The apocalypse is upon us and it is one devious creature because it is undetectable and does not require one's actual death with all the proverbial rotting, etc., seen in the movies for it is sneakier, silent in its infection and most deadly in its final stages.
We tend to automatically go to thought of zombie’s frankenstein walking around in a daze like manner waiting to encounter some living being so they can eat their flesh but in the actual “Real” zombie apocalypse we with great motivation and glee run into the very dangers we should fear resulting in our zombie frankenstein-like walking, i.e., we walk in a zombie state with our eyes and minds focused on a tiny screen while our ears are distracted from the sounds provided through “Buds” stuck in our ears with narry a concern or worry on our faces unless the battery to our device suddenly dies - oh my, I have to focus on finding a electrical outlet to charge up.
Modern Tech-Zombie Traits are, “Distractions; overloading on technology, i.e., information, social media, twitter, etc,; being rushed; being preoccupied being distracted, etc.” For instance, when we are rushed (like the quantity of information being perceived like facing a tsunami wave, etc), we no longer have any time at all to take into account all the factors at play necessary to make decisions so we end up using our five compliance triggers influenced by that same deluge of information to make decisions. This leads to our zombie like actions much like the media entertainment industries zombie’s.
We tend to block out all extraneous stimuli that hits our sensory systems, i.e., sights, sounds, tactile skin input and such, so that we no longer have sufficient time to analyze all points of communications, i.e., why we lean toward our emotionally driven responses, so that we end up responding to the rapid-fire messages inundating every facet of our lives and we embrace it because it relieves us of the burden of thinking for ourselves - zombie frankenstein …
It’s becoming a mindless programming of our brains that will result in a total and complete loss of our freedom to think, analyze, decide and synthesize life. We mindless follow the both beneficial and more predatory influences of those compliance professionals that imbed their messages into the very data flow that overwhelms or human sensory systems and brains.
I quote, “The sheer amount of information today is overwhelming - its complexity is befuddling, its relentlessness depleting, its range distracting, and its prospects agitations (and we feel it but have no idea why we feel it). Couple those culprits with the concentration-disrupting alerts of devices nearly everyone carries to deliver that input, and careful assessment’s role is a ready decision-making corrective becomes sorely and dangerously diminished.”
Here is another quote example related to current events, i.e., “We are unable to respond mindfully to news clips of a politician’s speech, instead, we are left to a focus on those implanted secondary features of the presentations, such as the attractiveness of the speech giver or his or her charisma.”
All this simply overwhelms us to the point we automatically trigger social conditioned tapes that take over the responsibilities of making informed analytical steps to discover and synthesize our own individual thoughts so that we made decisions for ourselves, by ourselves and with our in-depth analysis but instead we allow, for convenience and comfort and gratifications, those compliance professionals to create external influences that trigger tapes so we just act accordingly, like the zombie frankenstein-walking mindless shuffling along that can be seen when we plug in the ear buds, focus our attention of the virus-line instructions that pump us full of stuff so we cannot mindfully act as humans should. We give up our freedoms to think and decide for ourselves and become Zombie’s. It is truly the tech-driven virus like zombie apocalypse!
Let me end this article with this last quote, “If we don’t have the wherewithal (time, capacity (zombie infection), will (zombie infection)) to think hard about a choice, we are unlikely to deliberate deeply. When any of these requirements isn’t met, we typically resort to instinctual social conditioned triggers of decision-making shortcuts.”
It should be noted that in many situations of our lives these shortcuts allow us to choose rapidly and effectively, But in many other situations (created and consuming our lives through compliance predatory actions in the data we are inundated with), they can send us to places we didn’t want to go - at least not if we had thought about it first.
Note: Emotional triggers such as person of likable nature, enthusiastic groups, reciprocal influences of social conditions, the authority principles, and the human need for consistency, etc. All beneficial in the proper use but also predatory in nature by use of compliance professionals of questionable character.
