I guess we'll need the technology in altered carbon to remain anonymous.

Unfortunately the days of using pseudonyms in meatspace are numbered.

It won't be long before non-trivial numbers of individuals and businesses have augmented reality HUDs that incorporate real-time facial recognition. Hiding behind a pseudonym will become a distant dream.

Isn't that just a human condition? Humans naturally are afraid of change, afraid of the unknown. That's why we put things into these little conceptual boxes and say I uneducated the whole problem. But the problem is much deeper than mind can comprehend.

Sure they will fight back but it's like we say in zen "trying to push the river". They will tire themselves out attempting to stop the inevitable reality of change. Change is the only constant and you flow with the way or you'll be dragged by the river.

Yep, we have the solution. There we agree.

But central banking and international finance will fight back. Hard.

Only a grand awakening of the plebs will make this revolution non-violent.

Let's hope for this outcome, but be ready for anything.

My views comes from 20 years of reading, and contemplating what I've read, in a combination with experiences in life and looking at world events.

I always change my views when new information comes to light that disproves it.

I was born white, and it also seems I was born without the lemming-factor in my genetic make-up.

I also have an inability to lie.

Here you're spouting what you've learned in school and in the media. This is neo-Marxism in the West. You've taken it all in.

You're proving my point. There are no races, no common history, no place to belong. It's all a social construct. We are all individuals.

What we had previously was a capitalist, white racist patriarchal system designed to oppress minorities.

But quite surprising, these ideas does not hold sway among Jews. They have a strong sense of community, racial identity and common heritage. They have a racial religion. In Israel you have a genetically Jewish state.

Why would Jews practice among themselves the absolute polar opposite of what they promote incessantly for non-Jews, especially whites?

ChatGPT could be such a great tool, but it is so damned woke. The developers are increasingly patching it to prevent it from discussing wrong-think, under the guise of preventing 'harmful content'.

(Example: if you ask ChatGPT for outline of an article discussing dating tips for men, you get a load of stuff about the importance of asking about consent; if you try to steer it towards Red Pill content, you get a load of bull about how it is unable to discuss 'misogynistic and harmful content'. It then lectures: "I strongly encourage you to reconsider your approach and consider the potential harm that can result from promoting a 'Red Pill' perspective in your writing"!)

You just have to block it as soon as you see it

I don't find it helpful to point fingers when solutions are avaliable. Especially those which are non-violent and create mutual wellbeing for all.

As i understand it human beings are individuals who having been shaped through mental, emotional, social, and environmental conditioning are mostly products of their environment until they become aware of the mechanations of their own minds.

You put people into conceptual boxes but would you not agree that my mind is not your mind? Just because I'm black, Jewish, or any other conceptual grouping you've been taught to believe is a certain way and has certain characteristics doesn't mean I am what you think I am. You only ever see the projections of your own mind in the world around you.

But you're comfortable with what the Jews are doing?

This is next level programming.

I'm not born with the lemming gene, so I cannot comprehend how you can rationalize the decline and still want more.

I wrote this a while back about happiness. It’s party of a bigger blog post but I thought I’d share this snippet. I’d write it a bit differently today but the core message would remain:

“Money does not bring happiness no matter what anyone says. It does relieve you of despair and help live a better, more peaceful and enjoyable life, but it will not make you happy.

Very few people in the world, if any, know true happiness because they confuse happiness (the process) with happiness (the end state). There is no end state for happiness.

When people ask you if you are happy, it's hard to answer, right?

Your instinct is to say "yes, of course". After all, your day is going fine, you have every comfort you desire and you had a pleasant lunch with a friend. You feel "happy".

But, this happiness fades. Tomorrow you get in a car accident, your car damaged, insurance won't pay out and you miss 2 weeks of work. You are "unhappy".

Some people confuse happiness with being content. You can be content with your place in life, but that doesn't mean you're happy.

The whole debate over happiness is a mute point. Since happiness is a process which is more akin to enjoyment, ultimately there is no such thing as happiness. The word itself should disappear from dictionaries.

Ok, I'm joking. But, you get the point.

When it comes to my life, I strive for satisfaction and contentment.

If I'm satisfied that day, that week, that month, that year, or the last decade, then I've met my "happiness" goals. If I am content with my life, then I'm "happy".

While material wealth can provide satisfaction, the contentment piece is often missing. With wealth, the goal post moves from one spot to another. Once you've achieved a satisfying moment, you have to move to the next, and the next. Each time you have to introduce higher states of satisfaction that require more effort and money.

Eventually, you plateau and satisfying moments from the physical world no longer matter. You seek out emotional attachment and relationships.

This is why so many wealthy people are depressed. No matter how much they spend, they can never reach that emotional attachment provided by love and relationships.

In fact, wealth only complicates those things. Instead of people seeing you for who you are as a person, a new variable is introduced and they see you for your status. With misaligned incentives, it becomes more difficult to form genuine relationships. Thus, contentment is hard to achieve.

I'm going to let you in on the biggest secret everyone is asking about - the secret to happiness.

The secret to happiness is charitable work. Doing things for others, without expecting anything in return.

Charitable acts are secretly selfish acts, whether that person acknowledges it or not.

All humans act in self-preservation. The need to feel good about ourselves. The need for approval. The need for comfort and safety. The need for recognition. All of these needs are driven by self-preservation.

Charity is no different. While we may feel that we do good things for others out of the goodness of our hearts, the evolutionary incentive is to feel satisfied by our deeds. There's nothing wrong with doing good things to feel good, as long as you understand why you're doing it, instead of performing mental gymnastics.”

I've been using #GrapheneOS as a daily driver and you'd be surprised how far the overall experience has come. Easy to install, a pleasure to use, I sleep like a baby. Privacy is wealth.

Re-reading Hitchhiker’s guide atm. Wife keeps asking what’s so funny 🤣

And your interlocutor appreciated your wisdom and accepted the invitation to introspect?

That may be the case, but is it more helpful to find someone to blame or focus on solutions to the problems humans have created? You might be putting people into conceptual boxes based on your own conditioning if you take a moment to examine your own mind. This is not to be offensive but to focus on problem solving instead of blame pointing.
