Media Culture Lab: Head Editing

Head (Brain?) Editing? Maize of Political Gambling?

How to edit your head?

Brainwash? Or what?

And why to edit it?

Is there some problem with it? 

Are you a head editor?

Editing is the playing with ideas and words. Editing head means? Playing with conciousness, subconciousness, memories, short term or long term? Memories deletion, addition, manipulation, synthesizing totally new and enforcing the desired or required ones as per needs of the creators. Synthesizing totally new is an interesting topic and comparatively new, like some extended version of your ancestors past, not yours. 

And not necessarily based on facts. It might be based on hearsay or enemies creation beyond reality, at times, maybe opposite to reality. You might not know even abc about that, when it had been created, even when those ancestors were nomore in the world. But maybe, after a decade or few dacades or even later. What the hell is this? How to deal with such creations? And what such creators gain from such creations? This is the maize of political gambling, where they play with something only they know about, in their desired story or fiction or designed creation. But that maize can play with you, your surrounding in real and can have good or bad impact based on the type of creation. It can be totally online (virtual) or offline (real life) or like some mixed reality, extended reality, or augmented. 

In this gambling, intearctions are designed, like biologists design media ingredients for different types of experiments, based on the experiment requirement.

For political parties, big corporations and governments around the world, it becomes easy in the age of data mining at so many levels. It becomes even more easier as most common people don't even know that their day by day data is used and abused against them, without their knowledge, forget consent.  

Now what type of editor are you? Good memory creator or enforcer of bad ones? That makes the whole difference to the subject matter or concerned life. Political parties, media houses and large corporations are doing that at population level by changing the media, like changing some media, culture, ingredients or you can read it together as media culture ingredients or simply, media culture lab at population level. These population level labs also work at individual level, like some precision medicine. Though there are so many examples in the surrounding I came across in last few years especially, but some are so recent and so Amazing (?) that one can only wonder, what kind of world we are living?

Apply this media culture lab creation for good and results could be amazing. Apply for bad, and it can be some worldwide event like corona or some single incident type bad happening like some plane crash. Single incident happenings still seems manageable. But something like worldwide event management and that also for such a long time period like corona? That's the worst could happen by abusing knowledge by big powers, technology and market forces. 

There can be as many examples as living beings? No, much more than that. But for some one person still it's limited. From where to start?

The place you call home? Some specific infrastructure or some special address? Each and every infrastructure is specific and each and every address is special. No matter where you are living. It can be a posh, guarded society under cameras 24 hours, where no one can enter or go out without gaurds knowledge. These gaurds can be sophisticated, hidden or old style type like human gaurds. Where all livable requirements are under scrutiny, then be it water, food, electricity, residences, offices or walking place, traffic, gardens or playgrounds. This place can be some slum area or some village in not so developed world, like ours? They have their own virtues and sins, defined by the system, like some ecological system, where each and every type of intearction creates some effect. For good or for bad. In a world, where even interactions are designed by the creators of system, who is responsible for still underdeveloped or not so developed world and their problems? Simple, these creators. Who are these creators? Would you like to know them? You must, if you want a better world, a better surrounding, a better home or workplace. Why you are not that creator? You can be, if you want.

Question is how? Maybe some examples can explain better?
