Hmmm.
I see what you're saying.
I just feel that tapping into the shadow should be a private thing. These perverse books/movies are totally banal, and they're not an accurate expression of what's lying under the surface for most people out there. That's what they WANT to program us with... it's some kind of twisted version of our nature that they hope catches on and warps us even more. In a way that is beneficial to their goal of having ultimate control over us.
I just don't agree with plastering our private business (the shadow) all over the place for everyone to see...
Admittedly I say a lot of obscene stuff on my site and some social media platforms, but there are _some_ lines I don't cross. And certainly in real life, I wouldn't say most of the stuff I say online. The internet is a massive library, news stand, and a place to say (basically) whatever the fuck you want. That's how I see it. Yeah, it's public... but it's not REAL LIFE. It's a place for expression and creativity, it's an outlet. So I don't think it's inappropriate to be totally honest here. That's what I've always loved about the internet... you get to say what you REALLY think, under the cover of anonymity as well. The anonymity is what encourages people to be so honest. This is how I've learned what's really at the heart of humanity. Thanks, internet! Some people (such as myself) choose to take it a step further and use their real picture beside the things they say... now that is probably regrettable, and it's unnecessary. It's really an ego thing, and I should be smarter than that. But I've done it anyway because I feel that my involvement online has been an evolutionary process and it was kind of 'time'. Plus, I don't give a shit what people think... so what if my online ramblings get tied to my real identity someday? I am not going to just sit on the fence and lead a boring existence. You have to stand for something in life, and I stand for honest expression. People can say whatever they want, because there's no tangible harm in SAYING anything. People are way too thin-skinned these days.
Having said that, I REALLY dislike this new (in the last 6 or 7 years) 'fusing' of the internet with real life. There's too much crossover. Back in the day, what happened on the internet stayed on the internet. It was like fight club... you don't talk about fight club. And likewise, your behaviors online didn't carry over into "real life". Your online stuff was a little secret you could smile about whilst waiting in line at the supermarket. Now, as a result of mobile devices in my opinion, the lines have been totally blurred and it's for the worst.
Now there are all these classless weirdos going way too far with shit and saying super embarrassing things in public (in REAL LIFE), like celebrity feminists talking about their vaginas in front of massive audiences, and then that gets broadcast all over the internet.
Mind rot... it's all total mind rot. The whole thing.
