Media Pervertry

By Leo Gura - November 19, 2024

What is not generally understood is how profoundly media shapes politics. Because, fundamentally, people do not think, they make sense of reality through group-think. They think what everyone around them thinks. What runs the show is not policy concerns, it’s group-think. The last 10-15 years we have seen a media revolution. This democratization and fracturing of media has lead to many new forms of fallacious, toxic, and self-deceived alternative group-think, which has huge implications for politics.

People are more misinformed and self-deceived than ever and yet they feel more convinced than ever that they have the truth, thanks to the epistemic bubbles and confirmation-biased echochambers that social media platforms and algorithms created. A few giant tech companies have monopolized all of media and sold their souls to maximize profits. The social media companies have whored out mankind’s epistemic standards, corrupting the minds of the entire human species. This is what Google, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok have done. The reason these companies are worth billions and trillions is because they whored out epistemology and truth to the Devil for profit. And nobody in society understands this because nobody understood or cared about epistemology to begin with. The hidden damage these companies did is incalculable.

These companies and all the popular misinformation they enable for profit have rotted the minds of mankind for generations to come. And all the podcasters and influencers who got rich and famous in this business fundamentally got rich because they spread bullshit for profit. Alex Jones, Andrew Tate, Jordan Peterson, Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan, Piers Morgan, Patrick Bet-David, Ben Shaprio, Tim Pool, Fox News, etc — this is all media pervertry for profit. They arbitrage misinformation and stupidity on behalf of the Devil. They do this without an ounce of self-awareness, guilt, or shame because none of them ever cared about truth.

We have people who never cared about truth in charge of all the media platforms, corporations, advertising, and all the eyeballs, shaping the opinions and worldviews of most of mankind. This is mankind’s deepest form of corruption: worldwide mass-distributed epistemic corruption. It is a corruption so subtle and so profound that no one comprehends it. None of the people involved have any idea what they do. But the net result is that we have a profoundly sick politics, and sick minds, peddling sick ideas and views. The Devil has masterfully co-opted every media platform to spread self-deception. That’s what every successful and popular podcaster does. Podcasts, YT channels, Instagrams, TikToks, and tweets — these seem like innocent fun, but they are really the tools of the Devil. That’s why these bits of fun are worth hundreds of millions of dollars. The entire media information ecosystem of mankind is perverted and corrupt to the bone. Social media is pervertry for profit.

The Devil’s genius and intelligence is awesome. The Devil has successful co-opted religion, media, education, academia, science, medicine, finance, and all the branches of government. And no one suspects a thing. That is what I mean by self-deception. Nobody comprehends how deep this goes. This is what I mean when I say mankind are epistemic pigs. All of this occurs for one simple reason: Nobody cares about truth.

Evil is just not caring about truth. That’s the real banality of evil.

Mankind is drowning in its own bullshit. This has been the case since mankind came into existence, and it’s still the case today, now on technological steroids, and always taking new alternative forms. The flavor of the bullshit changes every 5-10 years, but that it’s bullshit is a constant. What new bullshit will mankind invent tomorrow? Some fame-thirsty fool is hard at work on that today in his basement, desperately brainstorming some viral meme to inject into your mind for clicks.

Understanding this is what my work is really about. If you can’t understand this, you will never understand reality. This is way more fundamental than “self-help” or “nonduality”. These concepts themselves are just more group-think and mind-viruses.
