I-NoFap futhi inobudlelwano nalokho ubuchwepheshe bemidiya obenzayo njengamanje kubantu.
Abaningi bethu beza ngoba sikhombe imiphumela ubuchwepheshe obube nayo ebuchosheni bethu, nokuthi buhlanekezele kanjani izindlela zethu zokuvuza. Okudala imiphumela emibi yokushaya indlwabu izimbangela ezidalwe ukuthuthuka okuqhuma kwesayensi nobunjiniyela ngekhulu leminyaka elidlule, nakho okwadala izindlela ezilula zokukhiqiza, futhi ekugcineni kukhiqize inqwaba yezindaba. Ikhamera, ucingo, umsakazo, ithelevishini, ikhompyutha, futhi ekugcineni i-intanethi. Sifikile lapho abezindaba beqhelelene ngemizuzwana khona, belungele ukusetshenziswa kwethu. Iningi lethu lapha likubonile okungakudala ngokushaya indlwabu: ukubulala izinzwa ngempilo. Kepha kuthiwani ngezinye izindlela ubuchwepheshe obakha ngazo indlela esenza ngayo nokuthi siba ngobani?
“Ukuzijabulisa Ekufeni” nguNeil Postman uphendula lowo mbuzo. Le ncwadi ukugxeka okungaqondakali kokuthi ubuchwepheshe bezindaba benzani kubantu, nemiphumela eye yaba nayo kwezepolitiki, ezemfundo, ezenkolo, kanye nasekubulaweni kwezinye izindawo ezimpilweni zethu. Yabhalwa eminyakeni engamashumi amabili eyedlule ngakho-ke umxhumanisi ophambili ogxekwa ithelevishini, kepha isabambe imithombo yezindaba eminingi esisikhukhumeza nsuku zonke. Uma ifundwa ngokubambisana ne- “The Shallows: What Internet is doing to our Brains”, noma ngubani angaqaphela futhi akhathazeke ngemiphumela emibi ubuchwepheshe obungaba nayo ekhonweni lethu lokubamba nokuhlaziya ulwazi. Kokubili kufundwa okufishane futhi, futhi ngikuncoma ngenhliziyo yonke.
Ngesikhathi sami lapha ngibone izinkomba eziningi kwiMatrix. Ikakhulukazi, ukuthi ngemuva kokubandakanya i-NoFap kuye kwaba sengathi kukhishwe iMatrix. Lokhu akuyona into engaqondakali. Ukuqinisa ukuxhumana phakathi kwemiphumela emibi yobuchwepheshe engiyibalulile ngenhla, nansi isandulela sencwadi ethi "Ukuzijabulisa Ekufeni", lapho umbhali aqhathanisa khona amanoveli e-dystopian kaGeorge Orwell no-Aldous Huxley:
“Besiqaphe iso ku-1984. Ngenkathi unyaka ufika futhi isiprofetho singenzi, abantu baseMelika abacabangayo bacula kancane bezincoma. Izimpande zobukhosi obukhululekile zazibambe. Noma ikuphi okunye ukwesaba okwakwenzekile, thina, okungenani, sasingakavakashelwa amaphupho amabi ka-Orwellian.
Be besikhohliwe ukuthi eceleni kombono omnyama ka-Orwell, kwakukhona omunye – omdala, owaziwa kancane, owethusa ngokulinganayo: I-Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. Ngokuphikisana nenkolelo evamile ngisho naphakathi kwabafundile, uHuxley no-Orwell abaprofethanga into efanayo. U-Orwell uxwayisa ukuthi sizonqotshwa yingcindezelo ebekwe ngaphandle. Kepha ngombono kaHuxley, akekho uBig Brother odingeka ukuphuca abantu inkululeko, ukuvuthwa kanye nomlando. Njengoba akubonile, abantu bazothanda ukucindezelwa kwabo, bathande ubuchwepheshe obuhlehlisa amandla abo okucabanga.
Lokho u-Orwell ayekwesaba yilabo ababezovimba izincwadi. Obekusaba uHuxley ukuthi besingeke sibe khona isizathu sokuvimba incwadi, ngoba ngeke kube khona ofuna ukuyifunda. U-Orwell wesaba labo abazosiphuca imininingwane. UHuxley wesaba labo abazosinika okuningi kangangokuthi sizokwehliswa ekungeneni nasekuziqhenyeni. U-Orwell wesaba ukuthi iqiniso lizofihlwa kithi. UHuxley wesaba ukuthi iqiniso lizocwiliswa olwandle olungabalulekile. U-Orwell wesaba ukuthi sizoba isiko lokuthunjwa. UHuxley wesaba ukuthi sizoba yisiko elincane, sikhathazeke ngokulingana nezinzwa, i-orgy porgy, ne-centrifugal bumblepuppy. Njengoba uHuxley asho kwiBrave New World Revisited, abasebenza ngokukhululeka abasebenza ngokukhululeka nabasekela imibono yabo abahlale bephapheme ukumelana nobushiqela 'bahlulekile ukubheka isifiso sabantu esingapheli seziphazamiso.' Ngo-1984 uHuxley wengeza, abantu balawulwa ukuzwisa ubuhlungu. Ezweni Elisha Lesibindi, zilawulwa ngokuletha ubumnandi. Ngamafuphi, u-Orwell wesaba ukuthi esikuthandayo kuzosilimaza. U-Huxley wesaba ukuthi lokho esikuthandayo kuyosilimaza.
Le ncwadi imayelana nokuthi kungenzeka ukuthi uHuxley, hhayi u-Orwell, wayeqinisile. ”
Ungagcini nje ngokushaya indlwabu. Ngiyaninxusa ukuba nibe nokungabaza ngemiphumela ubuchwepheshe obuba nayo kwezinye izingxenye zempilo yakho. Njengomuntu umsebenzi wakhe ohleliwe oncike ekukhiqizweni kwami nasendleleni engimunca ngayo futhi ngiyicubungule ngayo imininingwane, nginyathela ngokuqapha ngaphambi kokuba ngamukele ukusebenzisa ubuchwepheshe.
