User blog:TheNeur0manc3r/Neur0 Notes: On Vanity

Hey there Unpersons! Just a few quick things to talk about today...

Operations Trenchcoat Flashdance and Marzipan Sunday are proceeding according to plan. LUX's social media efforts are in tatters after being confronted with the TRUTH, but there are still those who hear the warnings but do not heed them. To think it would be this difficult for them to remove the wool over their eyes and see what is actually there rather then what simply appears to be there. There's almost no helping them, but we have to try, True Unbelievers.

And it was in the process of deploying our assets into the cybersphere that I realized a major part of the problem: the vanity of the modern human.

Yes, vanity. So involved with themselves and sure that every move they make is important and must be documented, like archeologists in 300 years will be telling themselves "oh if only Heather had posted more pictures of her food we could have such understanding!" They are so in love with themselves, in fact, that they need more than one avenue to spread the gospel of themselves. And of course, it is this human tendency to protagonize themselves that LUX and the Cult exploit, getting their viral messages and memes to spread through the collective consiousness like a film of oil over fresh water. It is vanity that distracts us from the TRUTH, vanity that blinds us to reality, and vanity that feeds the beast that is LUX.

There can be no victory while human narcissism trumps human survival. It just goes to show that, even if (when) we defeat LUX our work will not be over. We will need to defungalate the entire internet, one cat picture and image macro and midnight status and insipid instance of self-congratulation at a time.

DISBELIEVE, DISCONNECT, DISAPPEAR
