Journal Entry #4 for FEED

‘She looked at me, she didn’t say anything for a second, and then she said, ‘my feedware is damaged.’	90 Chapter: the others in mal	(R) The way that Violet had to tell Titus about her feedware being damaged and the way he reacted was similar to how people in our world would react to someone being ill, there’s moments of real silence and worry amongst them when she tells him the news. The feed seems to truly be a part of them.
‘I could feel someone was nudging my feed. They were nudging it with like their cheek or their nose.’	92 Chapter: nudging	(E) The feed cannot power one’s brain, that’s why they still need to sleep, but the feed is a computer and can stay on the whole time. So when one’s brain is weak enough to not awake people can hack into their feed and disturb the person to the point that they only realize in a dream of what’s happening; just as thieves can steal at night.

‘It has to be understood that when the President referred to the Prime Minister of the Global Alliance as a big ‘shithead,’ what he was trying to convey was, uh- this is an American idiom used to praise people, by referring to the sheer fertilizing power of their thoughts.’

(C, Q) Isn’t this exactly like real life today? Everybody makes mistakes and instead of admitting to them they just come up with maybe a good excuse, but an excuse which is just another lie.

“Later that night I had nightmares. Someone was poking my head with a broom handle they tried to put it like in my ear. They said, ‘whispering makes a narrow place narrower.’”

151 Chapter: nudging again

(R ) Since dreams are always supposed to mean something, I think this one means something too. It is clear to me that it is the cooperation’s speaking to Titus through the feed in this dream. It must mean that gossiping or questioning the feed in any way only will get you into more trouble. The feed processes everything you say and think so even those few thoughts about the feed could alert the cooperation’s into taking precautions and ‘scaring’ Titus into not talking about the feed.

Thanks!
