Summer is ending, children, and with school teetering on the horizon, here's a chance to exercise your critical thinking skills as preparation.
I would like volunteers for an experiment. A very small one. It'll hardly take effort on your part, as I would not wish to interrupt your daily business. All you need is some recording equipment. Real recording equipment, not fake likely-incorporeal dubiously-"magical" recording equipment used by this network. Digital or analog are acceptable. A webcam or phone camera will suffice.
I intend to find out how it is we can perceive this network, yet others cannot. The next time the narcissistic urge to overshare takes you and you wish to make a post, record yourself doing so. Make two other additional recordings: One of you listening to/watching a post on the network, and a control tape of you doing nothing.
Send your recordings here. Failure to adequately label your tapes will be noted on your permanent record.
[ insert a P.O. box address here ]
[ also an email address that's pretty much just a keysmash gmail account ]
Of course, you need not volunteer if you are uncomfortable at the idea of a semi-voyeuristic stranger watching you go about your private business. All copies of your videos will be disposed of properly. I have no desire to be arrested by the police (real police, not fake space invader alien police) for possessing suspicious camera footage of minors.
Once we can isolate whether this "network" is all in our heads, or if we are interacting with something physical while everyone who has not been visited by the invisible password fairy suffers from selective blindness, or some other unknown factor, we may proceed.
Your cooperation is appreciated. Suggestions for future investigations will be taken under advisement.
