@GreenFire Allow me to insert a shameless plug to a past where I tried my absolute hardest to steer people in a direction away from this future. To be clear, I wanted a much shinier present.

It seemed obvious, to me, that the advent of social media would amplify the degree to which freedom had been taken for granted.

We didn't have the money for polished production, and Summerfest preferred that our songs sound more like our Beatles variety, not the Henry Rollins meets Joe Jackson kind in our bag.

Now, everyone has access to their "very own agent" tied to a platform, and I have to pay the price for it. Huh?

Truth doesn't sell well, and virtually nobody believes something they can't see, except those that believe in a god that only looks after their "followers."

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@GhostOnTheHalfShell they're coming to your town, they'll help you cage it down, they're a, "Hey, big brother!"

@hkrn At least he's saying the "energy" piece out loud for all to hear.

"We will quickly lose even the social permission to take something like energy, which is a scarce resource, and use it to generate these tokens, if these tokens are not improving health outcomes, education outcomes, public sector efficiency, private sector competitiveness, across all sectors, small and large, right?"

'Scarce resource,' used for unnecessary shit, that no one asked for, to make themselves even richer, burning through the Earth's future because humans aren't using their own God given energy. Instead, robbing the planet to cheat time in order to get ahead. Maybe it's time to pull the plug on equity extortion and stop calling it efficiency?

The Final Grift.

@iinac @ChrisMayLA6 I'm pretty sure Europe would like to build their own "smart bubble" to encapsulate their people with, rather than being a part of the US or China version of the Truman Show. Stuck between a rock and a hard place, most countries just want an easy path to more riches. Those closest to the deal makers benefit the most, while everyone else forgets about history playing with their new gadgets.
