Most people donāt realize it anymore because itās so ubiquitous, but advertisement is everywhere. Open a newspaper: thereās your ad for the latest toilet bowl cleaner. Go out into the street: there isnāt a square inch of any city in the world that isnāt covered by commercial signage. Turn on the radio: you get your 3 1/2 minute songs interspersed with 10 minutes commercials.
Even here in northern Finland where I live, you get to drive on empty roads in the middle of the forest with no houses in sight for miles around in the winter night, and youāre constantly bombarded with intense light from roadside LED billboards. The place is so remote I donāt even know where those billboards get power from, and the population so sparse theyāre hardly seen by anyone. Yet some creepy marketing fucks decided they were worth installing, to try and brainwash the very last human beings who may not have been exposed yet.
The brain clutter is intense, relentless and inescapable. Itās madderning to those who are aware of it and try to escape it. Advertisers are the scourge of humanity and need to die a fiery death, Iām telling ya.
Rosco,
I suspect youād enjoy the Black Mirror episode called 15 Million Merits. The entire apartment walls are covered in screens 24/7 and you have to pay to skip the relentless commercials.
I love how the outside world thinks we as biohackers donāt realise what our tech could be used for in money-hungry hands. āoh but if you can pay with your chip they will be able to track youā etc. but they donāt realise the things companies already do, as amal said in a recent podcast interview āUnless you donāt own a bank account and pay for everything in cash, companies are already able to track you, and even then facial security has become more widespreadā there is no extra incentive for them to make a mandatory chip, they already have well-working ways of tracking people.
not to sound edgy but we live in a tech-dominated society that uses personal information as a currency, we pay for our āfreeā services and luxuries via our information (Facebook, credit cards, etc)
it seems to always be the ones who are ignorant to this, who worry about āThe new world orderā in terms of companies and tech.
You know how the paranoids have said for years - and still say - that they would never get chipped because it would allow the government to track them far too easily?
I kinda was in that group, until I realized the government - or Big Data, more worryingly - donāt need no chip to track you anymore: they have biometrics and the metadata you constantly produce.
Thatās part of the reasons why I decided to get my first implant: itās a much more anonymous way of identifying myself to machines than biometrics. And it can be reprogrammed or destroyed, unlike biometrics. Yes! In todayās world, a chip is a tool for anonymity. How strange is that eh?
The paranoids need to realize DT is a friend, not an enemy because DT sells chips they have control over - as opposed to a hypothetical forced guvment chip. Also, the more DT chips they implant themselves, the less space there is left in their hands for the guvment chip - or the more crosstalk there will be to disrupt said guvment chip
Yeah, thatās all true.
There is no need and no incentive to implant chips to track the population when you can already do that through so many other means.
And if there ever was any forced implantment programme the people would violently revolt in half a second. This way, it just flies under their radar.
What makes me worry a lot more than that - people actually are aware of it. I can tell them that the data they spread around the world is used, sold, whatever, that they can easily be tracked, that those fucking facbook algorithms shape their very opinion and all that. And they just donāt care. The comfort all those āsmartā things offer is so tempting that the disadvantages are simplyā¦ irrelevant.
Most people whom I tell that some companies (or governments, or whatever) might know a freakin lot about them simply tell me āI donāt care, cause Iāve got nothing to hideā. Surveillance cams everywhere? āDoesnāt matter to me, cause Iām not a criminalā. They are well aware of all that shit, and they just donāt careā¦
That reminded me of a video I watched a last week, about junk mail in the USA. All I could think about was the fact that unless itās a delivery of a package or letter from the government, I can go weeks or even months without getting anything through my letterbox.
The few times Iāve gotten some junk mail, addressed to āresidentā. I check if there is a return address then remove mine with some rubbing alcohol, if the paper stock is laminated and can hold up to it, then fire it back in the letterbox.
Itās cheaper to send junk mail then regular mail here also. If you go to the US post page you can see all the routes in an area you want to target. If you choose to have a carrier drop your junk in every mailbox in their route you get a huge discount.
Iām sure we have all heard this Snowden gem:
āArguing that you donāt care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you donāt care about free speech because you have nothing to say.ā
Yep, thatās a fine oneā¦ people just donāt get it. It might be true that, at least in Germany, many of the informations are not ādangerousā if spread, because itās currently a pretty free country. But things like this can change very fast, and suddenly it can become quite a trouble if you visited gay porn sites a bit too often. Or downloaded the TOR-browser. Or took part in political discussions. Of all people, germans should know best how fast a political system can change to the worst.
Fuel, paper, inkā¦ itās so annoying that theyāre basically producing junk, literallyā¦ but hey, Iāve heard that there are several people in the US who claim that climate change and other stuff has nothing to do with mankind, soā¦
The āMicrochipped or frequencies, mindreadingā¦ā thread has been suprisingly quiet the last few months.
Especially considering the whole Bill Gates vaccine microchiping 5G coronavirus conspiracy theory. I half expected it to blow up from incoming traffic. Anyone know what is up with that?
I see my EM interference generator has disrupted their functional cortex, thus inhibiting their cognitive and/or motor function and reducing their effectiveness to zero.
