There are ant parasites that hijack the ant's brain and make the ant commit suicide. Are people turning in to parasites of the world driving it towards suicide? Now, what does it mean?
What if your mind is connected to everything in the universe and every wish of yours eventually comes true? A connected mind create its own reality in a powerful way.
Are these thoughts just something right out of cyber-punk novels and hold no basis in reality?

Desire drives people's actions says Freud. This is talking about desire at just one level. Philosophers from the East tell us that desire birthed the universe.They believe that consciousness/mind precedes all matter and it is desire that birthed this creation and people's intentions and desires determine their ultimate destiny over long eons. This desire is not an equivalent of human desire. It is not like desiring 'I want an orange' and creating an orange. It is more like 'Eros' in greek philosophy, an evolutionary force in the universe. In humans this 'eros' is experienced in its various expressions of desire, some seemingly antithetical to progressive evolution.
Is there any truth to this? We live in a time with prevalent tendencies towards self-destruction. Several scientists have warned about this tendency of our modern technological culture. What if this self-destructive tendency is communicated to a deeper level of primordial substrate and becomes true over time?
Who will be held responsible for such an eventuality? Are we seeding our own eventual fate at a deeper level.
A world gone wrong may just be a mind gone wrong....
