Alienating format

I'm tired of the current format, and the habits and customs of digital networks are tiring other networks - those of my modest little neurons! So, between the fascination and intoxication induced by the blue of a digitized ocean in which we absolutely must bathe, each and every one of us must remain vigilant so as not to sink into the abyss of the winding and tortuous meanders of the frenetic practice of digital networks designed to create and maintain dependency, the intoxication of the deep... For while for some the networks will have enabled them to keep their "head above water", for others they will have made them "drink the cup", while others will have outright "drowned" in them...

Their influence has become inescapable... The big names of Silicon Valley are almost being dethroned by their Chinese counterparts... The new communication codes are now those of a world built on the "disposable Kleenex" model... One video, three seconds of viewing, another video, zap, zap, zap, link, zap, forward/hear "share", zap, zap again!!!! Time-consuming, energy-guzzling, addictive, the practice of networking is akin to the gambling debate! The "freedom" to moderate their use is a fallacious argument put forward by the listed companies offering these digital services, which are imposed on our daily lives by force or by choice...

Digital platforms are hungry ogres for whom the orgy of numbers, the law of lobbies and the supremacy of algorithms dictate the tempo and rules of an increasingly unhealthy environment! From now on, it's artificial intelligence and "deep learning" that are making the few clear-headed people who see the next stage as not so much an alarm bell as a wake-up call, like the issues of ecology, pollution or changing behavior in the face of climate change. It's already too late! But as a glimpse of the worst to come... Generations "decerebrated", brains conditioned to binary analyses, without any nuance... The "truth" facing those who are in the "wrong", in the "bad..." The eternal question of "good or bad? The eternal question of good or evil, which we're constantly reminded of... Things in life being reduced to one or the other, to an opposition between good and evil, black and white, with no other shades of grey and its multiple declensions... "Without any nuance! So binary!

In short, let's not be fooled, let's take responsibility, each of us doing what we think is right, good or just... But let's also question our behavior and its consequences.... Because when spending more time in front of your screen than soaking up the life around you becomes a drug you can't live without, then it's high time to rethink our lifestyles, to set up markers, benchmarks... Some are still resisting, others are choosing to disconnect.

So, if I wanted to try the adventure without ever being fooled by the "products and other by-products" to which I subscribed in one way or another, I also wanted to play the game in my own way, without giving in to the multiple temptations or to the injection of money into a system that promises so much! From now on, I'll continue to use these modern "habits and customs" in moderation, not because they're unavoidable, but because they're an integral part of today's communication codes. From now on, I'll be distancing myself even more, isolating myself in autarky, favouring autonomy in every aspect... I'll only have access to the networks on certain occasions... So, I'll see you soon... here or elsewhere to follow the continuation of my "musical" adventures... and of my reflections and actions that some will judge... as they wish... with freedom and independence as my driving forces!
