THE DEVIL UNBOUND

MEDITATIONS ON THE EFFECTS OF DISINFORMATION ON SOCIAL HEALTH, INDIVIDUAL HAPPINESS, AND HOW TO USE CRITICAL THINKING TO MITIGATE THEM.

A PROJECT BY PEYTON J. DRACCO

I WORKED AS AN INTELLIGENCE OPERATIVE FOR THIS GOVERNMENT AND THEIR BUDDIES, WHICH ASIDE FROM BEING MORE LUCRATIVE THAN IT SHOULD BE, HAD ME DOING EVERYTHING A SENSIBLE HUMAN SHOULD REFUSE TO DO, LIKE SETTING UP DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGNS. AND I LOVED IT.

ADMITTEDLY, I WAS A DIFFERENT BEING THEN.

AND I ONCE OWNED A FEW COMPANIES THAT ALSO HAD ME DOING WHAT MUM ALWAYS TOLD ME NOT TO

My education began in the technology sector. I completed my first round of university time with a degree in computer sciences from York University.

Later, once I realised that technology was only a starting point for what I wanted to do, I enrolled in the prestigious University of Toronto, where I completed a degree in Business Commerce.

I wanted to be filthy rich, in case you wondered what a degree in computer sciences couldn’t help me do.

Let me mention now, in case it’s necessary, that I am not “really” the Devil, but people around me accuse me of resembling him. HOwever, I can’t care enough to worry about such recognition. Instead, I wear the label proudly.

It was a reoccurring dream that led me to embrace this phantasmagorical idea of the Devil. A dream in which I saw myself as powerful, limitless, and unbound by the insignificant expectations others had of me.

In the Article When I Dream of Me: Exploring my internal symbols, I write explicitly about this series of dreams.

There is a poem about the reflection of this archetype on my psyche that I don’t remember writing. And that, my dear apes, is a trick not many can pull off successfully. Writing while unconscious is as cool as turning water into wine. Okay, I might have gone too far with the wine part, but mine is an admirable endeavour, too.

You can read Ode To a Dream here and delight in my poetic prowess.

If all this was not grand enough to warrant books written about me, I should mention that I have penned two, and I’m currently finishing the third one.

I write about crime and behaviour, about international fraud, mass manipulation, and corruption. I write about disinformation, happiness, and critical thinking. Why? Because I know them well, of course.

This experience is the permission I need to write about disinformation and other issues affecting society here.

However, and I say this seriously, not a single point on this page measures up to my incessant need to challenge current and conventional wisdom. I am driven by one imperative: to challenge everything I know and everything I think I know.

There you have it.

Remember to be bad, in a good way, of course.
