The Glass-Shattering Truth

Words as Weapons of Mass Disruption

Due to their incantatory nature, words contain a profound potential to transcend, transform, and transmute. Words possess an almost alchemical potency as they weave through the physical, mental, cyber, and real-world realms. They create ripples that oscillate, resonate, and amplify, affecting the conception of reality itself.

This linguistic sorcery taps into the essence of human experience, evoking change, feelings, and actions that are as tangible as they are intangible, as immediate as they are eternal.

Words conjure wars, rumours, love, and hate: they can build a person up or break them down; they convey truths or lies, stimulate debate, and contain enough potential to destroy a nation. They are the interface among the realms we humans inhabit.

My deliberate use of esoteric words such as 'incantatory' and 'conjure' is not accidental. These words underpin the concepts behind this piece's arguments and reasoning: they are carefully chosen to guide your understanding of my perspective.

Let me qualify that statement with the transgenic conspiracy theory of human-alien hybrids. This belief dates back considerably to the late 1800s or further and is a well-rooted concept within our zeitgeist: it exists in our proverbial human ether, awaiting a catalyst to manifest itself in the physical realm.

Bring on the COVID-19 pandemic, social isolation, and the increase in social network activity that isolation engendered (the catalyst)—and we have people like Matthew Taylor Coleman, who acted out (the conjured Golem) and murdered his two children because he was influenced by a QAnon conspiracy theory (the incantation) that postulated that transgenic serpent-like alien beings are replacing the human race.

So, we have the incantation, the catalyst, and the manifestation, or, in simpler terms, the reading of the incantation, the thinking about and forming an internal narrative regarding the incantation, and the conjured act of murder.

Now that I have mapped out my views on words, it is time to cut to the chase: we are at war! Words are the weapons in this war, and the battlefield is our information space: its targets, our social cohesion, our trust in society's institutions, our health information, etc.

Unlike conventional war, however, this war is more closely related to biological warfare as it poisons the battlefield in an attempt to sanitize the information space of truth to promote an ideological shift that aligns with the perpetrator's goals.

I was taught at NBCD school that biological and chemical warfare were efficient weapons as they left the infrastructure intact and did not need extensive reconstruction. Ideological poison works the same way. It changes a person's internal working model to oscillate at the same amplitude as the attacker: both the attacker and the target population are ideologically now on the same page. There is no resistance. When the enemy rolls in, the populace welcomes them with open arms and upraised palms: Heil!

Let me finish with a few examples: Think of social cohesion as a glass. Many have seen someone break a glass using sound waves at the proper amplitude. That is what the current information pollution attempts to do in our information space.

Now that our social glue is dissolved, it is time to shape it into what we want. To demonstrate how this is accomplished, let's look at waves. To change the direction of a wave, we start by making other waves at a very slightly different trajectory not to cause the waves to cancel each other out. We want a slight dissonance that we amplify over time. This more substantial wave will attract the other over time, altering its course.

This concept is why disinformation is so prevalent. People hear disinformation and share it as misinformation, slowly accepting it as gospel. Now, we have changed society's direction to one that complements our goals.

Interestingly, the abovementioned strategy is officially called the Firehose Method of disinformation. It tends to drown out competing narratives.

I could go on ad infinitum and reiterate what I already said, but for the sake of brevity, I will leave it here.

Beware and be aware: Cave et cave!
