The Cargo Cult of the digital ID (P#26)
What’s the difference between colonial powers tempting savages into giving up their land or resources with worthless trinkets & beads they’d never seen before, and …
we sophisticated modern day individuals falling for the bright shiny newness & convenience of technology we haven’t seen before, ignoring it’s potential to eventually modify, dominate and enslave us?
None. It’s cleverly disguised Colonialism 2.0 on repeat. This video (thanks, Libby) captures this very well. If its religious wording puts you off, just hear ‘truth’ whenever she mentions Jesus and ‘energy’ (or plasma the universe is filled with) for any mention of God, then you won’t miss the important message.
Beware the incentives, the flashy modern trends, the hip peer pressure, the corporate steamroller, the PR bullying into things that could be good – if they didn’t have a scorpion’s tail! Reject them. Survive, unlike the dinosaurs that the gullible, brainwashed kids will try to label you as for not blindly following them to your doom. It’s just the used car salesman trick of not telling you about any downside. Send them packing.
