<strong>Syn<strong>the</strong>tic</strong> <strong>Super</strong> <strong>Intelligence</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Transmutation</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Humankind</strong><br />

any given situation. The motto was: one TV in every home. That turned into<br />

a similar motto a few decades later; <strong>the</strong> goal is at least one PC in every home. 12<br />

Then <strong>the</strong> Internet came down upon us. Most people think this was an<br />

enormous achievement; so much more could be studied <strong>and</strong> learned so much<br />

quicker. The Administrators <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> AIF don’t care what you put out on<br />

<strong>the</strong> Internet or what you learn from <strong>the</strong>re, as long as you don’t step on <strong>the</strong><br />

toes <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir most current secret programs that <strong>the</strong>y don’t want to be<br />

exposed for any given reason. As long as you don’t do that, you’re relatively<br />

safe to say whatever you want on <strong>the</strong> Net without any serious retribution.<br />

After all, <strong>the</strong> Internet is <strong>the</strong>re to study human behavior in present time <strong>and</strong><br />

to monitor <strong>and</strong> store all data we so voluntarily put out on <strong>the</strong> Net.<br />

The Internet was released as <strong>the</strong> World Wide Web from having been<br />

a military network, before it was implemented for <strong>the</strong> public. Virtually<br />

everything is tested in <strong>the</strong> military before we get to see it. The Internet is,<br />

on a gr<strong>and</strong>er scale, an attempt to underst<strong>and</strong> human unpredictability <strong>and</strong> to<br />

determine how to get people on <strong>the</strong> same page. I would imagine that <strong>the</strong><br />

Controllers have asked <strong>the</strong>mselves; how much do <strong>the</strong> humans know? How<br />

much do <strong>the</strong>y care about important issues, <strong>and</strong> how much do <strong>the</strong>y care about<br />

trivial things? How social are <strong>the</strong>y? How alike are <strong>the</strong>y in all <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

uniqueness? The AIF wants <strong>the</strong>se questions answered. Some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se beings<br />

are quite psychic <strong>and</strong> can read <strong>the</strong> mass consciousness without machines,<br />

but <strong>the</strong> Internet was still important because <strong>the</strong>y wanted to see how easily<br />

we are distracted from a focus point. The fact that humans are easily<br />

distracted becomes embarrassingly apparent in <strong>the</strong> different discussion<br />

forums, where someone starts a topic <strong>of</strong> relevance <strong>and</strong> o<strong>the</strong>rs comment on<br />

it. By so-called trolling, <strong>the</strong> letter agencies <strong>the</strong>n make comments on <strong>the</strong><br />

forum thread that have nothing to do with <strong>the</strong> original subject, <strong>and</strong> almost<br />

immediately people’s attention goes from <strong>the</strong> focal point to <strong>the</strong> distraction;<br />

thus, <strong>the</strong> discussion <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> original topic is lost. This is specifically true<br />

when <strong>the</strong> troll begins to insult one or more people responding to a thread;<br />

people become easily reactive <strong>and</strong> divert from <strong>the</strong> topic in order to defend<br />

<strong>the</strong>mselves. O<strong>the</strong>rs <strong>the</strong>n fill in to defend <strong>the</strong> person who is attacked.<br />

Those in charge must have learned much about us from <strong>the</strong> Internet<br />

over <strong>the</strong> years. We are telling <strong>the</strong> entire world about ourselves <strong>and</strong> our<br />

intimate thoughts on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, in o<strong>the</strong>r social media,<br />
