Both will become parallel worlds.

Not Sure: Why are we slowing down?

Imagine the state being able to make smart cars lose power, and automatically pull over.
This is where we are.

💯 possible. Another trap..add CBDC and 🐑 are cooked.
LFG! That would be the best outcome MAD MAX. Count me in ✊🏼.
You get it when you "need to know".
In contemporary discourse, it is increasingly posited that states and governments globally are engaged in a profound conflict with their citizenry. This assertion holds substantial veracity, particularly in the context of the monumental shift from the industrial and analog eras to the digital and cyber eras. This transition signifies an unprecedented metamorphosis of our world, beginning with the dissemination of information and extending to the nature of human relationships. However, the most consequential transformation lies within the financial system, which is evolving from traditional cash to a cashless paradigm, ultimately culminating in the implementation of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs).
The drive to dominate cyberspace, control the cyber financial system, and manipulate the cyber information and social network systems necessitates a state of perpetual conflict. Individuals harnessing these digital tools and leveraging the vast reservoirs of knowledge empowered by artificial intelligence systems are perceived as threats to the state's hegemony. Consequently, the state is compelled to suppress freedom of speech and systematically dismantle democratic institutions to retain control over this nascent cyber territory before it can be fully appropriated by the populace.
Historically, this struggle for control is not without precedent. The invention of the printing press catalyzed the Reformation, disseminating knowledge and ideas that undermined the monopolistic grip of the Church on information. Similarly, the advent of the internet revolutionized communication and commerce, decentralizing information and empowering individuals in ways previously unimaginable. The emergence of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies represents a contemporary parallel, challenging the traditional financial systems and state-controlled monetary policies.
In this historical context, the current transition to a digital and cyber era echoes past technological revolutions, each characterized by an initial period of state resistance followed by eventual adaptation or transformation. The thesis, therefore, posits that the current geopolitical and philosophical conflict is an intrinsic part of the broader evolutionary trajectory of human society. As the state endeavors to exert control over the burgeoning digital landscape, it faces inevitable resistance from individuals and collectives empowered by these very technologies. This dialectic will shape the future of human governance, freedom, and democracy in the digital age.
They are at war with us THE PEOPLE. This is the most unthinkable thing to process and accept but this are facts...and that is WORLDWIDE.
Those are words of Balaji, I shared them here..but I agree 💯 with him on this.
It’s simple: Democrats are intentionally destroying democracy. They all knew Biden was infirm. But they waited till after the primary to acknowledge someone would need to succeed him. They waited till the people no longer had any say in who the Party would nominate. In other words, they waited till there wasn’t any shred of democracy involved in picking the leader of the Democrat Party.
What they want instead is a one-party state like California, where “elections” are held but a Party member always wins. They want intra-party selection, not competitive multiparty election. This is why Democrats seek to jail the opposition — so they can run without opposition. And this is also why they seek to control the Internet — so that the Internet doesn’t threaten their control.
All the Party really wants is to steal money and give it to their loyalists. That’s what the millions in student loans and billions for nonfunctional trains and trillions in printed bills are all about — the greatest robbery in history. They just want the public's money, they don’t want the public to have any say over whether they're in power.

The Journey of Critical Thinking: Peeling Away the Layers of Ignorance
Embarking on the journey of critical thinking often feels like delving into a rabbit hole, where one must peel away layers upon layers of ignorance. This ignorance is largely imposed by a current system characterized by a flawed and broken economic network and a fiat currency system, all centrally planned and governed by central banks and planners.
As one progresses through this journey, it becomes apparent that the entire educational system, throughout one’s life, contributes to these layers of ignorance. This system, instead of fostering true understanding, tends to compound these layers, making the process of shedding them long and arduous.
The path to critical thinking is thus a demanding endeavor, requiring persistent effort to strip away the misconceptions and falsehoods ingrained by an education system that often prioritizes conformity over genuine insight.

Fellow artist here! Artist and producer.
With Nostr and apps like nostr:npub1yfg0d955c2jrj2080ew7pa4xrtj7x7s7umt28wh0zurwmxgpyj9shwv6vg I’ve found a place to share my music, own my content, and earn sats in the process. I’ve found a place where I can also directly support other artists without any third parties involved or predatory record labels in between.
With Nostr I not only own my content but my profile and social graph too. If I don’t like Primal, I can take my profile, my followers, everyone I’m following, and my content to another app. I’m free to choose where I build, and no one can take it away. That’s a big deal.
Finally, with Nostr you have access to Bitcoin, the hardest money we’ve discovered. You can use it to earn, zap and support others directly peer to peer, save for the future, or even send money abroad to friend and family.
I’m not a dev, and I’m also looking for more artists and creators here to kick off the next iteration of the creator economy. ⚡️⚡️
Lfg! Welcome.
Yeah..It's obvious and obscene.
I wouldn't be surprised. It's endless tax payers funds behind this...let them milk the cow a bit more.
Funny because during his speech he mentioned his close collaborator Morello from Rage Against the Machine.
I don't trust any of stadium multi million music live acts, bands and performers. My theory is that everyone who gets to those level of "deals" is controlled by the system in one way or another. They must have been doing that since the flower power music revolt. We will learn more about it I have a feeling. May be some of club 27 deaths were not simply overdoses..who knows.
When hip-hop stands up to support American government that is sponsoring and enabling both the Genocide committed by Nazi Israeli state and war in Ukraine 🇺🇦 then you know that it is really time to opt out of the broken system. For me it is straight betrayal of principles and foundation of what Chuck D and Public Enemy represented. Now they're sell outs and the speech that Chuck gave to support this move was some of the biggest bullshit I ever heard.
R.I.P Public Enemy and have fun going to hell with your enabler Blinken. 
That could be a very objective test how censorship resistant and truly decentralized it is. Great idea and very inline with #bitcoin standard that Assange embraced years back it seems. ✊🏼
