Non-readers aren't exactly the ones pioneering their own crutch but it does seem that way. They are being guided by readers in their efforts and the idea that non-readers are creating it is an illusion.

Non-readers will never know the truth if they fully embrace the artificial noosphere.

For readers it will be simialar to how the internet and other external communication devices currently interface with the natural noosphere. They will be required to focus on the artificial and less on the natural. This is convenient for many readers as some prefer the privacy of using mental blocks and other modes of communication. As this happens they lose motivation to expand their abilities and will accept further artificial upgrades.

I would seem that Exiled Reader and Arbitrary Walls, the two readers here, have different opinions on the nature of the incipient artificial noosphere. As a nonreader I suspect that nonreaders are more like experimental rats in the development of this articial noosphere than true codesigners or even minor participants in its design. Whether we're talking about the nanobotic prototype or the end product, there is no such thing as informed consent wrt to participation in any noosphere. that's the nature of the beast.

As a result of being exiled at different times and having different levels of awareness of the Hierarchy's various agendas, I think we have different perspectives on the nature of the developing tech. As far as most readers know there is no public experimentation occurring using nanotech or frequency and sound devices. If the majority of readers did know then they probably wouldn’t stand for it. Most readers are led to believe that the artificial noosphere is being created with good intentions. In fact it is only certain factions of the Hierarchy of Heads who want to use the artificial sphere for power and control.

Most readers are waiting for some kind of obvious new technology to be released. Many are expecting to see a new type of device that can be attached to people like eye glasses linked to the internet or something. Most readers do believe that it is still a generation or two away before this tech is released to the public but from what I understand the time will come much sooner.

While they will release a device that is seen as a “crutch” the Hierarchy will actually be using other tech on people at the same time. When the full scope of the artificial sphere is implemented, the mechanisms by which it operates will be shrouded in secrecy. People may believe they are just wearing glasses that link them to the artificial sphere but there will be other mechanisms at work that sync one’s biorhythms to the machinery, such as nanotech or other undetectable devices. After time and acquired dependency, readers will be convinced of the superiority of the artificial sphere and will give up on furthering the development of their natural abilities.

Non-readers are definitely lab rats in the experiment as opposed to co-designers but they are the primary focus of consumer research and data mining, so in that respect the information and opinions they share help co-create the artificial sphere.

Umm ... I haven't had any of these "designing" readers ask me my opinion. You make it sound so benign when all of it is totally covert and underhanded. They just want to know what works and what does not work for their purposes not our benefit. But you're right about two things - they are much further along than even you think and the shroud of secrecy. Just what truth are they hiding? When there's no transparency, there's no accountability.

They don't need to ask. The internet is like one big focus group and everything you do online goes into their consumer research.
