RE: Technocracy: Welcome To The Pseudo-Scientific Dictatorship
I have been saying similar for years now. I have watched cameras go up at street corners, they have tricked people into demanding listening devices for convenience in their own homes (Amazon/Google etc). Because surely it is a struggle to manually search for information or change a channel.
Website popups wanting me to give permission for my location to be known, alerts to be "pushed" to me. Years ago, my then stepchildren were using a Facebook app where you checked in and won some fake cyber prize as a reward the more you used it. Got to train them when they are young.
Unlike so many of the early adopters of crypto, it set off red flags for me. They have been wanting/discussing a cashless world since I was a young man, and crypto gives them that. Gives them the ability to spy on your every transaction once adopted fully, and more important, the ability to turn your money off either through a direct manipulation of the chain or more likely just by turning off the access to the internet. And the whole time they have us, as usual, paying for it by our purchase of the coins to fund the projects that speed up the processing.
Back to these street cameras. Who really owns them and how many are using face recognition software. I could go on but this all makes me sick as I don't know what an average man can do to put the brakes on any of this.
There are to many specially trained soldiers who are shortsighted enough to not understand they are as expendable to these power players as those they are aimed at. Not sure what the answer is.
Cryptocurrency isn't cashless... it's an alternative form of cash. With the blockchain it makes it impossible to spy unless you're trading multiple BTC at a time. Your transaction is just a part of a block containing multiple transactions... Picking out one would be virtually impossible. It would be like emptying out the change drawer at a large store and guessing which nickel was yours.
Not to mention that so many coins out there are privacy-driven... Zcash, Monero, Komodo, etc. There are plenty of ways to ensure your anonymity in the crypto-space. And as time goes along it will be harder and harder for those in charge to control the flow of money and/or information.
When you stop to think about tokenized encrypted communication, why wouldn't any of us want that in this age of creepy, Orwellian spying?
Amen to that... decentralization is the key! I just bought some EOS and also opened an encrypted email account.
And if you put the Social Credit System into the mix, which is currently being "tested" in China our outlook get's even more bleak. I'm not sure what the answer is either, but afraid it might be a "Brave New World"...
I know what the answer is... Unfortunately it involves bloodshed.
I don't think that that is an option anymore. They are waiting for it, the FEMA camps are ready. Their technology is overwhelming. The laws to enforce it already written. And it's a Hydra. You chop up one head and many grow back. Also I don't see a way to wake up the still sleeping masses. As long as they have a beer in the fridge, they are not going to do shit. There might be civil unrest eventually, when they realize what's going on. But by then, it will be too late. It already is...All that's left to do is to rock the sinking boat :)
