The implications of a surveilance state in light of the creative role of the observer (as proven using the double slit experiment)
After reading the above article and various others on the rising reality of the necessary acceptance of quantum mechanics in mainstream science, one has then to face the implications of the creative role of observation or consciousness in relation to the great need of our 'brave new world' to have everything be observed and recorded for security purposes.
We change something just by watching it. At what level does this change take place? That is the key question. Does it have a difference whether one or many are observing? Does it have a difference what minority groups, ages, religions, cultures are observing? We can suggest that by recording internet activity and putting cameras on every street in an ever increasing nanny state we are indeed changing reality. If so, how is it being changed?
Is it is good or a bad thing?

The problem is less about the technology and more about the tyranny. I love choices. So, choosing to put a camera on a door is not the same as other people putting a secret camera on your door which could potentially be used against you and against others for a lot of reasons in a lot of ways. It is good to maximize choices for each person, family, city, country, to decide what they want to do. I believe in letting people decide in regards to many things. But it is tougher when people are not aware of what is stolen from them and much more.
Hey Joey,
Thanks for replying. I am by no means supporting a surveillance state. Unfortunately, I see it as an inevitability though, at least within the organised system. It is my opinion that by observing something we lock it down into a pattern. We lock people's behaviour down into patterns. This may be good for some instances to get more accountability from people but it also makes it much harder for people to change from bad habits into good habits because their world has been solidified by observation from others. The role that is observed of people by others is reprojected onto that person by the observers.
This is why the 'fake it till you make it approach' is effective. If you can be observed as a particular role that you project yourself as and then others see you as that, you have 'made it'. You then continue walking that role you've carved out for yourself. You can become and do anything you want in this world.
In a world of constant surveillance, in my opinion, once you are seen or known as something, there is no change. There is not even a possibility.
I support giving people a choice to be observed. Many media perspectives are pushing the perspective that privacy is over rated and that you should have nothing to hide anyway. Therefore you don't need privacy. I don't agree with this. I also don't agree with putting our lives in the hand of a grand AI that knows all.
I see it as cultural suicide.
We have to ask ourselves, why are we alive? And go for that.

We are alive to make choices to love or not to love, to go towards the light or towards the darkness. The problem is when people steal away our free speech, our freewill, our freedoms, because globalists do so many different things to go after us, and the EU imprisoned Tommy Robinson for exposing some children trafficking which was already published and that is the problem which I saw when I lived in Vietnam where they imprisoned journalists and the EU is doing that and they imprison people in America, too, falsely, and we are going against centralized control and many things.
Using observation we 'lock things down' in our reality. We create accountability, a reference point. The mystery of consciousness is the coincidences that happen behind closed doors. If we are always looking, it can never change. This is why we must sleep.
