Marina Karlova is a Russian propagandist who asks you to slow down & do things because it makes you happy. If you do things only because it brings money to your bosses, then you have lost yourself . 

We live in a world where lying isn't
shameful but honesty doesn't
pay.

Where it's not about being but
appearing on time .

Where evangelical reach matters
more than private meaning .

Art stopped being art the moment
it was tailored to a target audience outside of your own .

When the question : " why are you doing this" became " what will get me more subscription clicks " ?

When a text
turned into a stack of unhelpful books that take you nowhere & music into
play-list tracks meant to dull the mind .

Every thing is expected to be : fast, convenient & sellable .

Authenticity is seen as something weirdos express.
If you don't simplify , you're
incomprehensible.
If you don't sell out , you're an idiot
The real isn't needed here because it's
not profitable . Privacy has no need to engage, It demands : time, depth & silence .

Modern culture
is built to make authentic seem out-dated
And the empty that's what shines.

You can create something : honest , vibrant , vital . Unfortunately, it'll get no : response , no platform & no chance to be seen .

Not because it's bad but because it's not optimized for the
algorithm.

The brand matters more than the meaning . The dishonest pitch brings them in, more than experience could. If you want to be heard , you are expected to play the game. 

Figure out how to articulate your
value.  How to reach the audience as if
you're not a person but a product
line . Even when paid to write , you will be judged on your font choice .

Nobody has patience any more : When you make a film , you've got to time the runtime and nail the retention points .

Every thing real gets sifted
through a filter ; If it doesn't pass, it's
irrelevant.

The world isn't just sick,
It's learning to ignore healthy behaviors .
It's learning not to see , It's learning to
scroll past anything that doesn't fit convenient expectations .

Authenticity would destroy the gate keepers.

Marketing can't digest authenticity . Algorithms can't display pain,  so they teach you to be someone else .

Even in art ,even in words ; but
especially in feelings .

Fakeness is now : the standard , the
norm, the religion . If you don't play ,
you're out of the game . If you don't sell ,
you don't exist .

If you don't match the :
aesthetic, the trend ,the algorithm --- you're
invisible.

The real isn't just ignored ;
It's not even registered as a signal . You
can create something real : a text ,a song ,
a handmade object , a film , a drawing , a
single word and you know it's alive It
connects .

It's not from a catalog But no
one needs it because :  it's not packaged
No optimized headline , no perfect timing ,
no proper frame , no hashtags , no reach , no
lightweight vibe for tired minds. 

You made a real thing but They wanted fake content . You offer it for free but they
complain about your lack of gate-keeping.

You didn't articulate your
value . You Didn't write an offer . Didn't build
a funnel . E.T.C.. WHEN DID THIS START ?

When
did art become a commodity ? When did a
thought lose value unless it was for sale ?
The real looks weird .

The sellable vs living out of
place In a world where everything is
marketing . Sincerity is an interface
error .

Like technical glitch like if you
landed in a wrong place and they nudge
you out not loudly not in your face but
with algorithms with silence with
scrolling.

Everything that doesn't fit
becomes invisible And everything that
sparkles moves and engages becomes
successful .

Not because it's good but
because the virus has become the system.
You live in a world where you have to
justify being real & lies are built in
by default .

This isn't just a swap, It's
an architecture where packaging has
devoured content and form has squeezed
out the essence .

You look at it all the
marketing the packaging the culture and
if you still got a few working neurons left,
you start to smell a rat .

It's impersonal narcissism by every marker but pure diagnostics .

Everything here is geared
toward : being seen not being toward being
liked not existing , toward grabbing
attention not having meaning , You're
taught not to feel but to perform to
produce to polish your
position .

This isn't random, It's not
cultural evolution , It's a selection
Systematic deliberate ruthless , A
selection of for the narcissistic
pattern not in people ; but in reality
itself .

If you've spent your life feeling
something's off , like everything's
playing out according to some cold
soulless script :  Truth is absent ,
depth is a flaw,  honesty is a weakness
& empathy is a dysfunction.

You didn't
imagine it .
That script is real .
