Internet addiction

I’m not interested in trying to make a single person think the way I do, anymore. What a silly thing. But, I will put forth this food for thought: people are complex mish-mashes of positive and negative, for the most part. The real enemy, to my mind, is Facebook, who’s already copped to singling out negative posts and presenting them to you with the expressed intent of pissing you off and having you subsequently post more negativity. Why is this done? Because rage is a drug, like any other. You get a little endorphin rush every time you get pissed. They have crowd sourced a stimulant, using algorithms instead of chemistry. When faceless corporations have commodified my rage, my rebellion will be relentless positivity. I will choose to be happy and sane in spite of everything. I will focus on what I can control. I will donate money to the causes I believe in and help in what little way I can. But now I refuse to be angry on the internet, because every time I do that an ant crawls out of my virtual mouth and joins the horde already stacking and forming into something like an entity, the iboga tree man’s evil twin, not here to rid you of an addiction to a substance but rather to create an addiction where there is no substance whatsoever.
