You know who also nailed it, far before anyone else? Rudolf Steiner
He similarly, intuitively understood and communicated knowledge of an alien lifeform, a malignant spiritual consciousness that would one day come to consume humanity, uprooting us from our anchoring in the spiritual and pulling us into an artificial reality in which everything was a degraded, inferior copy of itself. He called this malevolent consciousness Ahriman, and the Internet is a near perfect embodiment of the reality Steiner so prophetically described.
For those interested, look into it. It will enrich your understanding of reality 👍
Try disconnecting more and more from internet, your phone&computer&media apps, gradually, gently.. be very careful because it can kill you... and feel what happens to you each time you pull away a bit more... Me, I am shocked by the empty shell I've become.. busy feeding on others'thoughts, addicted to some topics like to fast food.. But also amazed with how immediately Life, Love, Contemplation and the longing for Wisdom flow back in... Discernment, connection, introspection, verbalisation of diffuse feelings, integration takes ages but is -to me- the only thing which brings spiritual evolution .. Internet coupled to AI is a beast which sucks all of this out of us.
