Well said! This is the first time I've given a standing ovation for a forum post.
Thank you. I am glad it resonated.
Yeah I pretty much agree with this, but
we do have a bit of hope.
Here goes once we invented the nukes and blew them up ⬆️ advanced kindly aliens noticed Earth and set the 1945-2024 mess in motion a few more year of the garbage ️ we are being fed will allow the vast majority of people to simply let the kindly superior aliens guide us to a better way of life.
1950s movie “the day the earth stood still” remade by Kenau Reeves comes to mind.
on the other hand my kids died so it is just me and the wife. I have lived to 67 and been with her for 39 years. If it all falls apart in under 10 years at least My kids won’t be fucked and I will have had a long good marriage as the world dies.
First of all, I am sorry with all my heart to hear about your children.
And I agree. There really is hope. Hope that as we see the great change (I mean it really is going to be a reset...) include pockets of people who opt out and wake up. And freedom tech built on top of the privacy offered by cryptography is one of our most powerful tools. I always respected the cypherpunks. And I could see a little of what they saw back then... but I had no idea how right they would end up. I sort of wonder if they even did. My post is dire, but i do believe we will see the forces of good make their own way in the world. What we will have to see before a big difference is made? In that regard I am somewhat afraid.
Kindly Aliens? A few years back I would think that is crazy talk... heh.
Oh one other mini rant... AI. lol. The things people are afraid of. Many crazy theories. What it will do in a nutshell: at least at first it will absolutely cement the reality that anything we see online, or just about anywhere aside from the ground we stand on is no better than a 50/50 chance of being totally fake. We are already seeing zillions of real things being called fake and fake things being called real. Now we basically cannot know. lol. There's the risk.
And one bonus thought. If this is the AI "they" (aliens? powers that be? dunno
) are allowing to come out into the public now... how long did they have it before? And what were they doing with it? And what kind do they have now?
