Treaty of the Individual in Cyberspace

Owning your data will save our water supply.

By BurnoutPublished 3 years ago 3 min read

Infringement Upon the declaration of cyberspace.

Certain truths appear to be self evident. Especially the truth of our humanity; we move towards equality and equity of each individual. This global cascade, truly has a mark within the history of every culture. For all, great battles, triumphing sciences and strides towards human rights was done as a true community. Yet the era of misinformation surrounding us only proves that the bastardization of this process. That the menticide of a culture is an unstable tumor unable to categorize it self, besides for parasitic growth. Whilst the willpower of the collective individual would rather make the crawl towards mutual destruction than be consumed.

Facing the wrath of a self declared apocalypse. We face the solutions of the very real climate change by the ones fueling the fire. Consumed by the current infrastructure of a false construct of a Babylon. Our version of 'cyberspace' within these past two decades. Have only cascaded the omnipresent necessity of privacy. Our digital foot prints being bought and traded like stock. Our individual mirrored and traced, to feed algorithmic deep learning supercomputers. Company positions between these data driven companies are even interchangeable to government bureaus and agencies. There is no conspiracy; just freedom conspired to be extinguished. Yet this machining of our habits, this cremating of the core of our conscious. Creates even the condition for the earth to be destroyed. This irresponsible wreckage has already depleted the lakes that Mid-Western, North-Americans depend on for survival. Within the past twenty years Lake mead has been reduced to a puddle. This Man made lake; which powers the great hoover damn will tumble to rubble; all to power "great" data centers of the region. While we face increased monitoring and mandates of our own utilities; especially those within the regions of scarce resources. Individuals are pointed at to reduce their impact onto the earth. While large corporations will destroy those who truly look into their impact. Boasting numbers of greener energy; whilst readily preparing patents and slander cases for their water usage.

Holding even the keys of sustainability; they dangle it over us like we're children or worse cattle. The "machine" haunts our future, with its reminders of our cages. Buying up the farmland, even our homes our being bought up under us. All for very progressive solutions curated by demonic conditions they cause. Agriculture should be ran under sustainability but we should not trust those; that want to trade the immense supply of water to be saved. With steam-stacks that drive the global surveillance state further. Taking steps to secure your own data is the easy first step. Driving the wedge between this systems power over oneself and ones future, is the only way to sign this treaty. Do your part, decentralize the economy. We declared freedom as a collective in cyberspace back in 1994. Please follow through with this commitment of your freedom. One's own server will serve later.

As a collective we need to show that we are capable of making our own conscious decisions towards both a greener and, individually fulfilled future. So quickly has humanity turned into curated creatures bound to propaganda that crafts deeper polarization. It is important to love thy neighbor no matter the circumstances of your differences. Rebuilding a web to be truly interconnected; instead of us all being fly's in the web. Those that feel found should always keep searching and only encourage others to do the same. No one is immune to propaganda, so perhaps the only suggestion, one could ever make is to infer is the doctors whom discovered this; fracture that aches upon the domestication of our minds. With the hopes that true students of Joost Merloo, can create a new academic environment, free somewhat from memetic chains and hostile ideas more conscious and aware than most individuals hosting them. Hopefully then the confines of human tragedy can be an obsession to be laid rectitude in a box; instead of an illusion we mock.
