Anti Facts Sir Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 1 minute ago, Ergo Storm said: Technology can be a gift or a curse, and the two can be difficult to separate. Without information technology and the internet, a lot of us here would lack political literacy and understanding of what is going on and we would be ignorant like the majority. On the other hand, you have to ask: to what extent is Covid-19 actually an information virus and the result of the same technology that gives us this dividend of a democratic information society? My view is that technology should be adopted and used selectively to address needs, but I admit that there is an issue of what and how 'needs' are identified and defined, and by who. For instance, we have a need for the internet/web that I have just identified, but maybe most of us - myself certainly - did not start using it with that in mind. We only started using it as a way of addressing our curiosity about subjects. In my case, I am into astronomy, archaeology and wood and metal crafts and back in the 1990s I was a member of BBSs run by academics discussing astronomy and space subjects and various other obscure subjects and disciplines, including welding, Japanese woodcraft and lots of other things. That was when the internet was genuinely free, it was largely a thing for students and academics (which I never was - I stumbled into it accidentally), and the content was uncontrolled and interesting and nobody was self-conscious about it. It was a haven for weirdos, mavericks and outcasts, and it was good. Yet it wasn't a need that was being addressed - at least, not a need as such. For me, the genuine usefulness of the internet has only become clear in retrospect. It's a strange thing. It's almost like Fate chose me. I now realise that I have benefited by opening myself up to ideas and discussion with others and as a result, I have received a top-class, if haphazard, political education. Without that political education, I would be walking round in a mask and making an appointment for a first dose of demon juice. They say the internet is bad for you in the sense that any non-physical activity is bad for you - I'm not so sure. It may be bad for you in some ways, but it's good in others. It's revolutionary. It's amazing, astonishing, spectacular, almost-unbelievable. It's like somebody invented a Gutenberg press and coffee shops all-in-one and made it so that anybody with a high-spec telephone line and a few pound to spare each month can access virtually any idea and discussion of practically any topic, if they have the bent of mind to look for it. But I am selective about technology. On the topic of mobile phones specifically, I can't stand them and have never understood their attraction. A few years ago I reluctantly gave in and bought one, but I only use it to receive calls or as a fall-back in case I am stuck somewhere or have an emergency. Same with tablets/androids and these smart phones. Can't stand them. Don't see the point of them. Maybe this is partly why I have not bought into the Covid-19 hysteria? I am not 'plugged-in'. Or maybe it's the other way round and our personalities and inclinations select us? The internet/web seems like a useful innovation and I think a sane society would have it, albeit it would be confined to academics, scientists and hobbyists and what not; but mobile phones/tablets, etc., seem largely pointless, except in specialised situations, such as emergencies and rescue. In my opinion, they're a classic example of an invention searching for a need and most of the demand for them seems induced rather than addressing a genuine utility. I know this because I am old enough to remember the world without them and we all managed fine.

People survived without this stuff years ago, and they didn't all live in the woods. I agree that you can live a normal, sane life in an average suburban area without being fully part of the system. The approach I prefer, and the route I have taken, is 'one foot in, one foot out'. I am still part of the system, but also not part of it. I am both things. The main reason for this is pragmatism. I embarked on this roughly 10 years ago, without any practical skills, and realised that it would take many years of learning and training and reading, and I needed to be realistic. You don't just go and live in the woods by tomorrow morning, if ever, and it's irresponsible and counter-productive to tell people that is what they should do. However, I also realise that while I have been right about some things, I have been wrong about other things. My views were normie-ish, albeit at the fringes. I have never worn a mask and will not submit to the vaccine, but I saw the whole thing as a mistake and believed the virus to be real and that people had exaggerated its risks. I predicted the vaccinations would be made mandatory but not compulsory, and that is what has occurred so far, yet I am now starting to suspect that things may go further. I now realise there is an organised agenda, that the malignancy is deep, and only just beginning. This means that, as far as I am concerned, everything is on the table now: even living in the woods. But I repeat, as the Scouts rightly say: Be Prepared. Edited August 3, 2021 by Ergo Storm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying they're not both a danger, just that smart phones are the bigger danger. If California is anything to go by, then they'll crack down on you building your own desktop too, all in the name of consumption. Then we're trapped in closed system devices, like phones, tablets, and games consoles. They know it's harder to modify those than a desktop. They fizzle children’s brains and adults that play them are weird too. Can’t see why a grown adult would spend their time on those things. But each to his own. I don’t think it’s a very strong argument pitting two things against each other that you acknowledge are both bad but ones more bad than the other and yet calling for everyone to dump the one you see as worse.

You could say the same about the TV goblin that is sitting in most peoples living rooms, and people have been playing games for millennia, but the point isn't about gaming, it's about closed systems, and tablets and phones are just like consoles in that aspect. I still have a smart phone, and I'm not judging you, but I won't pretend they're not problematic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YES Most people have already had them - so we are told!!! If people wake up based on having the jab and getting a reaction or two or three or if they suddenly have an epiphany, then YES it will mean future refusals. You mean refuse to wear a mask? The elites aren't really bothered about that - I think its a tool they use that has been effective...but many are now refusing to wear. What are you going to do about the digital currency coming that they will get you to pay for things by swiping your smart phone? PRESUMPTIONS - I dont have a 'Smart phone' - as for digital currency it will only help push people towards other ways to live... and that is a story that could be endless. what about the 5G system that will assimilate peoples smart phones? For as long as you have a smart phone there is a market for 5G wifi.... wont affect me...but eventually people will make new choices or be content in the misery. Same as always has happened...but that is not what we are talking about. We are talking about resistance. There are many ways to resist and to survive. What are you going to do about the smart grid that is being increased everytime someone buys a smart phone or a smart Tv or a smart car or meter etc? - I'm not about to become part of a 'matrix' and again...this is why resistance needs to increase...by way of increasing the pushback. are you going to exercise 'non compliance' and get rid of all the smart devices in your life? I have no Smart phone no.....you aren't really going to non comply with their system. Really you are going to keep going along with it in many ways and that's why it will keep growing... Stop the passive aggression and holier than thou attitude... we are not here as your peons to be condescending to. You have provided no fantastic solution so why act like you have? I have no Smart phone - you dont know me...so quit with the attempt to demoralize. Its not working! Bang on mate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been weaponised against us. It comes down to dicipline as well. This is freedom in a way. But it gets complex because human suggestability could come into play and free will with all these algorithyms knocking about. Its easy to get a serotonine hit these days whereas the human isn't really evolved for that sort of simulation. If you are constantly pleasuring yourself you become less empowered and ultimately depressed. In the wild you would need to hunt and go through pain. It still applies in our society i.e going through pain and experiencing discomfort, stress and what not. There has been lots of studies done and people from silicoln valley have even admitted they have created a beast with social media some intentionally designed as a buisness and to get you hooked and some employees unintentially. Its like a casino. People scroll for that rush of dopamine. Even the colours, the red notifications are designed subconciously to give you a rush and signify danger. A lot of dicipline is needed. But i think little steps rather than perfection should be something we strive for. Only you know within yourself if it is having an unhealthy impact on you. Its something we all should at least think about on this side of the fence seeing what the msm has done to the masses in regards to the plandemic.

Does not mean I’m going to integrate myself to the WWW or smart grid. I wouldn’t have a smart metre. Me too. People who lump everyone into one group ie smartphone gazing zombies, just come across as self righteous, self opinionated etc. Bragging about how superior they are because they’ve never had a smart phone etc. Wish they’d get over themselves. My phone is my only means of connecting to the net, getting information; and buying goods I can’t get wherever I end up. For the most part it is off; I don’t do social media, never have. I don’t give two fucks what these self righteous people say; but they do go on. Just as people who go on and on about trying to ‘tell people the truth’ but get abused for it etc; don’t do it then, simple. There are many other ways to get info out there. We don’t need martyrs, and we don’t need division; let people do things their own way; it will turn out ok - or not. Doesnt matter in the long run; it’s just a ride. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easy when it's light but when night falls the mind can play tricks. Part of the problem is I think we've all become too soft. We should have been living with nature more closely from the start, even with all our comforts and technological advances. It is a physical and spiritual disconnect, and we have made ourselves weak sitting ducks because we cant defend ourselves if our "masters" decide to pull the plug on what we have come to rely on. Modern man just has no idea how to survive and is now at the mercy of corporate demons. An aboriginal will outlast the richest, it will all come down to skills and understanding of what nature provides. Not saying we have to follow the vids below, but a resistance to AI and the takeover of nature and humanity is going to be something we will all have to think about if we are going to survive. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
