RE: Innocent bystanders: selling our freedom for cheap thrills
I think its generational too .... if you grew up in a time without smart phones, its easier to detach because you can relate and take comfort in the things that you used to do when they didn't exist.
Kids these days (OMG I AM MY PARENTS) grew up with this technological window into the lives of their friends from day one. They don't know what it is like to ride your bike over to a friends house, knock on the door and ask their parents where they are right now so you can meet up. They just open Instagram and see where the GPS pin says they are .....
We need to teach the kids today why privacy is important, they have a chance to retain it before they make any of the mistakes we did.
That's very true - most of my friends do that. To be honest, I'm always a bit scared when I see them check those little maps. Wouldn't want my location to be pinned on a map for everyone to see.
But that's the problem - nobody is teaching them that.
I posted this a couple of weeks ago on my feed ... I think it is applicable here .... I (we) cant give up, we have to keep trying.
Don't be too hard on yourself ... remember that the adage of 'the next generation is better off than the previous one'...was a total lie.
It was built on debt of the future, to pacify the electorate.
NOW is the time the charade is falling to pieces.
It was inevitable, it's just that this generation (and the next one) are 'it' in the game financial musical chairs.
That's why we need a non debt based monetary system so it doesn't happen again...or it will...as sure as the sun comin' up in the morning..
😂😂, thankfully I becoming more like my dad every day!
He was the 'biggest' man I ever met. (and I am saying that as objectively as I can, being his son)
He was the stubborn one, the one who followed nobody. He has is own mind.
(now I know where I get it! lol)
If people do understand what privacy is, and don't feel the importance of it - they are just the sheep.
There is nothing you can do, because they just want a non confrontational life, and peaceful death.
It's always been this way.
All changes have come from 5 -10% of society- like the American revolution, for example.
