I believe truth is played out in movies for the general public to think its a fairy tale.

Hello lam how are you doing

Looks cool but makes no sense

Wouldn't displacement spill all the water out

water is constantly running of the side

@Hamburger Guy order 66 and the hunt for jedi in star wars is symbolic for the catholic inquisition when they hunted down the "heretical" gnostics, which sent many proto-christians into exile; rome basically representing the transformation from republic to empire

Cool

The republic was corrupt itself

yeah, prequel-era jedi acted as a shadow government with a council of "enlightened" individuals (illuminati)

tbh i'm afraid trump is playing palpatine with the US

biggest fear being him declaring war with iran so that he remains in office long enough to enact martial law (order 66)

I meant the Roman republic but ok

Iran would be Afghanistan times 10

I wrote a Quora answer on this let me find it

Cant find it but either way I'm in agreement

yeah, US has been having same problems as Rome unironically, like lead in the drinking water. I think Trump brought back a lot of troops in preparation for Iranian deployment too

Politicians and lawyers are the Catholic priests of today, having a monopoly on information through their jargon

evolution of power: church→state→big business

information being practically digital oil for corporate overlords

I agree with you on data being 'digital oil'

Eh

not with your understanding of power though

Judt a nitpick but

Nvm

there is nothing ethical about selling people's data

but it seems to be the primary currency online

I worked in 'big data' and it's hard to look back and think it was good in any way

@RidleyChozo 5G would make our society technocratic, and all appliances hooked up to that grid would keep track of usage/stats/data

I wonder if future generations won't be as threatened with digital privacy

literally what they were saying they wanted to do

future generations probably won't care because they won't know a world with privacy like we did

I once read that when the car was first popularized people were terrified of giant motor engines zooming down the road next to where they stand. Clearly today we dont have the same fear.

we accept it today

manufactured consent

Or maybe I'm wrong and the future will have a violent Revolution

it's hard to just take a walk around the city

dude imagine seeing a tank for the first time in ww1

you get boxed in by traffic
