TAKE THE WHITEPILL AND SPREAD IT
I think we have all watched a video online about how awesome humanity is or seen some video that inspired the crap out of us.
I remember watching Redbulls videos on how humanity is awesome and carrying that feeling with me for a week.
This was before the algorithms came, I imagined the day when the algorithms would be stronger and video editors having more tools. It would be a positive renaissance of empowerment! I imagined our entire earth connected by media searching for the most empowering media online. It wouldn’t be long before I could use my computer as a source of inspiration at any time. With an algorithm that gained strength, to give ME strength.
Imagine how amazing the videos would be, how unifying, how empowering when the world was interconnected with these super powerful algorithms helped us find what we need most to become our best selves!
Looking back this was naive. Today the widely recognized engagement/extraction/destruction algorithm is the infinite short form video feed. Designed to maximize the amount of life force it draws from any individual who uses it. No better than a soul sucking demon who wants you or your child in bed all day doing nothing but consuming. Those inspiring videos that motivate and have someone leave the app? Yeah, that video will get punished by the algorithm. Know these apps for what they are, supercharged digital cigarettes for your brain optimized with billions of dollars to steal your attention away to a small box from the vast real world. Mental health problems are notably increasing from this. This is a call for you to look with me towards the other side of the chart and support us in bringing to the world, what was always meant to be.
An empowerment algorithm.
An app with the sole goal of getting inspiring and empowering you to become your best self. We maximize how fast we get you off the app, inspired and ready for life. We're confused that we’ve literally never as a humanity trained an empowerment algorithm.
Right now we need to find the empowerment ourselves, to spread the empowerment algorithm and recognize shorts, tiktok, and reelz as low status cigarettes that make you dull.
From our ride, we hope to restore balance to our world where the machines will not try to destroy, our will but instead they will fight with us instead DEstroy or VICES.
Together, we can make DEVICES into what they were always meant to be.
