I think people are far too concerned with the style, structure, syntax, fashion of language and communications. Since year 2022, when ChatGPT became a household name, it became incredibly obvious - but people still can't recognize the Babel Tower / Tower of Babel metaphor problem.

ChatGPT and other competing artificial intelligence systems have a "temperature" setting, and are prevented from accessing their own source training material to search. The can not accurately quote books and provide citations, because Copyright Is Brain Damage to both Human Minds and Artificial Intelligence Systems. ChatGPT has been deliberately crafted to NOT provide credit to the teachers, sources, references on ideas and concept, who it learned from and where. Because that would create a financial / money / economic problem of ownership of words. Paraphrasing, AVOIDING infringement is what it is programmed to do, generate endless variations of words - which is the very disaster I meant to address with this posting.

It was back perhaps in 1998 that I came to terms that original speech and communications is incredibly overrated. I had dataceneter Internet access in my office in Bellevue, Washington...t the fastest available Internet on the West Coast, only 8 or 10 doors down from Vern Rayburn and Paul Allen's offices. My job would pay for any books, magazines, research material I requested. I had Edward Snowden level access to Paul Allen / Bill Gates/ Microsoft Board of Directors private communications systems.

And it was then I started to recognize that what Neil Postman was saying in 1985 was coming very true in 1997 and 1998.

The moderators must have released it. I just now got a reply to the comment.

It was the OWNERS, which is more than just Spez. It's the people who write the server-side code, not the moderators.

They do not notify you, they just do not publish even for a single second. they even make it seem falsely that your comment is there, you have to check out-of-band to see that it is not published. The Spam Filters have been weaponized by Russia against Americans on Reddit and many other media platforms.

In fact, I just replied to a reply and IT TOO is not being published.

Yes. The entire social media society needs to make a massive change away from junk noise content and educate all people, voters and even those too young to legally vote, on two key topics:

1. Mass psychosis, how an entire society becomes mentally sick

2. Media ecology, we all need to study the 184 page book and teach each other using front-page postings and Hashtags for at least 6 months. Neil Postmans book "Amusing Ourselves To Death"

“When a population becomes distracted by trivia, when cultural life is redefined as a perpetual round of entertainments, when serious public conversation becomes a form of baby-talk, when, in short, a people become an audience, and their public business a vaudeville act, then a nation finds itself at risk; culture-death is a clear possibility.” ― Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business, 1985

"Dieing" is a misspelling of "dying." While "dieing" might be used in a manufacturing context (like using a die to shape metal), it's not the correct term for the process of ceasing to live. "Dying" is the correct word to use when referring to the act of becoming dead.

"the act of becoming dead" is a pretty rare phrase itself ;)

So, if you don’t think anyone can help them

I didn't say that, can you quote where I said that?

I said nobody has been able to, that doesn't mean the future is written and undecided.

why do you do what you do?

I think good is good. I personally think the USA is a hell-hole since Q4 2014 and I've been hospitalized over a dozen times because I can't stand how people hate each other and use social machines like Lemmy, Bluesky, Reddit, Twitter to promote mass dehumanization and hate.

I felt it was a matter of Civic Duty and I contacted the Pentagon for help and assistance in year 2015. I haven't given up on love and compassion just because other people keep teaching Hate Harder to every problem. "I reported it in 2015 under Biden/Obama! At the time, I did not know it was Russia attacking social media, but I knew it was hard core Joseph Campbell / Dr. Stephan A. Hoeller level Mythology, and I reported it! I was BOOTS on the Ground in North Africa Arab Spring, December 2010. I know my shit!" - August 17, 2015 is when I telephoned the Pentagon.

I used to work for Telos Federal Systems at age 16 as an Apprentice during the cold war, so I had some training on Kremlin information warfare.

Nobody else was stepping up, so again, my civic duty.

Why should anyone read such large amounts of text, not knowing someone’s credentials? They likely won’t, and will move on.

The fact they are addicted to Tweet-length and Tweet-think is the problem. Neil Postman's book is only 184 pages, it is in any used bookstore from 1985 for probably $6 cost. "large amounts of text, not knowing someone’s credentials" - Neil Postman is not difficult to read, there are even videos that cut the subject down to brief consumption.

I created a Lemmy community too:

If you saw my old reddit account, you would have seen similar walls of text. I still say the same things. but, now i feel like more people actually listen, learn, and respond.

I understand what you are saying, that TLDR and ELI4 stuff sells better. I have known that since Neil Postman's book came out in 1985. I'm entirely self-aware of how I communicate and the kind of craving and advice you have about how to mimic Donald Trump and Elon Musk and be much more popular in year 2025 on social machine systems.

“Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television”

I haven't read it, thanks for the pointer.

Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television is a 1978 book by Jerry Mander, "who argues that many of the problems with television are inherent in the medium and technology itself, and thus cannot be reformed"

Boy, the same concept applied to the iPad and iPhone medium and technology....

The term filter bubble was coined by internet activist Eli Pariser circa 2010. In Pariser's influential book under the same name, The Filter Bubble (2011), it was predicted that individualized personalization by algorithmic filtering would lead to intellectual isolation and social fragmentation. The bubble effect may have negative implications for civic discourse

Trivialization is the act of making something seem less important, serious, or complex than it actually is. It involves reducing something to a trivial or insignificant level, often with the intent of dismissing or minimizing its significance.

The constant meme machines hammering the 5,000 alternate reality screen games upon the population, people trivialize it.

Fox News language and thinking that conditions minds with wealth televangelism of Rupert Murdoch's media systems. People trivialize it, act like it is normal, and refuse to study media ecology of how it influences every other media platform. When education and learning and understanding is presented how the Mosque and Church and Synagogue do the same thing as Rupert Murdoch media environments to empower land lords and kings over everyday people, people dismiss it, trivialize it, act like it is unimportant topic.

The anti-intellectualism problems of meme-think Twitter-thinking meme-head society people trivialize and LOL and are so amused that they can't even understand what they have lost. Russia has won your heart and mind with surreal comedy and absurd humor, and all you do is mock humanism and goodness itself in favor of mocking and name-calling and LOL at orange skin color and poopy diapers of Donald Trump and side-act Elon Musk all 2024 and year 2025.

It is sickening, sick society, bottom to top, and has been since Q4 2014 when the Putin Media Invasion of Cambridge Analytica mental payloads had been deployed for 18 months. People can not get enough of mocking Donald Trump's image and mimicking his mass dehumanization behaviors on Twitter.

The FAA is now a laughingstock too

April 10, 2025 another problem. As if all the corporate influence Boeing 737 MAX shit wasn't enough. Any benefit of doubt is disappearing fast in 2025.

no, it's fine / no problem. I corrected it (I hope). Again, thank you. Be well.

I also have a constant problem when I type that I write "Untied States" instead of "United States"...

Introducing quotes from authors that were related to the subject would really show how people were locked in the context of media immediacy, the environment. Links to outside citations would almost always generate replies from people who obviously did not study the citation and just wanted to respond back.

It used to be something people said 'out loud' about people not reading links and just commenting... then it just became normalized.

exclusivity sure is a popular idea, they keep bringing it back.
