Not all models are scalable. People look at the past 250 years and assume that bigger/fancier/newer is inevitable if not better. But just because a pattern works up to a point does not mean that it will continue forever. Nothing lasts forever for one thing. For another, things cannot continue to grow at a certain rate with no limits.
Insects do not grow to the size you see in horror movies. Ants have great strength for their sizes thanks to their exoskeletons. But blow one up to the size of a bus and gravity combined with its shell would keep the creature from moving. No longer an overpowered monster to be reckoned with even if perfect math keeps the proportions identical to a normal sized ant.
Our current technology with impending advances is no longer progress for humanity. We are sicker, dumber, and lonelier than people were 80 years ago. I am not saying things were perfect then by any means. Just that they are worse now and going to get even worse quite soon.
Big Ag, Big Pharma, Big Tech. Even if you opt out of these, they affect you. You will wind up alone since “everyone else” uses them constantly.
I know some older people—born in the fifties—who act like zombies now. Both take every vaccine put out and every pill the doctor suggests. They complain of exhaustion and have taken no interest in anything after the first or second mRNA booster. They eat lots of processed foods and watch screens all day. TV or SM on phones. They no longer talk at dinner time but keep the TV going constantly since Covid lockdowns.
No vaccine but my own health has taken a plunge since 2020. I had been hoping to go out and make something of my life. But I’m not strong enough physically for what lies ahead and I’m alone. My parents are declining and just don’t seem to care about anything or listen to my “conspiracy theories” anymore.
My own life was already messed up thanks to Big Pharma. High inflammation, no gainful employment, never got a driver’s license, few friends. Leaving mental health meant ditching the closest thing to a support system I had aside from my extended family.
Those of us in the know need to be doing something. AI is just about stealing intellectual property making it impossible to earn anything by doing something creative online. And it will surveil us. UBI will be like SSI for those crippled by psychiatry.
The technocrats are creepy sadists. They see us as insects for them to entertain themselves with by pulling us to pieces ever so slowly. Heaven help you and your precious children if you are forced to rely on what passes for the tender mercies of Bill Gates and his ilk. (Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Thiel are also bad guys. Too many imagine Trump and whoever kisses his ring is a good guy. Not so.)
Unfortunately, I know of no way to meet up with others. It has to be offline.
We must have ways to communicate and connect without their internet instead of complaining how they keep censoring us on the platforms we know they control. We need to find alternatives to their education and medical systems instead of complaining how the poison and propaganda should be freebies from the government. Instead of complaining how corporations won’t pay decent wages we need to start and support small businesses for little people.
Sorry, this text is so disjointed and incoherent. My brain fog is really bad thanks to Herxheimer reaction and vitamin depletion.
Here’s a video by Pat Wood about technocracy in a nutshell. Please note that both political parties are in this together.
I like your intelligence and passion. Speed kills ---even in communication. My thought is we are hooked on instant and the relative instant. Be Here Online Now. Imagine Jonesing for a 12 month. No keyboard, no internet, just you, and paper, writing with pen or machine No? Then ask if you can go 6? Personally I think for me a week. :) LOL
I have only just started following you and feel a connection .
Thankyou
