Dials turned, frequencies adjusted.
Out of the noise, something began to take form.
A movement is started and a message is sent out. By radio waves and beams of light, the message is sent. The transmissions were received everywhere.
The authors of the message had hope, hope for peaceful changes, hope for a bright future for all.
But, it had to start with the truth.
It was a dose of bitter medicine for many as no punches were pulled.
Some, when faced with its harsh truths, were vexed and felt compelled to express their frustration using the very same medium the authors did. Coherence became confusion as more and more angry voices were added to the din. And in time some of the noise began to affect the authors in a negative way.
"How naive we were to be so optimistic! Our eyes are wide open now..."
Stimulation creates excitation and energy gets fed back to the machine as input.
In time, hope turned to pessimism. Then anger. Then defeatism. And, when someone finally broke through the madness and pulled the plug on the machine, it was too late; it had taken on a new source of power and the runaway effect was well underway.
Welcome to the feedback loop.
