I am extremly blessed to be old still enjoying my passion for new words and concepts. My dear sister Happy sent me the link below this morning.
ZOOCHOSIS THEORY IN AMERICA TIKTOK REACTION
In H.G. Wells’ The Time Machine, George travels to a distant future where humanity has split into two species. The Eloi—soft, passive, and emotionally dulled—live in surface-level comfort but lack empathy, curiosity, or courage. When one of their own begins to drown, they simply stand and watch.
The Time Machine: ~ Eloi River Scene
That scene haunted me. Not just as fiction, but as a mirror of what is happening now. While we are lost in our screens, selfishly imprisioned in our own minds, dangerous waters are flowing around us, as geological, social and medical needs go unfulfilled.
Today, we see a similar emotional detachment in what TikTok creators have dubbed Zoochosis—a term borrowed from animal psychology to describe the mental distress caused by captivity. But this isn’t about cages and zoos. It’s about cubicles, screens, algorithms, and concrete. It’s about the slow erosion of joy, agency, and connection in a world that’s become too artificial for the human soul.
As someone who’s worked with computers since the early 1970s, I’ve watched this evolution unfold. I’ve seen ADHD and emotional disconnection deepen across generations. I’ve seen people become spectators in their own lives—scrolling, pacing, numbing. And I’ve felt the pull myself.
But I’ve also found the antidote.
🌟 Joy, Prayer, and Meditation: My Liberation Toolkit
At a blessed 73 years here on Earth, I’ve learned that healing doesn’t come from stupid—it comes from spirit. I use joy, prayer, and meditation to break the chains of mental captivity. These practices reconnect me to something deeper than dopamine hits or digital validation. They remind me that I am not a machine—I am a soul. So are you.
And when I dance to En Vogue’s Free Your Mind, and other liberation tunes, I feel truth in my bones. We have the answers. That song isn’t just a groove—it’s a declaration: “Free your mind and the rest will follow…”
It’s a reminder that liberation begins within. Let's reclaim our rhythm, our breath, our wildness. Leave no living being behind.
Rewilding and re-wiring our Future: A Call to Action
We can’t afford to become Eloi, though the evidence is obvious shows we already have. The USA government is snatching people off the streets, shooting priests and others for money, we must act now, non-violently and wisely.
That means:
- Rewilding our environments—through regenerative design, 3D Printing, nature-based living, and sacred architecture. Use clean & safe energies, magnetic, graphene, solar, hydro...
- Restoring community—through storytelling, legacy, and shared purpose.
- Reclaiming agency—by choosing joy over numbness, presence over passivity.
Zoochosis is real. So is healing. And it begins with a choice. "Look Up!"
So I invite you to free your mind.
Dance to your favorite music, if only played in your head.
Pray to the Lord who made and is orbiting each of your protons, neutrons and electrons around their assigned nucleus, configures them plus assigns a controlling spirit.
Meditate, be quiet and listen to your what Niro Markoff calls "Your Healer Within".
Build sanctuaries - FOOL FREE ZONE - where you are free to live your joy, even if it's just the success of another breath.
Share stories.
And remember: the future isn’t written yet. We get to shape it. JOY!
