RE: The Weaponization of Social Media
Thank you, James. It's getting real now for sure, but to be an angel's advocate: For the last 15 years thinking people have sampled the delicious taste of open sourced information such as your channel, and GenZ is smarter and more observant than we give them credit. https://steemit.com/news/@tonypapa/gen-z-vs-millennials-and-gen-xers-and-what-is-the-most-important-question-gen-z-should-be-asking.
Technology is surging ahead faster than laws and comprehension. We have an opportunity to take the decentralized technologies being developed now in the world of fintech, developer tools, social media, data transfer, currency sovereignty (Monero, Zcash, Cloak), authentification, etc. and build a new ethos. It is now being done. eg.I'm giving you value from my Steemit upvote. Nothing is perfect but the quest of perfection inspires most. This flailing of legacy media of which youtube has merged, is an obvious beginning of planned tempter tantrum that was most probably Huzzahed! into play at the last Bilderbirg/Bohemian grove/InsertFavoriteGlobalistConference. And that's all for today.
I only want to add that there are practical technologies conflating with the inspirational, like 3D printing, solar power, weaponized drones, etc... Technology inures initially to institutions with deep enough pockets to acquire it. As progress ensues, it becomes dispersed to all and sundry, just as have telephones, automobiles, and firearms.
These abilities inevitably concatenate, and it is impossible to believe society will not decentralize given progress in all of these technologies. How long until we can print drugs, organs, and nuclear weapons at home? In every case centralized control of US is eliminated.
We WILL be free. It's just a matter of time and engineering.
Thank you for adding wealth to these ideas and to our power. Even though I don't know you, knowing there are others with the same frequency helps build our power exponentially.
