Tech good for quick spread of info among the people….but also allows for misinfo, disinfo, straight propaganda, and tearing down the social fabric of person to person interaction
We are nearing three decades of this type of tech and we are now seeing how it is tearing society apart. Fortunately that same tech can be used to mend and heal society to return to normalcy and away from corruption.
Mobile phones, internet 'socials' and streaming TV were all cultivated simultaneously at the end of the 90s, on purpose. We now see the results, as I predicted several years ago but everyone around scoffed that I was just being a Luddite for not 'keeping up'.
I have lived long enough, and read enough history and the stories of people going back many centuries, to know that there really has never been a "simpler time." I think that phrase is a nostalgic, comforting thing that people imagine, but it truly never was.
Life in all past ages has been difficult and more complex in ways that we cannot imagine. Before refrigeration, my grandmother had to shop for groceries every single day (except Sunday when all stores were closed out of reverence for God), washing clothes was done by hand, caring for livestock was full time work, and communication with the outside world was slow and never assured. Both my grandfathers were farmers and the work was from sunup to sundown and it never stopped...even in winter there were things to do to keep their farms ready and productive.
Before that, people lived lives of complexity innate to their times. We tend to long for those times because we don't see the complexities that filled the lives of people at those times.
On a brighter note, we today, we who have been called to be witness to the events of this age, may have been born for this very moment in human history. I've tried to embrace that, no matter what may come.
Yes, ur right. My fam were farmers too. But back then, men were men, women were women, food was real and clean. Water was not tainted, the sky was clear and people had faith in their Creator, your word meant something, morals, values, integrity and your good name had value.
I’d rather have to work hard and have these good things than the satanic confusion, moral bankruptcy, sexual deviancy and blatant lying, do what thou wilt, advanced technological society we have today.
Oh yeah, I'd gladly go back to life in the late 1940s to early 1950s, before America was "culturally enriched" by so many deadbeat parasites from Third World countries and the LBGTQ crazies got hold of everything and tainted them forever. Bring it, I can deal with it... manual transmission cars, uncorrupted and unweaponized government, and a dollar was worth a dollar.
RIP Unabomber. I wish he got his point across in another way. But I have a feeling he saw a few things back then that we are seeing now. Our tech overlords planned this soft slavery decades ago.
So many say, “What a great time to be alive!”
Ya, no. Watching so much carnage around me makes me long for a simpler time…before technology.
One could argue that's why the rot and corruption lasted so long.
With todays tech they are exposed for the world to see all at once.
That’s a fair point.

Well while i dont doubt that thats possible, i have seen no evidence of it bringing us together so far
You are right. The corruption has been going on for a very long time. What's different now is only that it is exposed.

Just sayin…
