A Paradigm Shift Towards Human Automation

This is an odd post, though I feel I have to write it given where we are now in the modern context.

I am sure many normal people would have noticed a paradigm shift nearly three decades ago across the wider world, more notable in western nations, or those impacted by western ideologies.

You may have read my other posts and wondered what a paradigm shift is? Well, it refers to a pattern or a sequence that changes and something new comes into being. This could be political, technological, sociological, biological, etc... In this case, with this article, we are talking about human behaviour, which is sociological.

At some point in our history, people started to change; they started to become more self-driven and focused less on the people around them. There are a number of reasons for this. The most important reason is big society, as we compact more and more people into the same spaces by building up or below ground to accommodate increases in population; the towns and cities become more populous and the smaller towns and villages become less populated or are abandoned completely.

The reasons for this are actually deliberate, it's a part of the great social engineering experiment that most countries in the world are a part of; it's modelled around a western capitalist system whereby people are driven to more densely populated areas for opportunities. Such opportunities are deliberately geared for the already populous areas to attract people there.

When people are compacted into the same areas of land, such as large cities and towns, they become a resource that is easier to manage and control. It's harder to control people in less populated areas where they are scattered around a country in various places.

Therefore, infrastructure is deliberately left trailing in more remote areas and, as such, fewer resources are allocated to those areas. Which result in zero opportunities, or far less being available in those areas.

Older people become less relevant in such areas as they frustrate the younger generations with their cultural values; they have settled and are rooted because of culture, new opportunities are less important to those who have financial stability, and many own their own homes. Therefore, they can't relate to what's happening with the younger generations who don't want to live in a place that has little infrastructure, zero or minimal opportunities; in essence, they are dead and lifeless towns and villages that may have little or no forward momentum.

This is the main reason why younger generations are less connected to their cultures and move to the larger towns and cities for better opportunities, so they can live their lives normally and have a chance to grow themselves.

Of course, with the hustle and bustle of the larger towns and cities, people actually end up becoming more autonomous as they become like drones locked into the 9 to 5 routine and living their lives exclusively for work.

There isn't really time for other people, and so people only focus on their direct families and closest friends within their own bubbles. Many pretend they care about others and will reach out sometimes, but that's usually when they themselves are feeling lonely or perhaps even guilty for being a sucky friend.

It's easier to go online and connect with somebody than it is in person these days. It's actually been going that way for the past 15 years. It's just been exacerbated in the modern context with the rise of platforms like Twitter and Facebook.

However, people are actually being conditioned to think a certain way, and even behave a certain way as they are herded around like cattle into more populous areas and led to believe that they must cling to capitalist structures to earn a wage to provide for themselves or their families.

Online and through the education systems people are also being guided to think and behave a certain way as well.

Eventually, it has reached a point where many people can no longer think critically, they have become more like autonomous robots, rather than free-thinking human beings.

As such, anything that challenges them to think and behave differently is met with defensive action. Like a robot that has been programmed to respond a certain way to different types of input (Acceptable and unacceptable input).

We now live in a world where most people don't care about other people. They don't have time to listen to those in need anymore. People in the wider context have just become irrelevant, especially those of us who are free-thinkers trying to reach out to a world of autonomous robotic people.
