Theory 3: Existentialist Illness of Cyberneticism, or Cybermental Illness

The phenomenon of cyber-mental illness is a growing problem. Indeed, it would be of great benefit to expand the sociological field of cyberneticism. If we follow the positivist constructionism rule, it can be tested that, as a form of mental illness, may be applied to computer users and their psychoanalytic, functional, and/or socio-economical behaviors. However, I prefer not to label these alongside the term mental illness, because of its suggestive nature of negative meaning hidden in the snobbery embezzlement of English language by high self-esteemed scientists. Instead, I would redefine the term to existentialist illness of cyberneticism or simply techno-existentialist illness.

The definition of such can be classified as traditionally applicable to functional disorder. If we apply the positivist constructionism rule to a category of population living in the United States, I believe that there would be a significant amount of population with patterns of existentialist description of bleakness in livelihood, depression, antisocial, sufferings, negative outlooks, and/or political dissidents that may contribute to certain deviant or behavioral acts. In addition to the theoretical illness, I would prefer to neglect biological-cause factors as a form of disorder. If I include these, then it simply means that there would be a form of perceived bad treatments toward disabled ones, elders, or youths in a cultural misunderstood of translations. It is this reason that I selected functional disorder as experimental information among Internet users.

The memoir, or passage, fit such a descriptive pattern. Although the originality of case itself is an unsolvable case (when politics is involved, confidentiality is the only answer), it is interesting to note that the main cause was of an apparent cultural conflict in sociological patterns among the deaf community. Not only that, there was also an apparent drift in a selected societal path, as is evident in the breakdown of familial relationship process. The constructionist layer of prophetic deviant actions during and exiting of the societal norm process foreshadowed a hint of atmospheric initial stage of determinist absolutism and objectivism. The deviant career is therefore a result not only of spousal reject, but also circle of friendships that affect and/or influence the stressed decision of abandonment.

It is important to note that the passage is a first person viewpoint, which can be controversial. By the definition of controversy, I meant to point out the outside factors that are the dangerous tool of all: being neglected, attentive, and confirmed, for no reason at all. It is inasmuch an issue of perceived point of view outside the inner circle of friendships. Therefore, I predict that over next decade, Internet users may potentially be the main contributor to the rise of techno-existentialist illness, in which one may be alienated through privacy issues, perpetuated societal causation factor, mal-informed rumors, and/or political personality. In fact, if one is to read the buggy passage, it was obvious that there were several viral governmental pupatings in the mind.

It is easier if I am to extend the definition of techno-existentialist illness. The term includes the structuralist redefine of how one may learned a culture from another. As a case in the passage, this is intriguing, in part because one was able to comprehend others politically and culturally. Although the techno-existentialist illness is on its basic pathway of categorical classifying, one should be careful to label such users as “existentialists” or “self-unaware existentialists”. The very definition of techno-existentialist illness is basically lagged prophetic apocalypse to oneself, which centralize the destruction of essential values of family, expectations of society, and moral judgments through the decentralization of Internet and its associated communications. Thereupon, the institutional information technology department not only alienates citizens, but also their political personality and identity as well. That is the basis of how one may interact with users outside the political landscape, even in the viral-infected cyberspace.

At the final stage of positivist constructionism, we expect the Internet users to recover, improve, and impose social limitations on themselves. Techno-existentialist illness itself is reduced to a minimal level from the maximum output of the initial stage of positivist constructionism. The illness does not away; rather, it stays at a stable equilibrium of minimal value. I suspect that the age range of these values run from twenty-two to twenty-nine years old, when the maturity of adulthood is tested. Such illness is a disease, not because of the society, but socio-technological tools. Ultimately, the very human mind itself is a disease throughout the cyber-communications, cyber-society, and cyber-consciousness.
