The Media stimulates the masses, Skynet measures the response, and the AI Model adjusts The Agenda going forward (A21, A30). The "War of the Worlds" radio broadcast and "The Day After" TV show measured public readiness for disclosure. Target's bathroom policy measured the effectiveness of social engineering. Testing, testing, these are only tests, expensive tests for some but The Machine has virtually unlimited funds. “There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to – The Outer Limits.

Just like the commentary your blog generates. The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades. Resistance is futile, or is it? Jeff
