lyrics

Watching me watching you…

The big fish eats the medium, eats the small fish. The little guy always was doomed. And everything free is designed so the consumer is also consumed.

The multi-cloud is tracking us as our shadow profiles grow, but the data brokerage prospectus forecasts the shortest of sales tomorrow.

Was there a breach in the marketing department by hacktivists or rogue corporations?
A ransomware attack on the government?
This gold rush exploits all nations.

When they know what you prefer, they only show you what they infer, and if you can only see what you like, you’re only living but half a life.

An algorithmic mirror predicts merely what it reflects.
Causation is causality.
The ouroboros effect.

Watching me watching you…

And we’re its fractal fingers. The digits rendered in flesh, who exist in selfsame synchrony, raised in Big Data’s crèche.
