The Plague of the iPhone

 Steve Jobs left this earth with a VITAE file littered with success and failure.  The concept of the Apple computer and its descendents, the Macintosh, the iMac, the iPod, and the ephemeral iPhone changed the world.  The verdict still is out on the latter, but most would agree the attributes of the Apple computer stimulated human creativity and and aided production.  To house a recording studio in a laptop computer was revolutionary.  To be able to burn and "rip" compact discs changed the music industry but not as much Napster's file sharing network.  The industry's push to digitize content partly was a response to these trends, but digitization has pitfalls.  Zeros and ones are rife for hacking, especially in film.  Digital content can be manipulated, and now we have A.I. about which to contend.  The loss of physically collecting and consuming music has undermined its enjoyment.  Digital music is convenient, but it does not offer the emotional, tactile, and spiritual rewards of soulful analog music.  The eager consumption of digital content has undermined human choice and thought, and its addictive nature has stunted and divided society.  It is a drug, and we are addicted.  A pattern is emerging that is coincident with history.  Men who achieve seminal accomplishments succumb to the ills of success and celebrity.  They become corrupt abandoning their own conscience and indulging in the spoils of power and manipulation.  That there is a higher power becomes obscured, and instead of catering to man for the reward, they exploit.  No one resists.  Traditionally in America government holds the position of oversight regulating capitalist industrialism.  The GOP's quest for smaller government has been a push to minimize corporate regulation leading to misuse and malfeasance of our economic system.  Recent history is littered with success and failure, and most failures are a direct result of lack of regulatory policy.  Washington has been in tow, and Big Tech and Wall Street have begun to regulate themselves into economic and cultural dominance.  Their drug has undermined human behavior.  We must question governance, policy, corporate habit, and autocratic tendencies leading to Fascism.  We are in a ditch slogging for low wages with little self-governance and struggling to survive.  This is not the American Way, and few would argue that Fascism is here.  The iPhone is a useful tool, but it is vulnerable.  Wireless technology has had its run, but excessive aberrant and unregulated electromagnetic energy is  killing human beings and the Earth.  It is too invisible, too abstract, and too unstudied to continue its unmitigated use.  The ill effects of EMF energy are well documented in academia.  Cancel Culture was a premeditated campaign to disguise knowledge and its sources.  This knowledge is stored in the annals of academia.  The internet began as a wired network of data bases utilized to develop America's nuclear program for defense purposes.  These data bases were at universities once lauded and respected in America.  The commercialization of the internet was inevitable, but its exploitation for the Trump insurrection was evil.  The iPhone is like crack or meth, and its resulting behavior is to spurn all else except your next hit.  Those reliant upon smart phones are drug addicts, but the substitution of human interaction for a drug high is challenging.   Our social behaviors abandoned for this quick fix must be reestablished and honed and ultimately will result in romance.  Human interaction is based upon biological attraction, homo or heterosexual.  To abandon the challenge and surprise of the prize of such efforts is a disservice to man.  The sense of calm and security created by sexual fulfillment is the enemy of the Fascist state.
