The watching product


Illiterate, docile and passive.

Convinced that this state, the middle state of western society, is where the better lies.

Trained to consume, to be a part of something product to sell to advertisers.

Sucked in to have their attention monetized yet again. Swirling, gormless, into a plug sinkhole. Stolen, taken.

There haven't been a middle ground to this, no nuance. Only an absolutist two-way street where advertisers law follow.

Not aware of this manipulation, this is where literacy critics in these matters have a point. One way or the other.

Some consider illiterate as a medal of honour.

Rather to be over-educated than infantilized one bit on tumbling desire.

Literate, acting, and active.
