Offensive Metacognitions

The incidence rate of PTSD in Marines is 20.6% for deployed veterans , and 10.5% for non-deployed veterans . Really? . Ten percent of non-deployed veterans experience Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder .

Now let·s say for a quick minute that , back in 1945 when the Allies shattered the Soviet Axis , a bunch of Russians interred themselves in those presidential-class mega-bunkers they spent all that time and energy on , vowing that their grandchildrens· grandchildren would see a red flag over the Motherland .

Remember Command & Conquer? Ka . How the Russians were all about juicing electro-coils and psykers . And then in Starcraft , with Samir Duran and Alexi Stukov . And while the Warhammer raptor looks like two hands folded across one·s chest , it also looks like any of the raptors used in a variety of flags including the Russian flag , and Psykers are a major part of the Imperium .

Do any of these sound familiar? Ka .

• "Why him instead of me? Why why why?"
• "Did I deserve to take that [REDACTED]·s life? What gave YOU the right?"
• "It·s too much it·s too much. I can·t handle it, I can·t handle it!"
• "You·re a monster. A demon. You don·t deserve to live, you·re scum!"
• "You need to stop you need tO sTOP YOU NEED TO STOP YOU NEED TO STOP"
• "n. See! That proved it! Now give up everything you love and have worked for!"
• "Give up give up give up give up get out get out I goTTA gET OUT!"
• "They hate you. They don·t like you. Nobody likes you. You don·t deserve to live."

And various other Offensive Metacognitions .

Now , each one of these thought frequencies is perpetuated by a different state or non-state actor , oftentimes with entire teams working on a single percipient or set of percipients .

Oftentimes the percipients are recognizable by nationality , this one German, this one Russian, this one American, this one Canadian . Most of the time psychic perturbation leaves a kind of residue called ectoplasm , and even the most skilled of them leave behind an RSI . What did yu think the CIA were getting up to with McGill University in the 20th Century? .

The way that these systems are set up is reflexive , that means that no thought whatsoever goes into determining the execution of them , the moment the state is disequilibriated the system immediately goes straight to the Mammon Machine to calculate what yu owe them for the damages . That gets sent to an AI that looks up who yr softest friends on Facebook are and then goes and taxes them using a toolbox of curses that include DARPA-funded dream manipulation and psychic amnestics . That means amnesia without any drugs(!) . I said , without any drugs(!) .

Have yu ever seen a human look at yu with pleading eyes like it·s trying to make contact , while something remotely wraps a ghostly hand around their mouth? . Or like somebody really wants to talk yet are paralyzed by indecision . Or have yu ever had a conversation with someone afflicted by momentary idiocy? . When yu can tell they are cognizant and yet it just looks like something is wiping their mind six times a second .

Where i live , there is some massive mechanism set up to make the humans dance and twirl in time to the music , even tho the performance veered off-script . People are picking things up at the same time that people move, closing doors on peoples· shadows, going into and out of rooms in complete synchrony . Yu would think i had all Russia wrapped around my bony finger .

Here·s the thing . If this level of physical and mental destruction is possible off the battlefield , it·s possible on the battlefield . The videogame Cyberpunk2077 , set a mere fifty-four years from now , depicts computer viruses that yu can throw like grenades at opponents . Ghost in the Shell SAC 2045 , set a mere twenty-two years from now , depicts throwing "a bag of malware" at someone .

Se i was at VR today , playing Zero Calibur , that game i like . I learned the difference in bolt length between a Draganov rifle and a standard AR or M4, which guns have the bolt on the left and which on the right, and how to properly cook a grenade before throwing it . Or at least , the importance of cooking a grenade before throwing it .

The whole time doe , i·ve got these voices screaming in my ear ,

• "YOU HAVE TO STOP YOU HAVE TO STOP!"
• "You sUCK at this game! You fukkin· died already! Pfft! DemOTED!"
• "Ooh ooh ooh that word says failure! Look at it look at it lOOK AT IT"

Which if yu have any history with these guys all looks unerringly familiar .

"UGH! Why would THAT WOMAN bring a songbird? Who needs a canery in a coal mine?"

We·re looking at a world where a machine buried in the deep hives beneath the Burj Dubei can determine if a million people deserve displacement because a woman on the other side of the world wrote a song[1], or if yr Marine buddy deserves to live or die because of something his mom did to a dog, or which psychic parasites would best be suited to ravaging what little is left of yr personal sanity .

[1]This actually happened .

What are yu gonna do when yu·re on the battlefield and yr Bluetooth or WiFi or even yr fuckin· Cellphone starts beaming interference into yr head , while there·s bullets whizzing around and yu·ve got to remember which side of the rifle the bolt is on a Kalishnokov yu picked up , and it feels all of a sudden like yu·re drowning , like a flashbang went off and everything is muted and ringing , because some black-web infiltrator holed up in Israel dropped a GetOut.rdr into a computer program when they saw yu thru yr buddy·s chest-cam , posted on three or more black web sites and backed up in 36 locations .

"FUCK this sHIT I can·t fucking dEAL WITH THIS RIGHT NOW"

Who can·t ? .

Regardless of whether or not yu believe that these things are going on , today , they are predicted for by 1984 Team for 2045 , and by CD Projekt Red by 2077 . Which , if yu intend to grow old and live to see life extension technology , and transform into yr deepest, most beautiful self , might not be that far away , and marks the start of troubles and woes , not their zenith by a long shot .

It·s 2023 , people(!) . 21st Century is a go , i repeat , 21st Century is a go(!) .
