Mass Mind Brain Damage

Not just personal brain damage, not just one individual brain damage.

Brain damage of entire groups, mass mind brain damage. Mass man brain damage.

American conservatives tend to rate their mental health more positively than their liberal counterparts. Asking instead about overall mood eliminated the gap between liberals and conservatives. (journals.plos.org)

American conservatives tend to rate their mental health more positively than their liberal counterparts. Asking instead about overall mood eliminated the gap between liberals and conservatives. Conservatives may inflate their mental health ratings when asked, due to stigma surrounding the term.

Breathe, citizen.

Two-word Twitter-thinking, very common since Elon Musk took over Twitter, every media platform full of little tiny comments that say just enjoy what Donald Trump and Elon Musk are doing in 2025, it is so entertaining, popcorn pops every day to this thrilling world of media content. Social machine messages copying the Musk values of drowning in noise.

You adore book-burning, like Nazi Germany in 1937, uh? "Breathe, citizen.", "Go to toilet now, citizen."

Elon Musk xAI / Twitter-thinking values of social machines. Being directed by a social media message when you can take a breath and when you can use the toilet. Fantasy world for many who adore Elon Musk xAI / Twitter-values world.

“Technopoly is a state of culture. It is also a state of mind. It consists in the deification of technology, which means that the culture seeks its authorization in technology, finds its satisfactions in technology, and takes its orders from technology.” ― Neil Postman, Technopoly: The Surrender of Culture to Technology, 1992

 

Little understood of media ecology comprehension... in Nazi Germany 1937, they didn't have Unicode text to block. When they went into egomania over people's messages about Russians and Surkov information warfare, they had to burn actual magazines and books printed on paper! But social machine users in May 2025 don't have to actually use fire and paper.
