The Digital World: A Complex System That generate money from Our Attention and Behaviour!

The digital world is a complex system that controls our attention and behaviour in order to generate income. Companies collect our attention through branding, marketing, and persuasion. They then ‘use our attention to sell us products\’ or influence our beliefs.

When we analyse the social structure of the world:

Local people work in the fields to produce things using their physical strength. Some people, including these physical workers’ educated children, use their mental labor for digital influence. Their duty in various companies is branding, marketing, and persuasion. These companies make these two communities(The Working Class) either buy their products or believe what they want them to believe. And these two communities need to pay for it in cash, which they generated by their physical or mental labor.

The academic community also plays a role in this system. They study and interpret the world, but there is no mechanism to make everyone understand their interpretations and thoughts. Most of the studies are not worth the money that local people give for them. Half of the academic community works for the working class, The rest of the academics work for he political community.

Political community is the one that coordinates the whole system. But They are doing this through corruption and illegal activities. Politicians use their physical and mental labor to advertise themselves as efficient human beings in order to hypnotise society. This way, they can control the mob.

Artists and entertainers also play a role in this system. They do the same work as politicians, but their intention is only money and fame, not power. Artists create entertainment that appeals to the first two communities(the working class). They also mix their advocacy for the working class issues into their entertainment or art.

Meanwhile, entertainers only try to attract everyone through entertainment programs. This group always works under the control of the political community. 

We must develop a system that can keep the peace and ensure that everyone has the resources they need to survive, no doubt in it! And for a system, we require political communities and political activists, as well as job creators in the business world. A business model should involve people in work that generates money or resources for human survival. Work gives people discipline and worth, and the money or resources they earn keep them alive.

However, our current system is not working according to this idea and intention. We need to identify the mistakes we have made and which communities have caused problems with this model.

Physical workers are not satisfied with their low wages. They cannot survive on their income, especially with the rising cost of food, shelter, and other essential resources. Mental labourers are also not at peace, due to the competitive mindset created by companies.

Politicians are going with the flow because they cannot make rigid decisions that would jeopardize their survival in this community. Their decisions are all interconnected with public opinion(popular stand of the majority), which is largely influenced by the business community through the media. Public opinion is not naturally formed 90% of the time, but the business community creates it through advanced media strategies for their own business purposes.

I forgot to mention one more community: the government( Official Servants of the people or the executives). It is a product of the political community, where the political community creates its own workers and pays them with public money to run the government. Most of these workers work for the survival of the political community. Anyone who tries to use this power to improve the working class will eventually be silenced.

So, where are we in this dilemma? How are we going to fix this system?  It’s called the future.
