The intentional manipulation of human consciousness by various forms of technology. Whether the goal is to turn someone into a product purchaser, a dogmatic activist, or a political operative, a variety of suggestive PSYOPS are employed to engage and direct someone's thoughts and actions. Without even recognizing how it happened, they wake up one morning ready to buy something they don't need, or ready to take action on behalf of a cause or a political party. No longer in control of their own choice-making, they are now at the mercy of the individual and/or organization that is funnelling their consciousness.
My friend eventually realized that someone with access to his devices was funnelling his consciousness for nefarious purposes.

Men who call everyone "Buddy" seldom develop close friendships, especially with other men. "Buddy" is actually a smokescreen for their anti-social nature. If they keep calling you "buddy," they aren't your buddy.
I thought he might become my friend, but he was just another guy with a buddy paradox.

The use of various cyber related techniques to trigger, threaten, silence, intimidate, and destroy others. Where before terrorism was largely confined to direct physical acts, it has now expanded to include techno-terror and abuses of online power as attack methodologies. Techniques include but are not limited to: denial-of-service website/device attacks; hacking/manipulation of phones, computers, and wi-fi; use of spam bots to flood email accounts; penetration/activation of house alarms; fake texts, emails and social media comments with provoking content; malevolently intended social media shadow-bans, advertising blocks, account warnings, post/comment removals; a myriad of online PSYOPS designed to bewilder and terrorize targets. Although initiated from behind the scenes, acts of techno-terrorism are no less dangerous and no less criminal than traditional terrorism. This now common form of modern warfare puts all of us at great risk.
Techno-terrorism is the most common attack method in the modern world.
Someone who bullies others from behind the scenes, often using minions and flying monkeys to do their dirty work. Well-practised in their hateful ways, the invisibully is extremely adept at protecting themselves and having others take the fall. Often bullied as children, they live out their justified anger unjustly, targeting those who are powerless and vulnerable. Cowards at heart, they have chosen to perpetuate the cycle of abuse rather than to heal it. In a technology-driven world, the invisibully is a great danger to us all.
My friend was targeted by an invisibully.
A term coined by author Jeff Brown, "Censor Culture" is the now common tendency to censor and condemn those who communicate things that we donât agree with. Not simply the censorship of their ideas on controversial topics, but the censorship of everything that they express.
Censor Culture is at it again, telling me not to share someone's innocuous perspectives because they don't agree with some of their more controversial opinions.

In the words of author Jeff Brown, âre-bravingâ is the process of regaining our inherent courage after being un-braved by life. In a political, economic, spiritual, and religious system that benefits from unbraving us, it is essential that we take steps to re-brave ourselves. Our individual and collective actualization depend upon it.
I finally did the work to re-brave myself so I could speak truth to power.
