Most of "them" see us the way most of us see other animals - to be used and killed with little or no consideration. Like lower life forms, capable of being owned, bred, controlled, and profited off.

Thank you for writing in proper English, and taking care with your wording. Some of us actually do appreciate writers who convey meaning accurately! There's a trend now (especially around here) of incredibly poor writing, so bad you can't even follow the person's logic (if there is any). I feel that if we're trying to communicate something, we should put a little effort into doing so as clearly as possible, as often as possible. Comments might be a little less important, but posts are meant to be public, on the record, and official in some manner. People whose posts resemble the inside of my paper shredder are making $60+ a pop here though, so apparently the big curators don't seem to care if things make sense or not.

Speaking of curation, $30 immediately upon posting, not bad! I will have to check out this deep dives thing! Actually, I believe they've invited me to tag my applicable posts that way, so I really should do so.

I've cued up your Bill Gates doc on Bitch, but it's not playing. Will keep trying. (I'm really not happy with the alternative platforms lately. None of them can stay up, they're all glitchy, they're all still in beta mode, most of the features are still being developed, etc.... if they want people to leave big tech, they're going to have to get their shit together IMO!)

I don't necessarily have any problem with transhumanism, but the word itself has been dirtied. In fact, it has become en vogue among conscious people to be anti-transhumanist. But nothing about changing oneself is inherently dangerous or evil. We do it all the time, right down to having a haircut, a pedicure, or a cavity filled. Glasses, contacts, eye surgery, all various degrees of transhumanism. Artificial limbs and so on. We augment and repair and improve ourselves using technology all the time, and have for thousands of years. The problem comes when people give this power over to the elites, who aren't trustworthy in the slightest. And, when the elites begin to seize this power, as we're seeing more and more lately.

I think you already know that I totally agree with you about the masks. Been fighting that since day 1, and still haven't acquiesced. Walked past somebody smoking with a dirty mask around their chin today. I had to breathe their poisonous cancer-causing government-legalized cigarette smoke, which even a mask wouldn't stop because smoke particles are FAR larger than aerosolized viruses, but then had to fight to get into a grocery store without a mask on, because supposedly it's going to protect other shoppers and staff from me?

Maybe I can wear 2 masks, protect all you great people a little bit more? How about 3? How about I just hold my breath while I'm in the store? You can seal my nose and mouth shut, so even if I want to, I can't infect anybody. Oh wait, my tears, I forgot. You'll have to glue my eyes shut or something.

I mean come on, I'm feeling more than a little gaslit here! Only thing keeping my lid on lately is KNOWING we're being gaslit. If you know, at least that takes some of the bite out of it, but it's still terribly aggravating.

You lost me a little with the Yogananda stuff, which is not to say that I don't believe it or don't agree, I just haven't heard much about it or studied it.

Thanks for mentioning smart devices as a major source of our enslavement. So many conscious people are afraid to admit that, perhaps because they themselves are using smart devices, and maybe even addicted to them. I've still NEVER owned a smart device and there are still NONE in my house. That is the very minimum we should all be doing. Anyone with a single smart device in their home is a fool, and responsible for the enslavement of the rest of us. This can't be stressed enough!

My wife loves this one:

You say that it's good that things have collapsed. I think there are some bad and evil things about life before 2020, and also some good and beautiful things about life before 2020. To say we have to do away with it all is over-simplistic, and probably comes across as tone-deaf to people who have, for example, lost everything including their families, loved ones, health, and sanity. The human suffering happening right now is immeasurable and surely greater than at ANY point in history. And the cause of that is the pandemic and/or collapse and/or lockdowns. Things were bad before, and we needed to change, but this isn't a step in the right direction whatsoever.

You eventually get to offering a solution, which essentially is to opt out and cast off their chains.

I completely agree, we must be the change, we should meditate, and unite, educate ourselves and each other, unmask, banish fear, love more, become more independent, stop watching TV, and so on. These are the things I've been doing and advocating (and I assume you have been doing and advocating) for 15+ years now. They are absolutely necessary, and we should continue them and redouble our efforts. But is that really the solution to covid 1984? If it is, why hasn't it brought us victory before? Is now their most vulnerable moment and we've just been biding our time until their soft underbelly was exposed? Hmmm.

One part of the solution I didn't hear mentioned was to stop enslaving other animals. I believe the more we normalize it, the more we fail to see how horrible it is, and the more we fail to notice it's being done to us. Most people don't realize that we're domesticated animals to the elites, even as they domesticate (enslave) other (ie "lower") mammals. We rape them, we torture them, we steal and kill their babies, we pump their fluids, and we grind them up, even the bones, to get every last bit of value out of them. Their minds, personalities, dreams, loves, fears, wants, needs, beliefs, family bonds, and other things do NOT matter to us. And the elites justify treating us exactly that same way. We live violent lives, we eat violence, we drink violence, we normalize it, and then we complain that there is no peace on Earth?!

I guess the reason I'm looking for more solutions,even though the ones mentioned are great, is because many of us have been doing them for a long time. Also, a lot of those things are very abstract, and hard to grasp for somebody who is sitting in their tiny apartment, month after month, feeling trapped and powerless and like they're going crazy and there's nothing they can do about it. A lot of people are just hanging on right now. Those of us who are a little better off are still not doing that well, let's face it. This isn't sustainable. We need out, and we need out NOW. If we do another year, maybe even half a year, the way things have been going, there might not be any way to go back to free market and free humans, period. The calendar keeps flipping, and we just keep getting more enslaved, and the light in the rearview mirror is getting smaller and smaller. Many of us soon won't remember freedom of any kind, like those dogs at the pet shop who stopped trying to cope, and now just lie there waiting to die.

And yet I don't have other solutions to offer, as you've more or less mentioned the main ones already. A couple I consider priorities are not enslaving other sentient animals, and staying at least 10 meters from ALL smart devices at ALL times.

Opting out

Opting out is something on my mind a lot lately. I've thought that way for a long time, and lived that way to some degree, even. But since covid my wife and I are increasingly wishing we could just.... OPT OUT.

We don't want to be part of this crap. But how? I'd pack our stuff and head out this spring in search of land to build a log cabin on, if that was still legal! But they'll come find you, and either drag you back to the city, or kill you. Living outside the system is no longer allowed.

Course, there is the freeman on the land concept. The system calls them "paper terrorists" now because they use the state's own legal system against it.

Sometimes I think of those uncontacted tribes in Brazil and other remote places. Oh, the freedom they have. Stay uncontacted as long as you can, I say. The rest of us aren't worth knowing or associating with until we get our act together!

Thank you for the quantum link, will check that out.

Great post :)
