“I Enter the Cor­ri­dor” is the title of a col­lec­tion of texts with which an alleged author—male or female, though likely a whole col­lec­tive of mali­cious subversives—is attempt­ing to spread a dan­ger­ous intel­lec­tual virus via the inter­net.

Con­sciously, after the repet­i­tive “I enter the cor­ri­dor,” the read­er’s mind per­ceives only a more or less well-con­structed short story, which often loses itself in incom­pre­hen­si­bil­ity or non­sense and usu­ally lacks a proper punch­line. This is likely inten­tional, because sub­lim­i­nally, the mind absorbs some­thing else entirely dur­ing the read­ing process: The mantra-like rep­e­ti­tion of “I enter the cor­ri­dor” cre­ates a pro­gres­sively nar­row­ing tun­nel vision. Read­ers become par­tic­u­larly sus­cep­ti­ble to mes­sages below the thresh­old of con­scious­ness, con­veyed through hid­den arche­typal key­words.

On the sur­face, the mes­sage of the “I Enter the Cor­ri­dor” texts appears to be an ironic, post­mod­ern play with tropes. In real­ity, how­ever, anti-cap­i­tal­ist and anti-sci­en­tis­tic ideas—so-called “pluridi­men­sional” and thus essen­tially occult ideologies—are sur­rep­ti­tiously trans­mit­ted, sub­ject­ing read­ers to a form of insid­i­ous brain­wash­ing. “I Enter the Cor­ri­dor” imper­cep­ti­bly opens the door to a men­ac­ing ide­ol­ogy, Cor­ri­dorism, which ulti­mately leads to para­noia and the delu­sion that con­spir­a­cies are every­where, and which, in all like­li­hood, ends in a com­plete shat­ter­ing of the nerves.
