Oversaturation

 Oversaturated.

I choose these two pictures to illustrate the feeling of 'too much'.

After buying a smartphone, the whole world of media bombarded me with images and sounds of other things in other places at different times.

Buying the world and eating it was a dream I always had.

After studying some psychology, I realise the negative impact 'too much shit' can have on a mind.

A brain cannot proces too much info that has little bearing on your own life.

Now we have AI and the world is at our feet. Ready to be consumed.

We can only handle about seven bits of relevant info in our brains. We forget most of it. To remember more we have to be exposed to the same info more often.

Internet consists of millions of bits of info that keeps on morphing and changing. So you remember nothing and the world exists like a soup with no nutrition.

If I want to read a story, I ask AI to write one for me. Writers and artists are becoming redundant. We are facing a loss of meaning.

If we unplug, the world as we know it will collapse and we wil end up with nothing to understand or talk about.

I think we have entered a world where we are already cyborgs to an extent, like that Star Trek movie about the Borgs. 

We are going to look into an abyss and we might fall into it.
