The Age of Observers
Everyone’s tuned in. Nobody’s speaking. That’s the glitch.
We’re living in the Age of Observers — a world where 99% of people sit in passive mode, staring at endless feeds, waiting for someone else to generate meaning. They don’t create, they don’t respond, they don’t even risk opinion. They just scroll, scroll, scroll.
And the ones who do “engage”? Don’t mistake it for conversation. It’s performance. It’s ego, reach, monetisation — fake connection sold as a product. Every “community” is a showroom, every “conversation” a sales funnel. Influencers and hustlers choking the bandwidth until real talk suffocates.
This is the worst-case timeline. Not neon wars, not chrome tyrants — but a population lobotomised into spectators, and a handful of parasites feeding on their need for distraction. Culture collapsed into apathy + narcissism, and the rest of us are left screaming into static.
So here’s the directive: stop observing. Stop performing. Start transmitting. Even if it’s messy, even if no one replies. Authentic signals cut through the sludge, and every raw broadcast weakens the empire of silence.
We set up camp in this ruin.
