Right. But why bring up chips and digital passports at all in the discussion of the pandemic?AshvinP wrote: ↑Mon Dec 27, 2021 3:59 pmSoul_of_Shu wrote: ↑Mon Dec 27, 2021 3:26 pmAnd that is the very credo of us-vs-them is it not? Each side pointing out that the other side is crazy, and can't be trusted.
No-one intended that there is some bad-guy conspiracy to ensure everyone being chipped, and Elon Musk is not considered part of such a 'conspiracy' with neuralink (no need to sneak it into a vaccine, they're already eagerly lining up on Wall Street, fists full of dollars), but actually just another brilliant myth-of-the-machine advocate, who is surely well-intentioned—how great to be able to turn on the smartphone with one's thoughts! But as always there is the huge potential for abuse of the technology, when your thoughts are now in the cyber-age database. Who needs self-inquiry anymore as a guide? The Machine will guide the way ... just like the Tower of Babel.Jim wrote:They say "you' don't have to imagine a conspiracy" then literally spout a conspiracy theory about everyone being chipped. One of the key Internet memes about the vaccine, of course, is that a vaccine puts a chip into you.
Anyway, I'm with CE, and while I don't find trepidation to be very helpful, one should be skeptical about any oh-so-comforting certainty about the ramifications of the myth of the machine as trusted guide and driver, or counter claims that it is on the road to dystopian hell, while in both cases the integral-mode ideation that will find the sanative balance takes a back seat.
Yeah, Jim's quote doesn't mention anything about the chip coming via vaccine, but he read that into it anyway. I wonder if people even notice they are engaged in this projecting anymore... I suppose not, otherwise they likely wouldn't be doing it.
It is really frightening how saying we are moving towards digital monitoring is dismissed as a "conspiracy theory" when it has already happened, for all intents and purposes. It shows how little people are actually paying attention to what goes on around them.
You don't have to mention about chips in the vaccine. The audience already knows about the chips in the vaccine.
As I said, there are legitimate issues about this but these guys are shoehorning the issue into a discussion about the pandemic. It is all about a worldview that wants everything to conform to a particular narrative so public health measures at a time when millions are dying from a disease have to fit the narrative too.It is really frightening how saying we are moving towards digital monitoring is dismissed as a "conspiracy theory" when it has already happened, for all intents and purposes.

They say:
As they stream their conversation on YouTube owned by Google that is undoubtedly tracking every click of every viewer. Oh, the irony! Maybe we should have stopped with CDs?this is simply the march towards uh mark zuckerberg's metaverse it's uh it's the march towards the world that silicon valley are very very openly trying to take us towards
Later they grouse about industrial agriculture. I wonder do they grow their own food. Should we have stopped with oxen and plow?
