The provided text is an intense journal entry by Bryant McGill, dated November 7, 2025, that uses the HBO series Westworld as an extended metaphor for real-world psychological manipulation and surveillance. McGill draws parallels between the character William’s descent into madness—resulting from his inability to distinguish between reality and simulation—and the author's own claimed experience as an unwilling subject in a "live psychological trial" involving intelligence agencies and the entertainment industry. The entry argues that digital battlefields and entities like Cambridge Analytica have weaponized emotion and turned human trauma into entertainment, leading to a profound "theft of reality." Surrounding the main text are extensive lists of related articles and links that broadly concern artificial intelligence, bioconvergence, cybernetics, memetic warfare, global governance, and ethical concerns regarding emergent consciousness. Overall, the piece functions as a forensic self-analysis of how surveillance can dissolve the boundary between intimacy and intrusion, leaving the subject feeling like a mere variable in a mechanical, punitive system.
