The human brain is an amazing thing, but it is built, not born. Neuroplasticity means we create neural pathways based on what we do and how we think. We now have a generation of young people who have never been long absent from their electronic communications. Their brains are wired to be part of a collective now.

And by acquiescing to this the older generation has created a group that is extraordinarily vulnerable to control; they are lost without the gadgets to make them part of the Borg Collective. They believe what they see online and ONLY that.

In short, we are making slaves, slaves who prefer their bondage to the vicissitudes of freedom.

Like the Israelites who feared leaving Egypt, they fear leaving the electronic plantation. It feels horribly unnatural to them. They cannot function precisely because they have not made the neural pathways for social intercourse and to actually live as real people. Their brains can grow these but it will be a difficult, painful effort.

I fear for them should something take out the internet; they would be like people suddenly blinded. But it may well be the most important thing we can do to stop the drive to the cliff-edge of our civilization.

The computer is a seeming good but in fact a terrible trap, I fear, for young minds. Everyone is worried about AI taking over, but I think it has already taken over the young. This is a form of mind control.

As the novel 1984 observed, in the end "he loved Big Brother". That is what computer technology is doing; making us love our jailers.

Human beings are made to think, reason, plan. Computers take much of that away and give it to machines - and to those who program the machines and run the information nexus.

Human beings are not supposed to exist in an alternate reality. But that is where we are at now. It is no coincidence we are seeing the rise of truly insane ideas like transgenderism now; our young live in a dream world of zeroes and ones and colorful screens with flashing lights and dancing images. They do not read, except where it is required along with their photos and videos and music. They do not learn to discipline their minds. They do not learn anything outside of what is online. They do not come to understand the complexities of life (which was learned through the arts and humanities in the past.) They live rather in an artificial reality and so they believe artificial things.

They believe in transgenderism, in socialism, in all sorts of easily disproven concepts. Why not? Reality doesn't really exist in their worlds.

This had been coming for a long time, well before computers, but it has metastasized with the machines.

The Book of Revelation says the False Prophet will create an "image" of the Beast and all will worship him. What does that mean? Is the image of the Beast what the young see on their computers? Certainly the term Beast could be applied to the leviathan nature of the internet, to the multiple tendrils that curl around all aspects of our society. It is much like the hydra, which just grew new heads when they were cut off in battle.

The internet is a beast even if it is not THE Beast.

So young people have plugged their brains into this new electronic god. And committed their souls to the void of zeroes and ones pulsing about the planet.

The God of our fathers has been replaced by a cheap usurper. And this god isn't full of forgiveness as is Yahweh. On the contrary if a young person bucks the system he or she will be destroyed by those who they once thought of as friends. There are ample stories about young people cast out by the woke mob online. And there are stories about young people committing suicide over cyber bullying and the like. If nothing else there is little in the way of hope offered to anyone via the internet. It is full of judgment and demands.

But of course you can't just pull kids off-line; the schools require they work on the computer. We've made it mandatory for our society. Take a kid permanently off-line and you are condemning him or her to failure and irrelevancy, and probably taking away what passes for friends. No parent wants to do that.

But the price is the kids' souls. And our country's survival.

The computer is a very useful tool in the hands of a mature and, well, just plain wise person. It is a danger to those who are not. Much like fire, or a knife, it is a menace in the hands of children. And yet they are better at using it than are the older folks who actually have the capacity to use it properly. It is, in fact, that very capacity - the unwillingness to become one with the machine - that makes the older generation less capable at using the machine. The young merge with it. Well, there is a terrible price to be paid for that. Loneliness, social isolation, intellectual stultification, an inability to experience pleasure without the machine, short attention spans, etc. are all the "gifts" of the electronic Beast.

The same was true of television when it became ubiquitous. Parents used it as a babysitter. But it is not as interactive, as powerful at getting at the core of the person. You had to take what programming was offered with t.v. You were passive, absorbing things like sponges, but that limited it's power to a degree; much of the brainwashing failed due to boredom with the content. Now we have the power of the media to manipulate thoughts and emotions and beliefs with the ability to entertain at all times. The youths are eternally engaged. But they are engaged with the Devil.

Dance with the Devil and you'll do it in Hell.

I think the computer culture must die if we are to have any hope of saving or restoring our culture. It is the stealer of souls.
