Yesterday, I wrote a Satirical Article for Finding Success as a part of April Fools Day.
However, even if the article is not based on reality...
There is something that is very real that we can draw from a part of it.
As they say...
All Comedy has Basis in Reality.
So, what can we look into further?
The Willingness of People to Take Advantage of Our Desires.
Part of the Article Played Into some people's Desire for Success and Immortality.
More Often than Not, Subconsciously, this is Fueled by Fear.
Fear of Failure.
Fear of the Unknown in Death.
We know that people will go to Extreme Lengths to Sprint Away from these Fears.
Some Leaders in AI have discussed how part of their Motivation is to Create Immortal Versions of Themselves.
You look at the Supplement Industry that has Attempted to Create Cocktails of (Mostly Useless and Synthetic) Supplements to Keep Us Youthful.
In Scientific Communities, they are trying to Clone Organs so we can Replace our own when things go Wrong, for Any Reason.
If you watch their Marketing, all of these Industries Play the Same Type of Message, but from Different Angles.
There is a Problem/Fear You Have, and We Will Provide The Solution.
But what are the Results You Should Expect?
When we Go Into the Reality Instead of the "Dream" That is Advertised.
If we Design an AI Duplicate of Ourselves...
Are we Avoiding Death?
No.
We would simply be creating an "Alternate" Version of Ourselves which Ultimately would Live a Different and Distinct Life from Us.
In the End, You'd Still Die.
The AI would keep living as long as the Program is Kept Alive...
But who is to Say that it "Would" be Kept Alive?
Streaming Companies have Claimed We Would Keep Access to Our Favorite Shows and Movies...
Yet, some Disappear When No One is Paying Enough Attention.
Likely Lost Forever.
It would almost be Guaranteed the same would happen with an AI Duplicate.
So I Guess You Die Twice.
With Supplements, Organ Replacement, and Sleep Tourism...
What Happens?
You are Sold on Something that You "Need"...
Yet What Happens?
You Need More Supplements when what you have Run Out.
New Organs would be Needed when Older Ones Crash...
Assuming this Doesn't Cause "Other" Problems we are Yet Unaware Of.
You Get Sleep while you are on an "Escape"...
But when You Get Home, You begin to Lose Sleep Again, which would then require you to Go Back to the "Escape" Spot.
What is the Same Within All of These?
You Pay for Something...
In Many of these Cases You Pay an "Extreme" Amount of Money...
Yet Nothing Is Solved.
They are All a Trap.
An Addiction Tactic.
Instead of Freedom, you are Given a Chain.
A Chain which, if You Stop Paying For, May be Stripped From You and Exchanged for an Even Heavier Chain Placed Upon You Instead.
Subjugation.
You Must Continue to Pay and Pay Exorbitant Fees Yet Remain with the Same Problems.
Fear.
The Majority of the Health and Wellness Industry, Sadly, is Not about Health or Wellness.
They are about Productizing Your Fears about being Unhealthy and Dying...
While Simultaneously Failing to Solve the Root Problems...
And in some cases being the "Cause" of Your Unhealthiness.
They say that the Most Profitable "Client" in the Health and Wellness Industry is a Human that is Alive, But Remains Perpetually Sick.
Isn't that Horrifying?
People want to Sell You "Solutions" that Keep You Sick and Dying.
"Solutions" they Know will Never Stop the Fears that Drive You to these Solutions.
"Solutions" that are Designed to Subjugate You as a Cash Cow and to "Milk" You of All Money Until You Run Dry.
The people Behind these Solutions View You as No Different than the Cattle in a Cattle Factory.
If you have Never Seen the Conditions of Cattle in these Factories, it is Truly Appalling.
The Life You Have Does Not Matter to Them.
How Sick You Are Only Matters if You Die.
You Cannot Produce Money if You're Dead.
But if You're Excessively Sick, yet Alive?
You're a Good Enough Cash Cow to Continue to Make Profit.
As the Slogan for these Companies Goes...
Profit Above Everything...
Including Your Life.
Within the Majority of Today's Health and Wellness Industry, these are the Results You Should Expect....
Addiction - Physical and/or Emotional.
Subjugation - Both in Health and Finances.
Psychological Abuse...
Telling You "They" Are What's Best For You.
That "You" Are The Problem.
That You Will Be Faced With A Significantly "Worse" Fate If You Refuse To Follow Them.
Not To "Trust" Anyone Else.
All while Being the Source of Your Suffering and Purposefully Using Your Psychology and Emotions Against You.
Perhaps what is Scarier is that there are a Significant Portion of Individuals "In" the Health and Wellness Industry who are Unknowing Pawns.
They Fully "Believe" that What They Have Been Taught "Will" Work.
They Do These "As" They Have Been Taught.
It is Not Unlike a Cult or a Pyramid Scheme.
By Being in the Industry, they are Fed a Lie that "They" Will Succeed, and the People They "Serve" Will Be Healthy.
Yet, at the End of the Day...
Only the People at the Top Actually Profit.
All at the Expense of Everyone Below Them.
The Doctors and Health and Wellness Practitioners are All Straddled with Extreme Debts of their Own.
Knowledge and a Way of Thinking that Blinds them from Other Possibilities.
A True Desire to "Do" Good and Help Humans, Yet Trapped in an Establishment That Actively "Prevents" It.
Which Brings Us to the Question...
How Do We Escape?
The First is to Read the Research.
Not just the Summary, Intro, and Conclusion.
The Entire Article.
How Researchers "Get" their Data can be Incredibly Revealing about the "Solutions" being Proposed.
Then, if a "Solution" is Expected to Last "Forever"...
That Solution is Probably Not the "Real" Problem, but rather a "Consequence" of the Real Problem.
So, Go Looking for the "True" Problem.
Also, something to Consider is that there is Not "One" Problem.
Anyone who says that "Their" Solution will Solve "Everything" is Likely Lying.
It May Help...
But as I Dive Deeper Into today's Challenges, I continue to Find that Most of Our Problems have Multiple Causes.
Some Problems Cause Further Problems.
Other Problems Contribute Further to Existing Problems.
However, Do Not Assume that "One Magical Solution" will Solve Everything.
As Humans, we are Extremely Complex.
In Today's World, We have Many Challenges that can Impact our Extreme Complexities in Many and Unique Ways.
But if we are Diligent, and Seek the Truth, and Hold People Accountable...
Solutions to the Health and Wellness Problems of Today Do Exist.
We Can Find Them.
