"You had to live – did live, from habit that became instinct – in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every moment scrutinized."

Dude writes about this shit in 1949, receives critical acclaim, and then society walks right into it anyway. Think about this a lot, pretty sure it was unavoidable. Freedom tech provides solutions but there will be many painful repercussions of slavery tech before most realize the need.

just like people dont realize freedom of speech still now...some will never.

Huxley was closer to the mark than Orwell

Makes me think of the book of Exodus when the Israelites were led out of slavery from Egypt by Moses.

They get to the Red Sea and set up camp and then the Egyptians changed their mind and pharaoh was coming after them.

The Israelites then turned to Moses, after having complained much already, and said “why oh why did you take us from slavery in Egypt? At least there we had 3 meals instead of here where we will die in the desert.”

Conclusion: most people would rather die in peaceful slavery than with dangerous freedom.

So true, brother. The human condition.

Sadly true.

George Orwell's words from "1984" were remarkably prescient, and it's fascinating how we find ourselves facing some of those challenges today.

Sadly 99% don't care for "freedom tech". They never have, and they never will. The past 3 years prove this.

If they buy "BTC" at all they will do in the form of a BlackRock IOU and get rekt.

Yup. I’ve found this to be the case as I talk to normie family/friends about the current events.

“What do we do,” they ask.

“Utilize the tools at hand like bitcoin or Nostr,” I say.

“Oh that’s not real money. And Twitter works just fine. Elon is all for freedom of speech.”

So tiresome… so tiresome… 🤦‍♂️

I am sure 99% just don‘t recognize BTC as “freedom tech” because they don’t know how it works, because they didn’t read all those books that we read and listen to all those shows as we did. It took me 2-3 years to grasp the full “freedom” aspect. We have to teach them.

just the next level of shitcoin ecosystem 😢

As long as greed is greater than the desire for education, there will be crap like this

I still don't know how humanity is so blind. Ahhhhh geeeee. Scary to me (pandi compliance flashbacks and what it can do smhhh)

Wild. And even if people convince themselves it’s benign and a good solution to identity (it’s not)… why link it to this shitcoin. Bitcoin and nostr solve all the same problems but keep them separate, which is a good thing.

Watching this reminds of when horror movies play music to a scene that just doesn’t fit. Like happy music is playing in the background when something horrifying is on screen.

That’s exactly what we just saw. Intense, exciting music, giving you the feeling that, “the future is here and now! Join this movement!” All the while the freedom loving degenerates are mortified at what we just watched.

I would argue they are the degenerates. l

Ya, I agree. Just using their words for us lol. Like my nym!

There is freedom tech and there is also walking away. I spent three years living off grid without electricity to see if I had what it took. Refrigeration of farm produce & Bitcoin was the only reason to connect to technology.

Wen crowdfund bounty to destroy the orbs

I consider these orbs as legitimate targets.

Do you think worldcoin would have received nearly as much press if Altman wasn’t associated with the project?

They've convinced the masses to willingly board the cattle cars for a handful of worthless tokens. It should be called slavecoin.
