Welcome the One-Eyed God

And it ain't Cyclops.

Every day. At work. At play. You stare at the face of the One-Eyed God.

It tells you where to go and when. It tells you what to do and how.

It tells you what to eat, what to drink, what to like, what to hate.

It never tells you Why. If it does, it’s a lie.

It tells you what to feel, not think.

The One-Eyed God is everything Big. Big Government. Big Tech. Big Pharma. Big Science. Big Med. Big Labor. Big Hollywood. Big Business. The One-Eyed God is Omnipotent.

The One-Eyed God knows you and your every move. It knows your income, bank balance, how you spend your money, your time and on what. It knows your virtues and your vices. It Sees All, Knows All, and Tells Nothing of real value. Not to you anyhow.

Beyond Wallpaper, Ring Tones, and Apps, the One-Eyed God is beyond your control; you’re under it.

You made it this way. You chose freely, lured by the Siren Songs of Convenience and Instant Gratification with a Narcissism chorus to sweeten the deal.

And now, here you are in a world of perpetual illusion and manipulation by the One-Eyed God. Of course, you still have Free Choice. “You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.”

And yet…

There still exists in many that spark known as the Individual.

Only the Individual is capable of Critical Thought over Irrational Feelings, Objective Analysis over Blind Acceptance. Only the Individual can choose to exercise his power of Yes or No.

Only the Individual can successfully resist the collective sortings of the One-Eyed God.

The power of the Individual to think independently, reason thoroughly, and act effectively is the only salvation from the rapacious, ubiquitous, dehumanizing domination of the One-Eyed God.

Only the Individual knows resistance is not futile; it’s the Last Exit before Slavery.

Resist.
