Thank you for taking the time to read and comment @movingman as you can tell from my post I profoundly believe that our disconnection from nature weakens us on multiple levels. I also believe through our connection to nature we're undergoing some form of symbiotic consciousness birthing process and that by disconnecting we're aborting or true potential.
In terms of technology it's not so much the tech as the intent behind it, indeed by bringing something into existence it then becomes a representation of our own duality. At this moment in time our technology is driven by the need to generate an ever increasing income for the multi-national companies that are draining the lifeblood from our world. Hence the majority are at the mercy clever propagnda campaigns and complex alogorythms that seek to create a technologically induced consumer addict that is held within a neverending cycle of upgrades. Equally running alongside this greed, are a powercrazed government/elite power structure that are intent on using technology as a means of subjugation and manipulation. From this perspective the vast majority of the problems technology has brought to humanity arises from a nefarious intent.
On the flip side there is now arising a new breed of technologically savvy individuals that see through the bullshit and are seeking to use open source technology as a tool to decentralise economies and free humanity from the monetary and perceptual shackles that have been placed upon us. So yes whilst technology does indeed have the power the enslave and disconnect us, with a good will behind it then it could also emancipate the human race. I feel over the course of the next two years the two ideals are going to rise as polar opposites and that's why I feel why our choices as a consumer are going to profoundly affect the direction we take as a species .. freedom or technological enslavement, the choice is ours to make. I had a great time away thank you .. I was our hiking in the mountains and reconnecting with the earth and I feel so much better for it. Thanks again for the great coment and support my friend.
I watched a video last night from a guy who has access to data which he has used already to predict quite accurately, events that happened such as the exposure of pedophile rings among celebrities and the mainstream media and how during the next 2 years the masses will start to see the m.s.m as it really is, as more and more cases are to b exposed about child sex, and people will start to use independant social media more (such as Steemit) and read none of the mainstream news. This was all his words from 2017 and considering its just started with the facebook thing, I hope his predictions are true and to see it happening that the masses will have a technological revolution and the media will loose the power of control.
It really was a hope lifter to me, to has heard this guys words.
I really hope then that if the mainstream media falls and people only get told news that is actually real and the truth, then maybe the smart grid will fall also, this is one thing that im shit scared off , but a different subject!
Your obviously well researched and passionate about this subject which is awesome :) Until next time!
