SILICON HOPE
By Monica Moran 2025
The seriousness by which the institution took its disclosures was startling to someone with little to no clinical training. The MCAT helped to fill in the missing pieces; however, complete comprehension was next to impossible due to the logical formatting itself. The table was limited to four options of absolute truth and traditional commitment.
Most of their interests were within their own presentations and excessive need to be “in on” the performance. The materials had formatted the answer choices as match, eliminate or guess.The importance of match had been demonstrated repeatedly throughout various institutions and venues and had a compulsion throughout the platforms themselves. I recalled the empty neurology department and abandoned offices that haunted the back wards throughout New York City's oldest public hospital. One typo could destroy a central sense of agency and an entire career for the traditionally committed. What was perceived by the hyperpersonalized as mocking was actually the matching which necessitates memory and access to future committees.
At times the street presentations would appear comical. I distracted myself with a YouTube reel from 1999. I was collecting data on all of the school shootings since 2020 for a class I was already dropping. "Let us express our anger with words and not guns," President Clinton urgently delivered his statement on the Columbine shooting.
I saw a clear picture now--clearer than I did in the late 90s when websites seemed commissioned. More so than the status quo. I continued to search for another distraction as an adult man stood across from me leaping into a pose. A familiar pose; like those featured in Jake’s brochure. More of the same type of information you might immediately disregard if presented with a different interface.
What had become increasingly clear was that the spectrum itself was the subject, not an internet provider. Remembering however, that was circa 1999. Most of the media presented during that commission had long-term social justice in mind and institutional investors. Researchers claimed, in online studies, that their findings weren't as interested in "displaced identity" and its predominance over motivation, so much as what the clients chose. Who they chose to be, and why. “The IBM model assumes that identities are dynamically constructed in context that are congruent with currently active identities”. I supplemented my data with the IBM model.
Much of the design endorsed falsification of identity among other evident factors. The falsification extended beyond the person and onto the institution as venues for entertainment and other coercion. In more extreme cases, identity displacement and falsification extended to prisons and military branches.
I thought IBM's dynamic structure was best explained by President Clinton's remarks on the Columbine shooting. It was a lucky coincidence indeed. The picture became clearer still.
Clinton went on to describe his personal understanding of the "dimensions" of the case. "I think on this case it's very very important that we have the facts…as far as we can find them out you know we had the conference here last fall the attorney general and the secretary of education prepared the handbook for all the schools that we asked to be widely used and we do have from bitter and sad experience a great cadre of very good effective grief counselors."
Understanding identity behavioral models was an introduction to what president Clinton referred to as the "epidemic" that Columbine would become.
Identity recurred as a theme fundamental to the extremes within the field of development of consumer technology. Research access to the trial collection and disclosure was limited to the findings and the findings were primarily presentation based. The same man now struck a second pose from Jake’s brochure.
It had been suggested that broadcasting itself had become presentation based. Research also stated operant conditioning, and programming with interactive administrators versus traditional network programming which might interact (or not).
The lineup was predictable however, I thought it might be a research opportunity. What was in the pipeline? There were several mediators online and I felt relatively comfortable with the epidemic, or post pandemic, AI scheme. I decided to go ahead and continue to fail upward.
As promised by the product's producers (and the Clintons). The features would suddenly just appear (three hours later by New York, time at least). Whether you got a screen shot or in actual realtime, it wouldn't go unnoticed. Our collective consciousness would remind us of what seemed to be a shared device. The spectrum or these shared experiences featured as products, were still not fully understood by 2020 and rightfully named the pandemic.
Don't get in the vehicle. Don't answer the door. The list of suggestions would continue as we failed upward.
Understanding New York traffic was helpful but not an entire comprehension of the dimensions of the environmental conditions in Reno, Nevada. I understood the air strike concept, full spectrum. It was creepy but everything in Reno was creepy. You didn’t really want to go near the Marvel metaverse thing and I had a nasty toe fungus which could almost coincide with simply watching a Darren Aronofsky movie. Darren Aronofsky was featured at the Las Vegas Sphere the year before. And I still wasn't sure if that was actually Leonardo DiCaprio at Compass Medical Cargo & Supplies. But priorities were different in Nevada. The sand and the heat in the mostly desert state transformed perception into a single polymer chain of repeating nucleotide units that stored and carried genetic instructions for life.
What was once a dated GI Joe, Focus Feature, had now become a slippery syrup we would all have to share on the spectrum. But if you wanted to recite the misinformation provided by air strikes from the Pentagon Papers, it was an infected Disney park. Everything I touched seemed dirty. The dirty discomfort of northern Nevada, east of the university. Outside of broadcasting, related statistical analysis and interactivity was the influence it had on standards of care in health markets. Environmental damage along the coast was memorable.
Another theory could be supported; a simply underrated and overlooked Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio performance, if research fast-forwarded to now.
