Startlingly stupid question, I know. It sounds like the opening line from some poorly written cyberpunk novel. But I'm afraid we're already looking at that reality, and have been for some time.

Can't Stop the Signal

There are a lot of funky ideas out there these days: Flat Earth, Planet X/Nibiru, hallucinogenic psychology, catastrophism, active alien presence in our solar system, Electric Universe, Agenda 2030, DEWs, weather weapons, Transhumanism, electrically scarred American Southwest, Younger Dryas Flood Event as Great Flood, vaccination fears, Space Time is dead, occult bloodlines, yugas, 5G, privatization of water, secret space program, religious history, religious prophecy, free energy, freemasonry, global warming as a cyclical function, mind control, global pedo ring run by world leaders, Atlantis, millions of years of human history, breakaway civilization, Nazi International, Zep Tepi, Annunaki, interdimensional beings, human hybrids, what's up in Antarctica, quantum mechanics, energy work, 911 as False Flag, and a host of others just as fantastic and kooky. (Hopefully I didn't break the site, JtC... )

Problem is that while most of them are quite fantastic, not all of them are entirely kooky. Some in the list above are cutting edge science, history, and current events. They all get the same treatment, though. "Conspiracy Theory." ... conversation over.

Hang on a Sec Disc Boy... Here, Hold My Beer

But the conversation isn't over, it will never be. You can't lock down human thought, regardless of how hard you try... well, not yet. Perhaps Elon Musk's creepy Neuralink (because we should not be limited in throughput because... only 2 thumbs...)or the Jeffrey Epstein funded "Little Sophia" AI robot friend for little girls with "radical emotional software" will change that. It's the singularity, it'll be awesome. And besides you'll have to take it to protect yourself, evolutionarily speaking, from the AI.

Here's the thing... a couple of these ideas are getting some traction these days, and it's going to cost some VERY important people a little bit more than money. If I had to wager, I'd wager that many of these topics, or their reality based counterpart, are all tied together in some kind of Rube Goldberg-like knot of epic proportions; a physical representation of the historical embrace, support, and choking out and absorption of the key players in whatever sick game going on at the apex of human society.

Shut Up or Be Smashed by the Oligopian Knot

This knot is pretty massive and rolls down hill like a mofo. It can't be stopped. People and, more importantly, ideas get ran over and smashed by it all the time. Or they get ensnared and gobbled up, assimilated, while struggling against it. It's the very point of centralizing the narrative and owning the pillars of human culture. You create a force of nature, a function of gravity. It' so big that to get near it is to become one with it or perish. Having never been an oligarch, I think that's how one oligopilates.

To successfully unravel the Oligopian Knot is to face being Gary Webb'd, Chelsea Manning'd, or Julian Assange'd, Kirakou'd, or worse, Seth Rich'd, or Kennedys'd,. And you could always be Donohue'd, Ritter'd, or Anita Hill'd which isn't exactly cool.

Throughout the 20th Century, the Oligopian Knot rolled and grew as it mowed over countless human beings. It mowed over so many human beings that a brutalized people turned a blind eye to the Knot looking instead towards more pleasant and shiny things... for the children, of course.

Tapping the Resources of the Human Mind

But human thought is no longer a solo or local endeavor. It's no longer limited by word of mouth, the speed of press, or broadcast access.

Human thought was not networked in the past as it is today. The Oligopian Knot is no longer a force of nature. It's slowed down. It now grinds people down instead of bowling them over. Some even have time to scream before getting fully smashed.

Singular human beings are grabbing a hold of the strings and threads of the knots and working them to try to counter the cognitive dissonance of 21st Century reality. They share with their friends, in meatspace and cyberspace. The Oligopian Knot is being unraveled by the figurative room full of monkeys tapping on keyboards.

Something must be done about that.

Colonizing the Human Mind

Russiagate is based on the fear that Putin is colonizing the minds of American Citizens. Anti-vaxers are colonizing the mind of impressionable Americans. Flat Earthers are colonizing the minds of people.. what's next?

Everyone is trying to colonize the mind or prevent your mind from being colonized by "bad ideas".

What are bad ideas? Who defines them? Why are they quote-unquote bad?

The Quality of Ideas Should Be Determined By the Market

You might not want to hear it but that's how we determine the quality of ideas and what are bad thoughts. And as much as I hate to say this, this is how it's been at least since Reagan. Some of us just can't seem to see it though or we refuse to buy it; probably because we want to maintain our hope for change.

Hope for Change... sounds good someone should use that to cultivate inaction and patient passivity for a charismatic leader. Actually bringing about change is so messy and complex. Think of all the insurance company people who will be out of jobs with Medicare for All you heartless soul.

Your idea costs money and as a result costs society. It's a bad idea. You should not waste time on it. Social and corporate media certainly won't.

The Ministry of Privacy

How long is it until the Ministry of Privacy is approving our thoughts? Hopefully longer than Elon thinks. How long until your thoughts and information are put through a cost/benefit analysis and found to be wanting? Again, Elon, slow your roll...

It's there right now, BTW. My freaky YT history that allows me to make that list of kooky shit above? Writing this piece here? You reading this? Thoughts have value. Time goes into thought. These thoughts do not make money.

Back to Reality

Thoughts that don't make money are being hidden from the public. They're not verboten, but they are visibly absent and seem to be cast as a violation of civil society. "Anti-Vax? what's next!? An elite human trafficking and pedophile ring? You're a nutter! You will kill us all with that talk."

If you see it on the TV or read it in the paper, it's being put into your head to make money. The end. It's not being put there to inform you. It's not put there to entertain you. It's put there to make someone, somewhere, money. If it isn't making someone money, it's not in the paper or on the TV and it should not be in your head. If it doesn't make money it doesn't exist in the corporate media or it's a shadow ban on social media.

All colonies of the human mind should be money makers.

"Thoughts that do not produce value cost society, Mr. Smith, and they cost you. You really should Change them. I hope you do, for all of our sakes. May all of your thoughts be profitable," she said as she closed the door.

And Mr. Smith screamed for all he was worth.
