2024-02-23T12:02:39+01:00

"Imagine wearing Vision Pro goggles for some time. You wear them for business meetings, immersive 3D movies, TV shows, games, and FaceTime calls.

Now, imagine removing your headset. Try to contemplate how dim, unexciting, and unyielding the natural world suddenly becomes when you cannot edit your surroundings any more.

Gradually, it dawns on you that you cannot go through life without synthetic vision. Give it a couple of years and the physical world will become an impenetrable, unforgiving place mired by fixed limits, frustrations, and dangers. Step into augmented reality, however, and everything is, once again, malleable, safe, and under control.

There is no undo button at that point. Synthetic vision will have become part of being human."

As the calendar year comes to an end, I’d like to thank you for supporting my work.I hope those articles have inspired you to do your own research and make up your own mind about what is happening in the world.Caveat emptor.I
do casual research and synthesize estimates about what is happening
around us, and what might happen in the years ahead. None of that is
perfect — I’m just a guy on the internet trying to figure things out. In
fact, the more I work on those topics, the more I realize how fallible
my logic and intellect is. Earlier this year, that realization led me to
the Word of God, as the only inerrant, infallible, origin of Truth.So, once again, thank you for being on this journey with me.Best wishes to you and your families

Twitter only gives you an option to "deactivate" your account. I don't see a "delete" option though.

They give you a 30 day grace period. The question is, do they delete your data after 30 days or do they hold on to it, for ever and ever?

Either way, yet another reason to exit that platform sooner or later.

2023-09-01T10:31:51+02:00

I don’t know if you’ve watched videos of how urban life looked like at the turn of last century (link at the end). I love watching those videos because they are full of beauty, innocence, self-respect, and healthy, effortless smiles.

Imagine if we could watch how life was several centuries back. I bet things were even better back then, despite what mainstream tells us: oh, how poor and short-lived those primitive and uneducated humans were. Oh, how unequal, oppressive, and undemocratic their societies were. And yet, those glimpses of the past suggest otherwise.

Besides, it’s not like we need video documentaries. Most of us have met our grandparents (and other old people) so we can compare their generation with ours.

What changed?

The hierarchy of our society used to be different. At the bottom were peasants. A few layers above were some aristocrats, and at the very top was God. Indeed, our ancestors deferred to Him as the ultimate authority.

What about today’s hierarchical pyramid?

Well, at the very bottom you have today’s peasants – all those educated and diligent workers who pay their taxes, vote, and watch Netflix. Above them you have bureaucrats, politicians, and financiers. Further up, you have think-tanks, the UN, BIS, WEF, NATO, and their friends.

And then what? Who or what sits at the very top?

Modern society no longer defers to God as the ultimate authority. As Dostoevski wrote, in the absence of God, there is chaos. The reason why modern societies look so ugly and hellish is because they have rebelled against God.

But you and I have a choice.

If we don’t want to follow the hordes of Lemmings falling off the cliff, we can opt out. We can hold on to our own Faith, chart our own path, and determine our own destiny. But make no mistake, it all starts with God.

Here is one video from the turn of last century: https://youtu.be/rHqha40xRL4

Wealth is measure by our capacity to meet our own needs.

If a transaction robs you of that ability, you need to add the cost of that loss to the seemingly low monetary cost.

Example:
Food delivery is deceptively cheap. Of course, it carries a health cost but it also exacts a penalty on our ability to feed ourselves.

Because the habit of relying on others to conveniently spoon feed us is akin to muscle atrophy.
