It struck me,
listening to music on my ipod,
how easily duped I am as a human being.
The sounds coming from my ipod,
being a replication which, to my ears,
seems to sound like the artist singing,
but its not.
Its a system of binary 1s and 0s digitally deciding what I hear.
Creating a replication of reality.
1s and 0s,
like DNA.
A whole digital film is composed of 1s and 0s...
a visual reality.
The artificiality of candied products..
the so-called strawberry flavoured sweet,
reconstituted sugar..and other flavourings..
I am duped once again..
Its just like reality is within your grasp...
but your grasp cannot discern its true nature.
We are blinded...
and once we become accustomed to it...
we become its slaves,
defining it as the standard....
sheltered within our neat tidy little civilisations...
without care for much else...
till we die...
