Hive Mind

John Prophet

Hive mind.
Seven hours
each day.
On average
people spend
seven
hours
each day
on screen
stare.
Nearly half
of awake
time
on screen
stare.
To what
end?
More anxiety.
More hostility.
More easily
coerced,
controlled.
Fifty
years ago.
People
spent zero
hours
on screen
stare.
To what
end?
Less anxiety.
Less hostility.
Less easily
coerced,
controlled.
Fifty
years
from now
people
will spend
all their
time on
screen
stare.
To what
end?
Complete
lose of
individuality.
Ultimate
control.
Uniformity
of thought.
Hive mind.

    Strangely enough, we even kill people on screen. The robots will make us all redundant.

        Very true John, we need to see the world for ourselves not through the eyes of others.

        and all, by design
        Hive minded = easier, to Herd
        minimising opposition
        to incessant, coercive oppression.
        'Imperialism's
        tyrannically totalitarian
        Mindsets'
        Never, went away
        merely: Internalised
        aimed, at its own
        to solidify its threadbare, foundations!
        Devoid
        of democratic, republic
        or Marxist, socialist
        aesthetic: window dressing
        mirages...
