Grey Realities

The distortion of the psyche and our cerebral physiology, no less the social, by our technological sphere, should definitely not be underestimated. It's an already entrenched subjective machinery that like the virtual flows of time, capital, and all invisible electric waves and rays, provides an all pervading fragment that penetrates each and every one of our reality(s). Now this may sound insidious and all, but this is merely the mode of our current historical flow, and according to its own specific nature is also in flux and in continuous dissolution. This dissolution is the erosion of the physical spacetime which the past 50 odd years of technology have helped reproduce. Naturally these are involved in complex social forces more substantial than any psychic involutions engendered through the metaphysical reconfiguration - which are so subtley and gradually built up (most of the time, at least) and not engineered as Matrix thinking suggests that of course they are overshadowed by the more physical movements of history. Yet the very conduit in which most social interaction occurs now is right before our eyes at this moment and contains more flesh than many of the events 'of the real world'. In fact this conduit has more flesh than my own flesh, and yet it is anti-flesh, the very transcendence of flesh.

It is in this transcendence of the body and indeed the psyche itself where this same transgressed psyche becomes encapsulated within these conduits. The technology of today, all the social media devices intertwining contemporary social networks and thus their communicative and interpersonal exchanges, has both been borne out of the nature of the mind and has in turn compelled the mind to adapt to it. All technology is the materialization of a structure and the restructuring of that structure but at the same time is a tool complementing the mind. Indeed, I might conjecture that many latter-day technologies are false automatons performing the functions which the human mind is capable doing by itself. As it is, this facilitation fulfills our needs but at the cost of an organic culture of spacetime. There is still a physical structure, however, to the cyber realm, but it lacks depth - or I should say it negates the natural human geometry.

I should know, my computer is my best friend. :(
