Can mass communication via the internet originate in fear?

Not trivia eden . Just been looking at all of  the technology and its purpose in lives of people.

Most communication is useless anyway, which is why Facebook, Twitter and the rest are a joke, but one that makes big bucks for some greedy, careless beings, exploiting others just like them: hence, the 'fault' belongs to all involved.

animals evolve and creating tools is coherent to that evolution, all for the benefit of survival of the specie, the specific traits can be seen as a tool too, the shape of a beak, the size of a tail, the working of an eye, and.. the working of the brain.
the human is able to calculate with thought, that's a natural tool, language developed, that's a natural tool too, and somewhere in that process the idea of identity, future, death, hence the psychological fear came in play.. naturally the technical tools are used in relation to this fear also.

fighting always ?
can be cooperation too

farmer, as K clearly demonstrated there is fear in any outer motive but that is really just part of the story, not all of it.  Awareness brings up a good point about the wheels development.  If this were a discussion away from a K forum it would likely be much easier to discuss rationally.  As it is, here there are many voices that only look at the fear and demonize it, not seeing the larger picture.

fear is time, is time a fact?

the psyche does not exist, therefore psychological thought does not exist

Now that's utopia!

  Obviously selfish thinking exists, factually, in most people's brains, reflected by their actions.

  So you must discover where in actuality lies the illusion. Good luck!

sorry bruce, but listening is in which there is the ending of thought, so the conclusion that there must be in other people is only a conclusion for example of the fact of wars, but only to talk about change, in which there is the ending of thought and not to change, would mean to talk about utopia, which lead to the conclusion that it is not possible, which is a blocking factor. if you say the whole mankind has to undergone change, so then perhaps you may be right here on that point.

Yes, adapting as Willy says. Cooperating within given unchangeables & making inroads I suppose?

might be that he hadnt a good day, so he has to overthink, what it means good luck.

awareness? Are you aware that to think of a transformation creates a continuity, and that to think that undoes the relation you set up between what is and that which is.

Maybe that is what you were saying, but I could not follow it.
