I'm not afraid of us losing either, but this technology shit is getting creepy. The more I learn about AI and all this other crap the more concerned I get with the future. We may win the war against the cabal but humanity seems more and more dependent on technology and it seems like the tech that's about to arrive will simply make us all obsolete and drive people further apart. A bit like the movie Upgrade where people would prefer to hook themselves up to virtual reality simulators instead of living in the biological world and maintaining a human connection since people will ultimately get "bored" of reality. Not exactly an optimistic future to step into, as a humanist...
Hate to say it, but it's already far, far more creepy than you're aware of. The enemy created things in the shadows that should never have existed. At least we now have the chance to use them against them...
Nice post by the way. I agree with everything you said.
Is there any way to "un" create them, or is that purely wishful thinking? I can't imagine a tech-dystopia being on the bingo card of the future Q/DJT envisions for humanity...
Nothing has ever truly been "uncreated." The best we can hope for is to steer how it makes its way into the public. Brain/Computer Interfacing is going to happen either way. It will be much less terrifying with white hats throttling what is made public and how.
White hats in control and lots of government regulation definitely gives me a reason to be calm but I still worry that the future will be less and less "human" if that makes sense... It only makes me want to connect with nature even more and to avoid my phone and computer. And who knows, maybe I'll give this God/Jesus thing a shot... I'd rather worship the actual creator as opposed to a piece of technology...
Now I know what Tolkien must have felt like when he lamented the age of industrialization and how he longed for a simpler time.

Remember that kid who shot up the school in Florida? Remember him "hearing demons in his head?" Those weren't demons...at least not in the traditional sense...
