The Digital World

Tech, Social Media, AI, Hypnosis, Psychological Warfare and Undue Influence

I am deeply disturbed about the direction technology has been taking us as I have dedicated my life to understanding how our minds can be manipulated and programmed and our behavior controlled. I believe, “It’s Your Mind, and Only You Should Control it!” The level of information warfare and deepfakes, disinformation, and use of algorithms to overload and control minds. I worry about authoritarians using this technology to control the masses and destroy democratic institutions and the rule of law. 

A brand new book, Tech Agnostic: How Technology Became the World’s Most Powerful Religion, and Why it Desperately Needs a Reformation by Greg Epstein, examines the impact of technology on society. Epstein is Harvard and MIT’s Humanist chaplain, and the book could be as crucial as Luthor nailing his theses against the Catholic Church. It does a credible job of helping us look at Tech as a religion. It connects many dots, including addiction as well as cult mind control dynamics. It describes and refutes many of the beliefs being espoused by tech billionaires. It goes into the fraud of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, long-termism, effective altruism, and much more. I will be interviewing with Greg Epstein soon.
