The Atomic Society – each little
atom stuck face first into a phone texting life away while they could
be with others living and having a good day – Tragedy in Action.
We live in a society in which everyone
is isolated from each other by a variety of means which should in
theory bring them together such as phones, internet and the like.
These technologies had the potential to revolutionize the world and
what they have done is kill most human social interaction in the
First World nations who have most deeply embrace these technologies
and the (selfish) liberal world order which itself is the prime mover
of this atomic isolation as it promotes the lie that we are all
complete little happiness bubbles unto ourselves, needing no one
else.
The problem is caused by liberalism’s
selfish world view and the technologies we have coupled. The
predictable result is that selfish people have by and large
substitute real contact and actual discourse with texts, posts and
comments. It is a product of the decayed thinking that produced
materialist ‘happiness’ in the first instance in which
‘happiness’ is immediate feel good happiness and no other thing
at all. That NOT walking to see another is a happiness because
being lazy is best … this is the exact thinking behind most ‘modern
conveniences’ that being lazy(doing less) is better. Look at all
the fat sad lazy unhappy isolated people and tell Us with a straight
face We are wrong.
You see once before all these ways to
hide, avoid and otherwise not be with others, people had to actually
get up, go to the place the other person was at, and care enough to
want to see and talk to them about xyz.
It required effort and time. People
planned them out and meant to have real contacts with those about
them. In short time with others had meaning beyond mere utility and
gain.
Now, all this is lost in the haste of
needing to chase the newest junk about WallWorlds Shelves and in
trying to ‘connect’ with TV characters who would not spit upon us
in real life, while neglecting people who are alive and willing to be
part of our existences.
It started with the phone which just
turned into a way to NOT have to visit and socialize with others.
Then the phone was used as a way to milk others of money. Now nobody
visits anyone, or really calls each other much except for brass tack
reasons.
It has progressed to the point that
most folks can’t be bothered to talk with real living people at
all, even on the phone. It is getting to the point that many if not
most, preferring to text nonsense to others who are themselves
isolated and typing ‘lol’ type nonsense to others who are … and
the wheel of this stupidity rolls forward. (Yes STUPIDITY, since
such low information ‘communications’ is hardly worthy of pack
mammals much less men. )
The net result is we live in a society
in which people have little to no real contact with other people and
have substituted ‘lol’ ‘Kk’ and other gibberish for real
meaningful contact.
This is highly unnatural. It is highly
distant and in fact works against any strong bonds of affection
building up between the parties involved. When people do not really
talk they do not really bond at any meaningful level –social
contact is necessary for real relationships to exist.
Thus slowly but surely this atomization
is dissolving the bonds that bind our people together at an
interpersonal level. Even those who will read this on line will
still be ‘one plane removed’ from the author and thus are
atomized him and them. One to the others. Others to one.
This is the common fate under this
world order and its false values, and for so long as people all
beeps, bells and whistles to substitute for song, cheer and time with
others.
How to get there?
Seems simple over all –
Put down your phones. Step off the
internet.
That is the only way back to something
like a real society with bonded people who live lives that have some
meaning greater than consuming garbage products from trashy stores.
The only way back to a social order
that is not degraded by crime, squalor and poverty.
It is just that simple – Time to stop
type type typing and start, fix, fix, fixing the social order about
you.
