BHMC ON FACEBOOK, TWITTER. LIKE US, FOLLOW US.

Black Hole Media Co., after much consideration, has decided to maintain a presence on both Twitter and Facebook. The BHMC account on Twitter (@blackholemedia) has been in operation for some time and will be fed to our Facebook page, and the FB page will be utilized eventually for various links and announcements. Although we do not currently find Twitter or Facebook particularly useful at this time for a largely underground organization such as ours, due to the recent online proliferation of similar sounding organizations using the term "Black Hole Media", of which we have no affiliation whatsoever, we are somewhat forced to maintain a presence on these admittedly prominent social networking sites.

We also would like to announce our sparkling new uptowny Zazzle online store, selling not only fine quality BHMC shirts and caps but reprints of the paintings of Michael Psycho. The CafePress store is still open for business as always.

THE DUAL CIRCLE THEORY OF MODERN TECHNOLOGY - A BLACK HOLE MEDIA CO. RESEARCH PROJECT

2009-10-18T10:55:00.000-07:00

There is a small circle of those who are innovative, creative people who are controlling the technology, the ideas, the manufacture of goods.

There is a much larger circle outside of that which consists of those who are consumers, passive and doing work which entails simply labor for the benefit of the inner circle, earning money only to turn it back toward the purchase of goods and services strictly of a one way, consumptive nature.

With the passing of time, the inner circle has become increasingly intelligent and technologically advanced, and has increased in control of the intellectual property, as well as the created work. It has also shrunk in size.

The outer circle has increased gradually with population growth, has become more passive and uncreative, and has actually become less intelligent as a whole, due largely to a dramatic decrease in active critical thinking. Technological developments in recent times have contributed to this decline in intelligence, as it is aimed at passive consumption for profit.

To sum, as technology becomes more advanced, the inner circle of producers becomes smaller, more in control of the actual technology, and smarter, and the outer circle becomes larger, more passive and consumptive, and dumber.

Whether this is intentional or coincidental is a query worth exploring.

Whether this is potentially harmful to the world’s population and, in general, its future is a question worth asking.

Note:
This is an ongoing Black Hole Media Co. project. More information will be found in the future at our website: www.blackholemediaco.com. Please subscribe to this blog for more details, which will be announced in time to come.
