RE: Building Lifeboats: Are We Sailing Full Steem Ahead Towards A Global Financial Reset?
Fortunately, every piece involved is a double edged sword.
Sure, the internet is a way to monitor everyone, but it also allows everyone to talk to everyone else, so that the govern-cement can hide no lies.
Robotics is coming... and so people are worried about their jobs, but one step past that is, robots do all the work that people don't want to do, and humans do only what they want to do. Once a 3D printer is programmed to make a part, every 3D printer can make that part. It can't be stopped.
Bitcoin may be controlled, owned, by the people at the top, or it may be a group of freedom fighters who own all that bitcoin that has sat idle. BUT! bitcoin is just code, and you can fork it, or clone it any time you want. The banksters want to own the playing field, but if we realize that they are making unfair rules, we will just go create our own ballpark.
Unfortunately, it has to be this way. Every light casts a shadow.
Thank you for stopping by @builderofcastles
Yes I very much agree with you, in fact I have written fairly extensively about how I am very optimistic about the long-term future of humanity. Indeed, if the control system was as powerful as people think it is, then they wouldn't need to spend billions on propaganda and doublespeak that keeps us fearful and looking outwards for salvation. Equally, in the short term I think many people are going to be in for a rude awakening and that the control system is not simply going to gently pass into the night. When you begin to unravel the control mechanisms that have bound the world into servitude, when you begin to really understand it, you can begrudgingly see that this system is in effect a work of genius .. it might appear like a complete and utter disorganised mess, and on the ground floor it is.. but at the upper echelons it's worked very well to garner ever greater power and wealth into ever fewer hands and to insidiously reshape our very definitions of humanity, success and power .. this isn't a spell that will easily be undone and this isn't a control they will easily relinquish.
in terms of technology, I very much understand the nature of duality and how this manifests itself within the tech that is being created. Indeed, if as a species we can overcome our egoism, greed, narcissism and self-absorption then the future is very bright indeed. For me that is the lesson, the control system is pushing us to change .. whether it's a change for the better resides in how much we want it. As I ended the post.
This post was intended as words of warning, the direction they want to take us is not a statement of what will come to pass. That said, I feel the collective must awaken to what is before they can build what can be .. and in many ways, the vast majority of people are still jumping to the tune of the manipulator.
Again, I very much appreciate your take on tech and so will leave with a few words I wrote in a previous post that spoke to the duality of technology.
Thanks again my friend.
