Deep dives
Anxiety around technology and zombies
There is a growing anxiety around the blurring of the line between humans and technology, leading to fears of losing control over ourselves. This anxiety is reflected in the fear of zombies, which are beings without free will or control. In an increasingly technological society where we rely on advanced biotechnology and platforms controlled by powerful individuals and institutions, the lack of control and understanding can contribute to these fears. The anxiety is further fueled by the belief that technology and government entities are manipulating human beings and potentially unleashing a zombie apocalypse. However, these anxieties are unfounded and lack evidence. October 4th, which is associated with a nationwide test of the emergency alert system, has been the focus of conspiracy theories linking it to the activation of nanoparticles in the human body and the potential transformation into zombies. These theories are based on misinformation and misunderstandings of scientific concepts. As the date passes without any significant events, it becomes clear that these fears are unfounded and lack any real basis.
