dante, that the hottest places in hell are reserved for those who in a period of moral crisis maintain their neutrality. There comes a time when silence becomes betrayal." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Why are they not using Internet social systems, chat, Reddit, Bluesky, Lemmy, Mastodon, TikTok, YouTube, postal mail / letters - and talking everyday people down from mass suicide and self-destruction of mob mentality, war, aggression, hate against others?

 

“The unformulated message of an assembly of news items from every quarter of the globe is that the world today is one city. All war is civil war. All suffering is our own.” - Marshall McLuhan, University of Toronto

My Lemmy and Reddit and Bluesky experience of people who ban / block / moderate away difficult ideas they don't grasp in 3 seconds or less meme-thinking Twitter-thinking fits what Dr. Martin Luther King Jr said about moderators who shut down any attempts to bridge gaps in the Tower of Babel communications crisis on electric media systems:

 

"I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection."

 

Being banned at the drop of the hat for even the most slight differences or disagreements, "burn books" rapid solution you see all over social media systems in 2024 and 2025 (REMINDER: they did not have Unicode text and "Block Buttons" in 1937 Germany, when they found social messages they disagreed with, they burned paper magazines and printed books).

Every clergy person of every religion, every psychologist, every psychiatrist is clearly capable of accessing the library of words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. They are easily available, readily available. Malala in Swat Valley Pakistan was able to access words from all over the world from home in January 2009..

Every clergy person of every religion, every psychologist, every psychiatrist is clearly capable of accessing the library of words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

"The trouble isn't so much that we don't know enough, but it's as if we aren't good enough. The trouble isn't so much that our scientific genius lags behind, but our moral genius lags behind. The great problem facing modern man is that, that the means by which we live have outdistanced the spiritual ends for which we live. So we find ourselves caught in a messed-up world. The problem is with man himself and man's soul. We haven't learned how to be just and honest and kind and true and loving. And that is the basis of our problem. The real problem is that through our scientific genius we've made of the world a neighborhood, but through our moral and spiritual genius we've failed to make of it a brotherhood. And the great danger facing us today is not so much the atomic bomb that was created by physical science. Not so much that atomic bomb that you can put in an aeroplane and drop on the heads of hundreds and thousands of people — as dangerous as that is. But the real danger confronting civilization today is that atomic bomb which lies in the hearts and souls of men, capable of exploding into the vilest of hate and into the most damaging selfishness — that's the atomic bomb that we've got to fear today. Problem is with the men. Within the heart and the souls of men. That is the real basis of our problem." - February 28, 1954

 

Every clergy person of every religion, every psychologist, every psychiatrist is clearly capable of accessing this idea, getting on the "same page" that we have a global crisis of mental health / morality education and teaching (absence). But they avoid it. Is it more popular to keep encouraging people to hate and have wars? Does it keep the clergy and doctorates of psychiatrist and psychologist in business? Why do they ignore when war breaks out and when terrorism breaks out - and don't use their skills to teach the merits and values of love and compassion for all people and that the entire planet working together needs to get our spiritual understandings advancing as fast as our technological understandings.

Every clergy person of every religion, every psychologist, every psychiatrist is clearly capable of accessing these teaching and understanding the problem, but they want to support Putin and Donald Trump leading the world into mass dehumanization? Why aren't they addressing the outbreak of mass psychosis?

Is it the profit motives? is it a failure to understand the need to help others through education, learning, teaching, study tools of how to expand compassion and love?

I think our clergy is still doing what they did before the advent of electric media systems. Other than televangelism, but they are still just covering religion texts on a routine (typically weekly) basis like a classroom. I say this, as it's the absence that concerns me: when a war breaks out with Russia invading Ukraine, the clergy does not shift their attention to preach end war, end hate, this is a mistake.

The press / news flocks to war outbreaks, but the compassion and love teachers of society - the religion clergy, does not.

"The newspapers have to have bad news, otherwise there would be only ads, or good news. Without bad news we could not discern the ground rules of the environment. This does not necessarily mean the environment is bad, but it means its operation upon us is total and ruthless. The environment is always the brainwasher, so that the well-adjusted person, by definition, has been brainwashed. He is adjusted." - Marshall McLuhan, Vision 65 (October 1965)

 

And the psychologists and psychiatrists don't shift attention to a war outbreak or an outbreak of mass psychosis. When the clergy goes bad and starts teaching terrorism, the psychologists and psychiatrists and mental health professionals don't shift attention to those in need...

I am SINCERELY DISTURBED. I know the source of what is disturbing me: Rupert Murdoch's Fox News audience, Donald Trump White House, Elon MUsk fanatics, people in alternate-realities

Cambridge Analytica has mind-fucked everyone into simulacra. It is incredibly painful.
