Forget the power of technology and science, for so much has been forgotten, never to be re-learned.
Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim darkness of the far future there is only war.
There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting gods.
Let's just say that all of the last few "technological advances" mankind has made are paid subscription services, microtranscations in video games, AI-generated artwork, AI-generated text, "stay at home" measures and censorship algorithms.
None of these which are benefitting people to begin with, but they give the elite plenty of negative energy to remain virtually immortal.
They say we are getting 1984 and Brave New World...I laugh at them. We are getting Warhammer 40k on a grounded scale.
By your logic the Internet would had been made people and youth more vapid and narcissistic even before cellphones came out and it's all free speech, flash animations and weird seizure websites. The point is that the "technological advancements" we had SINCE the Cellphone had been literally nothing but things intended to take money and property off people and make them suffer.
You assume a lot. I was on the Internet in the beginning before social media, it was beautiful and wild now it's been weaponized. I believe history has demonstrated many times that eventually technological advancements are used by the powerful as a tool of control. I think right now you can consider the tech they're developing as a very large multiple continent forest fire and if we don't control it, it will burn everything
Yes I agree, but Social Media was there by the "beautiful and wild" days (Facebook was there in 2006 and Twitter was there in 2009 and they aren't very explicitly oppressive groups during those days), it's UN policies and the 2016 ICANN sellout that weaponize it.
But now we have exclusively technological advancements that have no purpose other than being a tool of control and loosh harvesting, and the last one that wasn't exclusively used for that purpose is the cellphone, which is a decade ago. This is VERY different from a subverted technological advancement e.g. Internet, Television or photography.
For example, cellphones can be used to let you experience the "wild" internet even when you're not seated on the desktop assuming the institutions running the gamut are still honest organizations (which they are anything but now). Patreon subscriptions, "Gacha" and "DLC" in video games and censorship algorithms, on the other hand have zero purpose and zero benefits other than control and confiscating people's sense of self.
Nah. By 2008 the Internet was a shell of what it was in 2000. The sad part is people have come to rely on something they do not fundamentally understand or have any semblance of control over. This is by design I think social media and everything that has come after serves to identify the "useless eaters" It may serve multiple purposes at the moment, to give people an artificial view of the world and to impose literally impossible standards on an agreeable population. Every day that goes by people become more reliant upon a weapon in their enemies hands. Burn it all down pookie we're losing our collective humanity seeking the validation of strangers while being sold shit we don't need
In 2008 people don't kill you over slight misagreements. Physical mind control is here but not spiritual mind control (since Cern haven't released the daemons yet).
The internet is still a net negative for humanity but it's much better overall than the smartphone. It's a DARPA military project after all. It's the biggest psy-op weapon ever created.
