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
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

The Renaissance was sparked because people felt that the Middle Ages were sick and corrupt and they needed to return to older simpler times to solve it.
That could also happen.
they want cities to have 5G transmitters every 100 feet––every stoplight would be rigged up essentially
for something nobody wants
they already have cameras at almost every stoplight at big cities, all they have to do is add the transmitter
It's not about want anymore but what makes most sense to science
"greater good" bullshit is heavy now
Because of this there is a strong backlash against real science
like sterilizing criminals or making them get abortions because their kids could possibly become criminals; minority report pre-crime
People like AOC with their junk science ruined the integrity of this country
yeah, real sick of the pseudo sciences
Because of AOC and her 12 year Apocalypse prediction conservatives won't take real climate science seriously
hah
You know which political leader was the first to speak out about climate change?
I bet it was someone old
