Dear reader!
I'm feeling good, nothing special happened, but today is a good day. The week was very introspective and writing this long text about coping with modern life was very cool.
I'm currently wondering about the AI+IoT+globalism takeover and how scary but amazing it could be.
Terrifying:
- Huge paradigm shift
- No more work
- No more ownership
Amazing:
- Literally all information at your fingertips (diy a home!)
- Waste reduction
- More free time
What do you guys think about the future? Is it bright? or is it dark?

dark in the near term, and I can't say much about the long term, but I am hopeful for it. I don't think things can go on like they are indefinitely, so eventually, there'll be major pushback that brings things back to something resembling normal or ideal.
If you care in the slightest about freedom, truth, or privacy - it'll be a living nightmare. Constant, unescapable surveillance. Your rights will be determined by how well you fit into the government's idea of the model citizen. I expect them to get rid of online anonymity too. If they can convince enough people to implant a chip in their brain, perhaps to enjoy a new virtual reality technology, you can be sure they'll start messing directly with their thoughts.
Then there's the depopulation agenda... the best case scenario is that they'll just make us all sterile. This is already happening, mainly through the use of xenoestrogen chemicals that are so widespread, they're virtually impossible to avoid. Sperm counts have been dropping for decades, and nobody seems interested in doing something about it. But they may still decide that this method is too slow, and speed it up a bit...
Fuck man, I do care about all those things. It's really weird living this present.
