I am learning

The new me. I dream of the new me. I am far off yet, but I am on the right path.

It’s a journey worth taking. What have you to lose anyway but rather only discover the power of that is within you.

Is it worth it? I say let’s find out.

The not needed synthetic in you.

The strange part is that the chaos that exists is just for your pain, the madness within you the passion for you needs to be preserved for your consumer gain. The consumer in you is being served to the profitable you but at a loss of you. IF there is a need it needs to be addressed, they who address are the ones addressing because it is implied that they serve you for a profit from you, and at a cost at you. A desensitising targeting channel if based on the fundamentals of effective, efficient solutions to a human need, it will not only be useful but in fact, will be welcomed with open arms. The yard farm known as humanity not only serves like an ecosystem where earthlings live by and walk but also serves as an open field for an experiment on masses to serve a profit-oriented objective as well as to establish another system to serve the outcome of the previous system. An aspirin is needed when a headache is beyond control. A fire brigade is needed when the fire is beyond control. Wireless is needed when wires are beyond control. Hospitals are needed when sicks are beyond control. Sicks are needed when pharmaceutical industries are beyond control. AND likewise, synthetic based plastic products are needed when the human urge for immediate solution solving plastic is beyond control. Be it cup-noodles, be it a bottle of water, a soda bottle, or be it any daily product, it is most likely packaged in plastic or some by-product of plastic because nothing beats a quick, convenient, easy to open and use BUT non-bio degradable solution. Right? This discovery of plastic has changed, revolutionised and exploded and exploited within the cross-hair of corporate consumerism and profitisms (word carved by team chaospresss). Sadly the plastic which has become the second name to serve the human convenience after the never-ending human greed is a major contributor to the encroaching litter made by humans AND India also ranks amongst the one of the top waste-generating countries and littering is a major issue, especially in the form of single-use plastics, like soda bottles, drinking straws and potato chip bags throughout the country, and sadly not much is being done regarding the same. Research commissioned by media outlet Orb revealed alarming data about plastic pollution in tap water, with 83 percent of samples tested worldwide coming back as contaminated. In the U.S., 94 percent of tap water samples were found to contain plastic. Orb found, for example, 16 fibers in tap water taken at the visitor’s center in the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., along with fibers in samples taken from Trump Tower in New York. Plastic fibers were also found in water taken from Indonesia, India, Ecuador, Uganda, England, and Lebanon. The plastic/ synthetic is non-bio degradable and it also has the tendency to break down into multiple small complex pieces of micro-plastic and has found its way deep into the ocean far beyond the human reach and has also contaminated the food cycle of the marine life, its long been known that fishes are eating plastic debris, but a disturbing study revealed, this isn’t occurring by happenstance. Instead, fish may be actively seeking out plastic particles in the ocean to eat, mistaking them for food because of their odor. When microplastics exist in the ocean, they form a biological covering made of algae and other materials that smell like the food the fish would normally eat hence entering into their body and causing loss to marine life at an extent which is yet to be ascertained. The Orb report even reported that plastic particles less than 50 nanometers long have been shown to collect in plankton, potentially (food on which whales thrive) blocking their gastrointestinal tract, as well as accumulating in the many creatures that depend on plankton as a food source. It’s yet another route of plastics exposures to humans, because if the fish are eating plastic, so, too, are the creatures that end up eating the fish. If plastic fibers are in our water, experts say they’re surely in our food as well be its baby formula, pasta, soups, and sauces, whether from the kitchen or the grocery. Plastic fibers may leave your pizza crust, and a forthcoming study says it’s likely in the beer you’ll drink to chase the pepperoni down. It gets worse. Sadly Plastic is all but indestructible, meaning plastic waste doesn’t biodegrade; rather, it only breaks down into smaller pieces of itself, even down to particles in nanometer scale — one-one thousandth of a one-one thousandth of a millimeter. Studies show particles of that size can migrate through the intestinal wall and travel to the lymph nodes and other bodily organs. Human inventions are a product of a necessity being the mother of its creation but the human need for an immediate solution has made the invention into a daily way of convenient lifestyle by the corporate consumer based convenience, without firstly having ascertained how the end result would be if used so extensively. Every packaging of almost every food product has become plastic, every bottle of water, soda, daily cosmetics are plastic. We breathe plastic we live plastic, it has, in fact, found its way even till the human face in the name of plastic surgery. What are we doing, where are we heading because the end seems nowhere near and neither does any possible solution to the havoc we have created just for the immediate needs to be solved based on human convenience arising from human greed. Lastly remember folks everything human, I mean everything ends up in the ocean! The maddening chaos seems close!

North Korea - A non imperialist perspective.

The concept of chaos arises from the clear fact that the two opposite sides at ‘war’ are usually never wrong because both the conflicting sides are right in their own methodologies and ideologies. A certain fact that ‘we’ as a human race is taught to understand is that IF any ‘war’ ever since the dawn of humanity has taken place, has had ‘no’ winners but only losers’. THIS is an entirely wrong ‘notion’ AND the bonafide fact is that the actual winners of war are the ones who sow the seeds of it, the founders of it and the planners of it. A war is planned primarily because WAR is a very important foundation of a new start of either an ‘era’ or a ‘colony’ or even ‘peace’. This thesis of peace has been widely distorted by numerous ‘cabals’ that have existed throughout history and have always aimed to bring a war, to serve their means of either principle, reasoning, beliefs, dogma, religion or natural resources.

India and Africa throughout history are the examples of the land masses that were primarily conquered for their natural resources. The history of humanity is a reflection of change in ‘society/state’ and its governance throughout the world that occurs when an empire falls and is overtaken by another ‘empire’ or ‘system of governance’. This system of governance after having conquered a weaker state will not be restricted and will continue to display its assertion and dominance till wherever it is feasible to reach until challenged. If the challenger is not exterminated till then this entire system of governance will educate its subjugated masses as the challenger is purely, evil and a threat as it differs on numerous grounds of either religion, race or beliefs, as it is ‘human nature’ to blame another who ‘has or holds’ a different purview, as evident with examples of entire history of ‘crusades’ that were fought on differing religious grounds and likewise the cold-war between the ‘West’ and ‘USSR’ which was similarly based on differing ideologies and system of governance.

Further, the concept of chaos continues even today as we speak and live by our daily lives we are a part of a capitalist system that stands on the foundations of the ‘Second World War’ which ended in 1945 and had killed approximately 80 million people. Capitalism is a system of governance given to the world by the imperialists. The imperialists control the international flow of wealth and resources and have constituted international bodies as ‘UN’ ‘World Bank’ ‘IMF’ to push forward their capitalist agendas. Many countries of Africa are still not free as they are under the control of Westerns powers for their various natural resources. Countries such as Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, and Korea were not a part of their western imperialist system and following that we all know what was the fate of Iraq, Afghanistan and recently Libya as well. In simple words, the dominant civilisation destroyed the weaker civilisation. Likewise the ‘Korean war’ took place which ended in 1953 and half of Korea surrendered itself to the power of the West and thus becoming ‘South Korea’ which is a full functioning capitalist society that abides by the set capitalist rules and complies with all the capitalist requirements. The other half of Korea became ‘North Korea’ which did not give into the (Western) way of governance and for which till present day today it is portrayed as a regime which is murderous, insane, starving, substandard and an underdeveloped hermit state, whose leaders are as though they are some evil villain of a Hollywood flick (which is again a western narrative born in their own media industry).

It is a poor underdeveloped nation that owes its woes to the never-ending restrictive western trade sanctions brought via the UN and other capitalist collaborated communities because it simply does not wish to comply with the western capitalist system. It chooses its own governance which is different from the ones of the Capitalist outlook and for which ‘Pyongyang’ is heavily demonised, criticised and threatened. And also for which in its defence it has absolute every right to build its own weapons of resistance and deterrence to prepare itself, for if ever any need arises to resist the powerful marching dominant capitalist empire of the west. There is no harm in being prepared but the mere preparation is displayed by the Western-controlled capitalist media as if the hermit state is the threat to the world. The actual fact that the ‘West’ fears is that ‘Pyongyang’s ability of resistance might set an example for other ‘countries’ who would also wish in near future to free themselves from the Western capitalist mode of governance. And such countries would have the option of choosing their own modus of governance and similarly, this trend might spiral out of control leading to breaking free of many countries from the forced western shackles of capitalism.

Many investigative journalist’s from the world across have authored many different reports about ‘DPRK’ such report were absolutely contrary to the ones reported by the mainstream media such as BBC, CNN or various other western media channels. In fact if paid close attention then the same narrative appears as that of an empire that is not happy to see a part of the area which is not under its control hence the constant demonizing.

“In war, truth is the first casualty.”

― Aeschylus

DPRK has a entire history of relations with its neighbouring countries China and Russia and both the countries speak more or less the same western narrative when it comes to ‘North Korea’ but both the great nations have also displayed on numerous instances that they may not be entirely happy with the western uni-polar outlook especially after the world having seen how Libya and Iraq ended and have therefore openly displayed their multi-polar approach towards a stance that only further helps thrive the DPRK’s intentions to further stand as an ‘eyesore’ for the western capitalist empire.

This empire needs to now either accept the fact that the non abiding DPRK isn’t going anywhere, OR the empire needs to soon win over the small hermit state, more so because if DPRK keeps standing the more it generates multi-polarity amongst the world and likewise many other countries would like to also follow the same path as that of ‘Pyongyang’.

Andre Vltcheka- is a world-renowned investigative journalist who has authored many books and has also exposed many a times how the western narrative may not always be right. As you may read more from the following link about various un-reported facts about ‘Pyongyang’.

Click, Share,Beep - Here’s your share of Digital Dopamine.

I remember this one conversation with KolAsher where we discussed how the Social Media has spoiled an entire generation. When we have nothing else to talk about, it’s either this or the climate change (Gah!), or his endless talks about the geo-political scenes! Yet we both continue using a string of apps that ‘let us connect with the world.’ If you wiki search the term ‘social media’ it will tell you and I quote “computer-mediated technologies that facilitate the creation and sharing of information, ideas, career interests and other forms of expression via virtual communities and networks.” Sounds fancy, eh? Well, it is! Never before in history was it is easy to stay in touch with family & friends.

Everyone is a schmuck these days. Social media, which I believe, started as a form of ‘connecting’ has evolved into one nasty world. This world has today turned into a full-fledged advertising medium, a place to target hate, and a place where one can pretend to be just about anyone they want to enhance one's reputation, and most importantly a place where humans and their brain, cognition, and well-being is desensitized. When it comes to being a ‘social media personality’, you are either loved, seen as an inspiration, or termed flat out stupid or foolish, or an obnoxious, contemptible or detestable person. I think there is no in between.

Having survived (?) 10 years on social media without going bonkers (!!), I feel I have gained some expertise and deem myself fit to write about this mad chaotic world. This medium is perfect to satisfy one's social drives. Here you broadcast information, observe others, receive feedbacks, and the worst of it all, compare! Google’s Orkut and MySpace were quite a big deal back in 2004-2007 till Facebook came into picture. Facebook’s clear cut and decent UI, and curated third-party apps helped it gain initial momentum with the users. From time to time, Facebook kept updating itself and engaging more users, so much so that it almost became a ‘norm’ to have Facebook. Then Twitter followed. One of the most fun apps even today, I (personally) believe Twitter is unmatchable. Its to-the-point, no hierarchies, no prejudices, and “open to everyone” conversations is what makes this app so much fun! Apart from this, Snapchat came in to up your sexting game (it actually pushed me to click a perfect butt selfie), Tinder came to actually help you score (a date), Tumblr came in with its aesthetically pleasing (whoa!) high-def images, Pinterest came is where the girls could plan their weddings, WhatsApp replaced the good ol’ SMSes, and of course, r/Reddit was a place to discuss ‘anything at all.’

When I look back, I realize that every ‘like’ that I have got created a kind of a pleasurable stimulus that got me even more addicted. The social media is designed to be addictive. It designed to mess up with your brain’s algorithm and keeps you hooked. It’s scary how much time we spend online these days. What’s even scarier is that we choose to spend time of social media than engage in real-life face-to-face interactions. Walk into a room full of people and you will find more than half of them blankly staring at their screens. The lack of personal interactions has had a detrimental effect on people’s confidence and has hence given rise to social anxiety. Today, people have become more paranoid/nervous about attending social events. They forget to draw a line between what is real and what is not. Obviously, not everything you see on the social media is real. Seeing other people (pretending to be) happier makes one feel ‘life is not fair for them.’ Passively scrolling through the timelines, seeing pictures of your ‘friends’ getting married, traveling the globe, eating at the finest restaurants, wearing the best of the brands, owning the latest gadgets, and will definitely affect your self-esteem, and not in a very good way. Again, here we forget that these are just the ‘air-brushed’ versions of people’s lives.

The more you are online, the worse it gets. Put 2 and 2 together, and you will realize that the more social media apps one has, the more he/she is at the risk of depression. The fabricated appearance/attractiveness of others may result in the manifestation of the insecurity and the quest for recognition among the peer will drag you deep into a chaotic world.

Now has the social media become so important that we are ready to sacrifice out mental, physiological and physical health for it? Think about it. Time is the most valuable asset. Seriously, stop wasting it being stuck to your phone screens.

Take a moment and breathe. Stretch your legs. Have a glass of water. Realize that there is much more life out there, than in here.

In an attempt to break the Internet, do not let it break you!

:P Now seriously get off your screens!
