ScuzzBlog: Diaries November 2024 Entry 05th November 2024: Post 1: Virtual Insanity. Virtual Insanity. Is the human race at risk of becoming detached from its own world? Has the advances in digital communication severed the connection between humans and the very world around them? The reason I say this is because of the way the human race now treats the world that it lives in. It has become a place to view and record and then dispense its data through the window of the phone. From what I witness each day the endless stream of images, sounds, video of everyday things that humans record only seem to become valid once they are uploaded to the cloud so that others can witness their lives through the digital format. I am convinced that an individual would stand in front of the approaching train and let it charge into them, devoid until the last that this was anything other than a great video opportunity. I see lines of people with phones aloft recording events with only one purpose and that is to share with an invisible world. and yet the tangible real world simply performs as a catalyst for video chat and uplink. The very talented Jamiroquai postured some time back of the perils of virtual insanity. The group had been struck by a world that was living underground. The metaphor being that we cannot reside inside a virtual existence when reality is all around us. I say all this because there are real challenges for future generations to deal with that require a firm handle on reality. Not a perceived reality, not an artificial reality, not a virtual reality. It requires a connection, a bond between conscious living humans that are real flesh and blood and not some digital representation of one. The question that we should all be asking is how much of what we interact with on a day to day basis is a creation of our own virtual reality. Has the world that we perceive only visible when we interact with the mobile devices we possess. At some point humans will long for the day when they can throw open a door and take in the air and joy in the company of real people. It is not too late for humanity to broaden its perspective and recapture the moral high ground. You just have to resist uploading it to your telephone. I apologise for borrowing an image of Jamiroquai and blurring the edges. It really is a thought provoking song and a video that is a masterpiece in its own right. I was amazed at the way they created the illusion of the moving floor. Talented people, go treat yourself to a viewing on YouTube. For useless twisting of our new technology Oh, now there is no sound For we all live underground Virtual Insanity.
