Ravenharp Posted June 17, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 17, 2017 (edited) Eg. automated cars, ‘smart’ homes, fridges, dishwashers, NSA, and ‘neuralink’ brain implants to connect our brains to the internet. (If you don't believe me on that last once, search ''Elon musk Neuralink implant. This isn't a sci fi horror movie anymore. It's real!) This isn’t progress anymore it’s control. I notice modern nerds seem to go out of their way more to harm people instead of finding the cure for disease and famine. They just seem like a big hivemind rather than individual persons, yelling ''this is the future! Suck it up!'' or ''luddite!'' if you even REMOTELY criticise their ideas, and also censoring people (such as Reddit) by downvoting en masse if someone disagrees even slightly with these soon to be mandated ideas. It's no longer an obscure subject. It's being rubbed in our faces. You can say ''you don't HAVE to buy these things'', well the issue is these nerds are going to soon MANDATE these items and potentially imprison us if we don't conform to this artificial, freedomless way of life. They're looking to ban human drivers off the roads. The future is here and it's a dystopian one. 1984 is becoming a reality. Gone are the days when the nerds were focusing on real issues such as curing Polio with vaccines and coming up with ways to repair our DNA. Seriously. WTF happened. This stuff doesn't help my blood pressure or my depression. I miss when nerds were actually GOOD people and were finding cures for disease and famine. Now they're just evil megalomaniacal people. I no longer feel sorry for nerds if bad stuff comes to them. Edited June 17, 2017 by Ravenharp 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tacoavenger17 Posted June 17, 2017 #7 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Should have known, I saw revenge of the nerds countless times but never dreamed they'd pull it off, and what's worse is they turned ogre into a nerd too. Thank god for president biff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm usually good with technology. For example being able to play super HD games on a hand held console, medical technology and graphic design technology. But I'm apparently a ''luddite'' who is against ''progress'' if I'm against the things I mentioned in OP or if I'm even remotely critical of them. It's especially rampant on Reddit. Here's what a guy's just sent me: ''Automation will be the thing that totally frees Humanity from pointless labor, and silly pointless jobs that we have by and large adopted for our society.''

I made an account in 2010 then dumped it after a week or two. Didn't see the appeal. Same with iPhones. I always saw Facebook as like a game of how many friends and 'likes' you have. If I want to talk with friends I meet them face to face or use my phone which can only send texts and make calls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilly Posted June 17, 2017 #12 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I seem to be able to function 'in this day and age' pretty well and I've never had an account on Facebook. I have a computer and manage to do what I need to do with it minus Facebook. I also have an iPhone7 and use it all the time (love the camera and the GPS). I do not spend all my time on my computer or my iPhone. Heck, coming here to UM is enough for me. Technology is great and all but it just can't take the place of seeing my friends and my children, or just taking a walk down by the ocean with my dog. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont recall the thread where I spoke about the freemasons starting ww3 but ill take your word for it. As for joining, well I used to use the church to make connections and network but really dont have the stomach to deal with those people anymore so I am looking for new networking resources. It does suck being a grown up sometimes. Edit to add: Kind of a weird place to choose to attack me over that isnt it?

I don't think we're outnumbered,,I think there is a division, that is becoming more evident everyday. I see how they mock us in everything, you know what I'm referring to right? not just everyday people being mean . They put things out there and the majority have no clue.

I dont believe Trump is any different. Thats really the bottom line, I see Trump as nothing more than an elitist conman who suckered people into believing a whole PACK of lies Trump broke 80 promises in 100 days . Why do you think he said he wouldnt push to have Hillary prosecuted? Because HE IS ONE OF THEM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theyre already doing a trial run of that somewhere in Canada and in one or more of the Nordic nations I believe.

The Silver Thong Posted June 17, 2017 #24 Share Posted June 17, 2017 To me the driverless car is a way to monitor the population. Most everyone has gps on there phone now but we can turn that off. The driverless car will track you everywhere. I bet the next step is to put gps units in bicycles or in running shoes maybe in mandatory vaccines. I know crazy but I don`t doubt it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
