The Fluid Reflection
How Water, Technology, and Our Thoughts Shape the World Around Us
A Moment of Stillness
Today, as I drove home from work, my mind kept circling back to water. I couldn’t quite put my finger on it—it just simmered under the surface. When I got home, I took a wonderful shower and finished with a blast of cold water. What a relief—it’s like hitting the reset button for the mind, bringing you right back to the present moment. Everyone should try it sometime.
Masaru Emoto and the Structure of Water
Later in the afternoon, while having coffee with my wife, the thoughts returned: water, always water. Soon, I found myself thinking about Masaru Emoto’s work. Often dismissed as pseudoscience, Emoto documented extensively how thoughts and emotions can influence the structure of water. It made me wonder—why is something like that so easily cast aside? Especially when we consider that we ourselves are made up of 70 percent water. I’m not saying this was dismissed out of some malicious intent, but it’s definitely something worth pausing to consider, given everything that’s going on in the world.
Nestlé and the Control of Water
That thought kept chasing me. It reminded me of something I read a while back: an article about Nestlé—a multinational giant that controls more than seventy bottled water brands worldwide. They hold enormous sway over water sources, often buying up water rights from landowners or even entire areas where springs are found. In developing countries, Nestlé sells purified groundwater under the brand name ‘Nestlé Pure Life.’ This raises ethical questions about the privatization of water and the fundamental human right to clean drinking water.
The Rise of AI in Water Monitoring
And now, with the rise of AI, which can recognize patterns and structures faster than we ever could, I find myself wondering how much influence these companies might have on our lives and even our emotional states. When you read about structured water, you realize that with AI, water could also be “structured.” There are already devices on the market from companies like UMH and Natural Action Technologies that claim to restructure water for better absorption in the body. At the same time, companies like WINT and Fulcrum use AI and sensors to monitor water quality and detect leaks before we’d ever notice them ourselves.
I’m not saying all these claims are legitimate or that this is necessarily happening right now, but the idea that technology can influence the water we drink every day—and therefore our bodies, our cells, and perhaps even our emotions—deserves some serious reflection.
When you consider that roughly 70 percent of our bodies are made up of water, and that water is such a powerful carrier of information, what does that mean for how we as human beings are shaped and influenced? What does it mean when we leave the interpretation of water quality and structure to algorithms that recognize patterns we can’t even see, but whose values and motivations are often hidden?
Reflections on Awareness and Responsibility
I’m not saying it’s already happening, or that it will happen tomorrow, but it’s a cocktail of fragmented facts that should at the very least make us pause and think. Because if we leave the thinking to algorithms, corporations, and governments, we ultimately become both product and consumer. And if the last few decades have taught us anything, it’s that whenever we surrender our thinking, there’s always someone ready to profit from it—sometimes at our expense.
That’s why it’s so important to keep thinking for yourself, to keep feeling for yourself, and never to accept the fragmented picture that’s spoon-fed to us without question. The power of symbolism, fear-based media, and narratives is immense. So step out of your doomscrolling algorithm loop and pay attention to what’s happening in the world. These are things worth thinking about. These are things that need laws to protect us.
The more I thought about it, the more I reflected on how much water I drink myself—and how easily these kinds of things could happen without anyone noticing. That’s why awareness is so important.
People often say I think too much—or at least, that’s how it seems to them. And that makes me “crazy” or a misfit. But I’d rather be a so-called crazy who thinks for himself and refuses to swallow everything handed to me, than someone who mindlessly follows the crowd.
I still find it odd that so many people are so preoccupied with others—talking about them, judging them, bragging about what they’ve bought. But when it comes to talking about themselves, there’s often so little there—just complaints about the daily grind.
Ah well, everyone’s crazy in their own way. But wouldn’t it be wonderful if more people paused to reflect on things like this—and became aware of their own power and responsibility?
Call to Action
If this reflection resonated with you, consider subscribing to stay connected to more thoughts like these. Share this with anyone who might benefit from stepping out of the algorithm loop — because together, we can bring more awareness into the world.
Instead of getting lost in endless doomscrolling on Facebook or TikTok, why not spend some time reading research on quantum physics, learning about the hidden structures of power behind the scenes, and asking questions that matter? Let’s shift from passive consumption to conscious exploration — and become the kind of humans who shape the world with intention rather than being shaped by it.
