Warning: Reality Is Escaping Out The Back Door- Patrick Wood

Authored by Patrick Wood via Technocracy.news,
The total collapse of reality may be at hand. We have already witnessed mass formation during the Great Panic of 2020, where large swaths of the world seemingly lost touch with reality. That was just a foretaste of what is about to come.
This is hard to understand, and you might need to read it multiple times. Do it, lest you fall prey to a simulacrum.
There’s a big word that you can add to your vocabulary: Simulacrum.
It is a hard word to wrap your head around, but one you are not too likely to forget. Indeed, you should not forget it!
Collins defines it as: “1) an image; likeness; 2) a vague representation; semblance; 3) a mere pretense; sham.”
Cambridge Dictionary says: “something that looks like or represents something else”.
Purdue University put it this way: “Something that replaces reality with its representation.”
Jean Baudrillard wrote about this in a 1981 paper called “The Precession of Simulacra”, where he digs deeper, making a distinction between a simulation and a simulacrum.
Whereas representation attempts to absorb simulation by interpreting it as a false representation, simulation envelops the whole edifice of representation itself as a simulacrum. Such would be the successive phases of the image:
it is the reflection of a profound reality;
it masks and denatures a profound reality;
it masks the absence of a profound reality;
it has no relation to any reality whatsoever;
it is its own pure simulacrum.
So, the switch for reality is anti-reality: “The simulacrum is never what hides the truth – it is truth that hides the fact that there is none.”
This whole process does not happen in a vacuum because it involves human agency. Reality exists but human perception distorts it.
Just for review, reality slips into distortion, then into simulation, then finds its resting place in a state of simulacrum. Reality is subsumed by the simulacrum.
An example of simulacrum in the making It is estimated that 90 percent of all online content will be generated by AI by 2025. This means news, social media posts, chats, pictures, videos, podcasts, websites, etc. A deluge of fake social media accounts will be run by AI. In short, everything.
Nina Schick, A.I. thought leader, wrote,
“What generative AI can do, essentially, is create new things that would have thus far been seen as unique to human intelligence or creativity, Generative AI can create across all media, so text, video, audio, pictures – every digital medium can be powered by generative AI. So, I think these valuations that you’re seeing for OpenAI are actually going to go up and you’re going to start to see even more generative AI companies which have universal applications across many industries in 2023.”
People will remember back to 2023 images and think that nothing has changed in 2025.
Warning : The Total Collapse Of Reality Could Be At Hand As described above, a simulacrum is anti-reality.
This is not a paradigm shift of reality. This is not a “new realty”. This is not reality, period. Unfortunately, billions of people risk being captured by it.
While everyone is looking at shiny new simulacra forming right before their eyes, reality is escaping out the back door.
So basically, 90% of what we see & read online will be generated and therefore a false narrative, by AI. Totally believable. One remedy is to leave tech behind as much as possible and talk to friends and family around the world to understand what is going on.
On line? I was afraid for a minute it would be like that Spiderman movie.
That would change everything!
Sounds like we need to get back to actual human contact in the future, and leave all devices at home. Also, vehicles may need to become a bit more manual in their operation in order to have a more contented existence.
Oh boy. So much pretext for a narrative that the truth that comes out spilling is all "AI Generated".
Is it possible to use old analog recordings to defeat the deceptions created by digital AI technology?
Plot twist: That whole post was written by AI.
The facade we live in, Food at the store, Wood at the yard. Deep into our homes. General security and well supplied hospitals.
( The?) Simulacrum is everywhere. When the veil drops we will all have to take a hard looksie, now won't we?
True. I will not forget this word! We are living in an simulacrum. sĭm″yə-lā′krəm
Further reason, as if we needed any, to reject MSM and politicians' views on ANYTHING. But then what's the alternative? How does one stay truly informed when everything is suspect? Of course one way would be to isolate completely, but that is precisely what [they] want...each of us divided and isolated in our own little silo of solipsism and unable to act in unison.
It's a quandary.
Want truth? Read the Bible.
We had a beautiful, bountiful world. We were all free to live as we chose, go where we pleased. The world was full of wonder and peril, pleasure and pain. But we were free.
Then we decided to make a new world-- one with more bells and whistles, fewer discomforts, and less toil. Now here we are, chained to our machines, bowing to our masters and groveling for the things that we had in the old world. All the elements of nature have price tags-- water, air, land, trees and plants. We've achieved the impossible. We've attained security in an insecure world. Are you content?

What?
a) Something that replaces reality with its representation? Ones consent to the representation.
b) Something that replaces reality (perceivable) with its representation (suggested).
c) Something that replaces reality (sound) with its representation (words).
Don't take any notice of anything French Philosophers come out with, its all utter nonsense. The French like their philosophy to be very difficult and impenetrable, if its understandable they believe its lies.
The philosophers themselves play up to this as they are lionised for it and are treated as rock stars, money, women and fame are theirs for the taking and they have to do is talk drivel.
