Well, let’s just dump it in the sewer and say we delivered it. Fry, you can’t just sit here in the dark listening to classical music. The alien mothership is in orbit here. If we can hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.
Fatal. Daddy Bender, we’re hungry. And so we say goodbye to our beloved pet, Nibbler, who’s gone to a place where I, too, hope one day to go. The toilet. Well, thanks to the Internet, I’m now bored with sex. Is there a place on the web that panders to my lust for violence?

Sometimes we hold ourselves back out of fear of who might be watching us and how they’ll judge us based on what they see. We fear the judging eyes.
To free yourself from this judgment, and therefore self-consciousness, try playing with these questions to identify the invisible eye that you imagine is watching and judging your every action all of the time. Remember that which you are aware of you can control; that which you are unaware of controls you.
When were you first aware of being watched?
Who is watching you now?
For what imagined audience do you perform? Dress? Work? Create? Make love?
What look is most often in the eyes of your watchers? Do your actions please them or do they disapprove? Of what are you proud or ashamed of when you imagine that X is watching you?
When you are most self-conscious and self-critical, what ideal are you chasing?
If you weren’t busy watching yourself, what would you do?
By working through these questions you can open up your life to greater spontaneity and freedom.
Don’t underestimate the Force. You don’t believe in the Force, do you? You don’t believe in the Force, do you? Leave that to me. Send a distress signal, and inform the Senate that all on board were killed.
Don’t act so surprised, Your Highness. You weren’t on any mercy mission this time. Several transmissions were beamed to this ship by Rebel spies. I want to know what happened to the plans they sent you.Your eyes can deceive you.
Don’t trust them.
Red Five standing by.
He is here. I’m surprised you had the courage to take the responsibility yourself. You are a part of the Rebel Alliance and a traitor! Take her away! Obi-Wan is here. The Force is with him.
I find your lack of faith disturbing.
I call it luck.
I don’t know what you’re talking about. I am a member of the Imperial Senate on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan–
Dantooine. They’re on Dantooine.
The Force is strong with this one. I have you now. Dantooine. They’re on Dantooine. Red Five standing by. Look, I can take you as far as Anchorhead. You can get a transport there to Mos Eisley or wherever you’re going.
I want to come with you to Alderaan. There’s nothing for me here now. I want to learn the ways of the Force and be a Jedi, like my father before me.
Hey, Luke! May the Force be with you.
Red Five standing by.
I have traced the Rebel spies to her. Now she is my only link to finding their secret base. I care. So, what do you think of her, Han? Hey, Luke! May the Force be with you. The Force is strong with this one. I have you now.
Obi-Wan is here. The Force is with him. I’m trying not to, kid. Dantooine. They’re on Dantooine. Look, I can take you as far as Anchorhead. You can get a transport there to Mos Eisley or wherever you’re going.
Happy beautiful child in headphones listening to music.
No! Alderaan is peaceful. We have no weapons. You can’t possibly… Remember, a Jedi can feel the Force flowing through him. No! Alderaan is peaceful. We have no weapons. You can’t possibly…
I care. So, what do you think of her, Han? Ye-ha! Alderaan? I’m not going to Alderaan. I’ve got to go home. It’s late, I’m in for it as it is. You mean it controls your actions? Escape is not his plan. I must face him, alone.
A tremor in the Force. The last time I felt it was in the presence of my old master. What?! I need your help, Luke. She needs your help. I’m getting too old for this sort of thing. She must have hidden the plans in the escape pod. Send a detachment down to retrieve them, and see to it personally, Commander. There’ll be no one to stop us this time!
You mean it controls your actions? I’m surprised you had the courage to take the responsibility yourself. I suggest you try it again, Luke. This time, let go your conscious self and act on instinct. I have traced the Rebel spies to her. Now she is my only link to finding their secret base.
I care. So, what do you think of her, Han? What?! I’m trying not to, kid. I care. So, what do you think of her, Han?
Still, she’s got a lot of spirit. I don’t know, what do you think? Escape is not his plan. I must face him, alone. You mean it controls your actions? But with the blast shield down, I can’t even see! How am I supposed to fight?

She must have hidden the plans in the escape pod. Send a detachment down to retrieve them, and see to it personally, Commander. There’ll be no one to stop us this time!
You mean it controls your actions? I’m surprised you had the courage to take the responsibility yourself. I suggest you try it again, Luke. This time, let go your conscious self and act on instinct. I have traced the Rebel spies to her. Now she is my only link to finding their secret base.
I care. So, what do you think of her, Han? What?! I’m trying not to, kid. I care. So, what do you think of her, Han?
Still, she’s got a lot of spirit. I don’t know, what do you think? Escape is not his plan. I must face him, alone. You mean it controls your actions? But with the blast shield down, I can’t even see! How am I supposed to fight?
Don’t underestimate the Force. You don’t believe in the Force, do you? You don’t believe in the Force, do you? Leave that to me. Send a distress signal, and inform the Senate that all on board were killed.
Don’t act so surprised, Your Highness. You weren’t on any mercy mission this time. Several transmissions were beamed to this ship by Rebel spies. I want to know what happened to the plans they sent you.Your eyes can deceive you.
Don’t trust them.
Red Five standing by.
He is here. I’m surprised you had the courage to take the responsibility yourself. You are a part of the Rebel Alliance and a traitor! Take her away! Obi-Wan is here. The Force is with him.
I find your lack of faith disturbing.
I call it luck.
I don’t know what you’re talking about. I am a member of the Imperial Senate on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan–
Dantooine. They’re on Dantooine.
The Force is strong with this one. I have you now. Dantooine. They’re on Dantooine. Red Five standing by. Look, I can take you as far as Anchorhead. You can get a transport there to Mos Eisley or wherever you’re going.
I want to come with you to Alderaan. There’s nothing for me here now. I want to learn the ways of the Force and be a Jedi, like my father before me.
Hey, Luke! May the Force be with you.

Happy beautiful child in headphones listening to music.
No! Alderaan is peaceful. We have no weapons. You can’t possibly… Remember, a Jedi can feel the Force flowing through him. No! Alderaan is peaceful. We have no weapons. You can’t possibly…

It’s not as if I didn’t know this already. We are, without a doubt, collectively addicted to the Internet. It doesn’t matter how many digital detoxes you go on, or how many times you delete all the social media apps from your phone (to include WhatsApp, Messenger, Telegram), you will always come back.
There’s a transitional quote in the new Netflix documentary – The Social Dilemma – in which, Edward Tufte says:
There are only two industries that refer to their customers as ‘users’: illegal drugs and software.”
The Internet is our soma:
Soma is a drug that is handed out for free to all the citizens of the World State. In small doses, soma makes people feel good. In large doses, it creates pleasant hallucinations and a sense of timelessness. The citizens of the World State are encouraged to take soma by “hypnopaedic” sayings like “A gram is better than a damn.” When they experience strong negative emotions, citizens take a soma “holiday” to distract them from the unpleasant feelings. John sees soma as a tool of social control. He says that taking soma makes the citizens of the World State “slaves.”
Lord knows I want to kick the habit. I want to real bad, but nothing short of a zombie apocalypse, where all the technology lay in dust and ruin like Oyzimandia’s statue, will stop me from coming back to this filthy habit.
As Hunter Thompson once described politics and journalism, it’s “a habit worse than heroin”.
But what can we do? We’ll never be able to put the cat back in the bag now that’s out.
The Social Dilemma is worth watching if you haven’t seen it already. I don’t think it’ll tell you anything you don’t already know or are at least aware of, but it has made me reflect on my own philosophical stance on the dilemma of social media and the apps that fuels our phone all of which are designed to keep pumping dopamine into your system.
