individualism

We live in a world where team work is highly praised and rewarded. Certainly, being able to work as a group with a common objective will not only help us achieve our goals quickly, but effectively. In a choir, for example, the attention and effort of every member is needed for the sake of the performance.

However, what about the recently trend of labelling society as a whole? There is nothing more dangerous than removing individuality from every person, since this is the quality that makes us unique. What would be left, if society becomes a unimind, where every single aspect of our lives has to be shared with others.

It is not coincidence that this trend of demonizing individuality is gaining strength these times, where privacy and certain basic rights are being completely invaded by technology. It is precisely the tech giants the ones trying to gain more access to us in order to achieve an easily malleable society. They are basically working on installing a technocratic state, not so different from those in your favorite dystopic books.

Distractions are the order of the day

For most people it is very difficult to be aware of the dangerous changes that are, slowly but surely, taking place worldwide, because of a feeling of progress. The new technologies make them feel comfortable, entertained and thinking positively about a brighter future to come. But whenever you present to them the risk factors of some of these advances you get immediately cancelled or called lunatic/conspiranoic.

These happens, in part, thanks to the "toxic" label that was introduced some years ago in our culture. Any person who points out the risk or downside of something is considered a "negative person" or just a "toxic" and has to be left alone immediately. This label created a division between those considering all the implications of every single change being implemented in society and the ones that faithfully believe governments and big tech companies are putting people's interests first.

Not even realities like the chinese, where the Party is in control of every aspect of their citizens lives by the means of technology, make them think about the imminent changes heading towards the west. It is precisely the chinese model the one every single government in the world has apparently adopted as their utopic scenario.

Climate change and health factors

It is astonishing how climate change and health factors are being used as an excuse to remove the capacity of each person to think individually. Some of the social movements promote the power of choice and how anybody shouldn't tell people what to think or do about their conscience, body, etc. Yet, so many of these same groups get easily into the "don't think by yourself" wagon promoted by the elites.

Right now the favorite means for them to promote the "unimind" culture are climate change and the public health narratives. These are perfectly suitable to the agenda since it puts "common good" in the first place. If you decide by yourself and your decision "puts in danger" the "common good" or our "common home" then you can be easily neutralized and labelled as an extremist.

Social media has been very helpful in this regard. Twitter mobs have proven the "power of people" to be judge, jury and executioner of anyone that has a personal conception about any topic and, minorities, seem to have the preference in terms of opinion. Whoever thinks differently about social minorities can and will, most likely, be destroyed.

Conclusion

Although some people thinks the only possible solution is chaos, the actual answer would be to normalize God's gift, something that have accompanied us for thousands of years: individuality and freedom of choice/thinking. 

Whenever a big activist circle blames people on "climate change", the reality is that all those who control earth resources: big tech companies, corporations and think tanks, are the true responsible. Ironically, these resource holders are also the ones pulling the strings of the accuser activist circles in the first place, designed to blame every supposed crisis on the common people, on the ones without resources.

Disconnecting from the common mindset seems to be one of the best choices to make these days. Since the world is moving with the stream of media and, this stream only benefits the ones in power, it is safe to believe that trusting the "official" sources of information are no longer the most intelligent think to do.

Having conscience of our individuality has become more than just a right but a duty, specially if we have people on our charge. People, whom may be the target of a non precedential campaign of indoctrination where the falsely so called "science" has all the truths and those who question it are negationist and extremists. 

Individualism: ¿flaw or virtue?

agenda 2030

Hace 100 años la idea del siglo XXI sería, según las expectativas del colectivo, una época de alucinantes avances tecnológicos y sociales. No solo eran parte de la imaginación los gigantes rascacielos y autos voladores, sino también una mayor sensación de libertad y la erradicación de las segregaciones sociales. Sin embargo, en pleno siglo XXI estamos siendo testigos de una gran cantidad de cambios que, en vez de llevarnos en una dirección frontal hacia un futuro brillante, están trasladando hasta nuestros tiempos viejas prácticas que parecieran ser parte de un proceso de involución.

Es indiscutible el avance tecnológico. La humanidad se encamina hacia la automatización de todos los sectores de la industria por medio de las inteligencias artificiales y se halla próxima a la implementación de un proceso transhumanista por medio de la inserción de elementos tecnológicos dentro del cuerpo humano y, aunque estos avances pudieran sonar esperanzadores para muchos, todas estas medidas parecieran obedecer, en cambio, a la búsqueda del control de la actividad, el pensamiento y la integridad física de la sociedad, un escenario que fue presentado 1932 en la obra distópica de Aldous Huxley Un mundo feliz, en la cual la manipulación genética, el uso de drogas opiáceas y la normalización de la sexualidad a muy temprana edad, constituían los elementos angulares en la fabricación de una sociedad sin voluntad, donde el destino de un individuo era determinado desde antes de su nacimiento.

Y es que las señales de que se está iniciando un proceso de control autoritario no muy diferente al que se puede ver en la China actual han ido en aumento, iniciando por la censura de la opinión en redes como Twitter, Instagram, Facebook y YouTube, donde un sistema de fact check puede determinar si un video, imagen  o comentario es apropiado para que sea percibido por otros usuarios y donde escándalos que involucran a instituciones gubernamentales, personalidades políticas o violaciones contra los derechos humanos y animales son obviados de estas plataformas para que no sean del conocimiento de los ciudadanos. Es muy fácil descubrir en estos medios de conexión masivos cómo opiniones que difieren de las versiones oficiales son inmediatamente eliminadas pero elementos como la pornografía son tan fáciles de encontrar y difundir.

Resulta preocupante ver cómo jefes de estado unen fuerzas e invierten fondos públicos en lo que ellos llaman una "guerra contra la desinformación", señalando al pensamiento crítico como una actividad terrorista, pero en un mundo donde las discriminaciones sociales, el hambre y la desmejora educacional van en aumento exponencial.

Una cosa es cierta, muchas personas son cada vez más consientes de las aspiraciones de los grupos que llevan el control, tanto de organizaciones internacionales y gobiernos, como de corporaciones y entidades bancarias y comienzan a darse cuenta de que un choque contra lo que podría considerarse el "Panem" está muy próximo.

El pensamiento crítico es vital en estos tiempos en que la programación predictiva, la estupidización por medio de plataformas que premian el contenido vacío y la alienación de las masas son la norma. Cuestionar la versión oficial no es de anarquistas y asentir sin pensar no es de ciudadanos modelos. Discernir lo bueno de lo malo, lo útil de lo superfluo y cuestionar las políticas del estado profundo es un derecho y un deber de todo aquel que se considere un ser humano con libre albedrío y no un autómata corporativo.
