        INTRODUCTION, bringing form to common notions 

        Know the Face of Ego 
        ==================== 

        The ego is the tool of the unconscious and the foundation of the 
 conscious.  Motivations of conscious action (the voice of the ego) can be 
 heard plainly, and many of the voices can be given faces. 

        - "I want to be" (instinct) 
        - "I want to be valid to me" (Logos) 
        - "I want to be valid to the outside" (Eros) 

        Much of psychology and philosophy is basically derived from these 
 statements. 

        Know the Face of Internet 
        ========================= 

        The internet and computers are the ultimate tool of the human 
 mind as cars and giant cranes are the ultimate tool of the human body. 

        For most, the internet and their computers means a whole spectrum 
 of activities from talking to friends to downloading pornography. 

        Seen from the eyes of a programmer like myself though the 
 internet is a new universe of input and output.  (mostly input), where 
 one intakes information that s/he wants that others willing put out. 
 One finds intellecaul stimulus, sexual stimulus, and then, yes, ego 
 stimulus (ego inflation). 

        KNOWING INFLATED EGO IN YOURSELF AND ON THE INTERNET 
        ==================================================== 

        The sound of ego inflation thus "I am most valid.  I will defend 
 the validity of myself to no end with outside contradictoring voices.  I 
 will show them I am most valid, and, if I can't, then they do not exist 
 to me any longer and I pity or hate them and praise myself". 

        If you have ever played a game, any game, on the internet, then 
 it is very probable that you have expeirenced an inflated ego for games 
 to them are like mud to pigs.  There objective is not to stimulate their 
 minds and executing trival, distractive objectives (having fun).  It is 
 to win, to earn merit for their ego. 

        In a much more corruptable venue we see their absurd and many 
 times annoying arguements, essays, and actions.  Such as the things 
 'DARWIN' pointed out in his critique of the internet (HOE #373). 

        Ego inflation directly corrupts and makes one blind to the 
 outside when all s/he can see is itself. 

        "An inflated consciousness is always egocentric and conscious of 
 nothing but its own existance. It is incapable of learning from the past, 
 incapable of understanding contemporary events, and incapable of drawing 
 right conclusions about the future. It is hypnotized by itself and 
 therefore cannot be argued with. It inevitably dooms itself to 
 calamities that must strike it dead." 

                       -- Psycgology and Alchemy (1944). In CW 12. P. 563
