Suddenly something starts to itch in my mind. The basic bones of Internet is built with the genetic material of the art of advertising. The race for our attention is won by the ones shouting loudest, using the brightest colors, and the most nice-looking images. Our actions become controlled by rather shallow reactions from our unconscious.
How do I guard myself? How do I boost other parts of my brain activities to act and stay in control? This issue has been with me for at least forty years. Possibly even eighty years. During my upbringing I think my parents allowed me ample of space. Sorry to say, I counteracted their efforts by acting on a substantial urge for them to teach me how to live. The roots for my attitudes were feelings of being extremely lonely and abandoned. I state this in contrast with being overly cared for.
Back to me and my present digital environment. At this early morning hours I sense a slight fear of being in the process of flattening myself out. Immediate counteraction is on demand!
But, how to do that? How to nourish the ambiguity of being human.
