Dick Kent - Omni Consumer Products

Unintentionally the tech industry asks an important question: How will humans move forward with the technological evolutions of today? At the same time the so-called tech pioneers of the 2000-2020's platonically ask the same question, only to eventually evade its logical and meaningful answering.

Silicon Valley loves the image of being open-minded, debatable and eager for discussion about ways of ethics, economical dependencies within society, the way they approach users with their products and what solutions they offer. Solutions for society and the individual in it. Because from their standpoint, both do not function properly. In reality, there is no discussion and debating in the tech companies in Silicon Valley. A culture of discussing and debating logical solutions for problems in society is not welcome there. In their logic it is hip and cool to be working for their corporations. And they are trying hard to convince us of this with company e-scooters to get from Deck A to Area C and free burritos. They downright celebrate their illusion of 'New Work'. To them, it is enough to offer a bowl of fruits on meeting tables and yoga mats for their employees, to label themselves as work friendly islands with happy, well moraled and ethically educated workers and that they are shaping the future for a better world. At the same time, at the other end of the spectrum, Uber drivers and Amazon delivery guys are being fired for attempts of forming unions and demanding fair pay. Their Gig-Economy has created the illusion for society, that their "non-family members" are truly doing something new, something that has never been done before: Experiencing freedom on the job, going places, meeting new peoples and being able to save money for the new car, the wives birthday gifts and the children's college funds.

It is about how the tech entrepeneurs really truly believe they are being revolutionary; but only without revolutionizing anything. Therein lies the ethics of geniuses like Dorsey, Zuckerberg, Bezos or Thiel. They invest other peoples money to in return slave-drive still others. And for that, they hold themselves the right to present us their personalities as courageous, as willing to take risks and yes, even revolutionary. It is the attitude, that is of false self-esteem, driven by fear and anger and the mechanism of the market: that the users ideal has to be shaped to their business models. They have even convinced the media of this sphere of smoke and mirrors.

Uber looses money daily. Cab companies loose money daily. But if you read the tech industries statements and the common media coverage, it obviously is not the same. Only one thing becomes obvious. Revolutions just don't come in yellow or checkered cabs. They come in promises of a brighter future for the individuals work freedom and going places on the job, meeting new people by doing New Work. Only without the social security a non-revolutionary full time job offered. Apple, with hundreds of billions of dollars, is the partisan underdog. And the app developer, who explicitly bans ads and collection of data from his product, the witch crafting dissident.

The self proclaimed tech-gurus despise not the manipulators, they despise the manipulated. In their logic this allows them uproar against the elites by at the same time being extremely elitist: "If you are dumb enough to buy what I sell or work with the interface I developed, who knows if you should be allowed to vote.". Of course their rhetoric at TED-Talks and in TV interviews is much more eloquent. They hide behind slogans of 'Disruption', 'Innovation' and 'Revolution'. They say they have revolutionized the way we communicate. But in reality they tell us: "Look, we have built this wonderful toy for you, and you can use it to be neonazis or attack each other as such." Toys that are spam overloaded with dickpics and crosslinking to agitation platforms for incels and trolls.

One just imagined if companies like Apple with billions of Dollars functioned properly, and not as profit-driven zombie corporations that have no real life value for (the improperly functioning individual in) society. How in the hell could a company like Google worth hundreds of billions of Dollars be looked upon as revolutionary?


To express his disgust with this kind of mentality, Dick Kent in the end developed a product of mass destruction himself. The Infinite Rage 3000. A mental long distance soundweapon, shooting directly into the minds of those afore mentioned profit-driven zombie corporations and its responsible individuals and creatures.
