Progress comes at a cost
Freedom isn’t free
If you want to make an omelet you have to crack some eggs.
Modernity requires the relinquishing of lifestyles that have been part of the human experience for all of recored history begging the big question is if the juice is worth the squeeze?
History is studied, cited and taught to give our current status quo context. This context is often invoked to justify the cost of modernity. Everything from our religious beliefs, to our governmental structure and our economy exist within a carefully constructed framework of “consensus narratives” which pacify the masses into compliance with the larger “plan”.
The prevailing/mainstream narrative of history is a linear progression from the primitive “Stone Age” through the Bronze and Iron ages, towards the modern technological “Information Age”. This is referred to as a “progression” from a miserable existence battling for scraps to our current gleeful existence of abundunce. Any perceived downside to this progress can be justified by the fruits of modernity.
Pipelines criss cross our lands, high voltage power lines are strung above our heads, the water is pulled out from under our feet and we are told it is progress. Our environment is continually being polluted through accidental spills and intentional dumping, but it has to happen.. for progress. One of the new battles that is popping up all around Texas, as well as the whole world, are DATA centers. Which consume huge amounts of water and which require so much power that small nuclear reactors on site are proposed to power them. But rest assured that these DATA centers are for us… for progress.
The dangling carrot of progress
This same type of Gaslighting has been used throughout the ages to send soldiers to war, justified slavery, and fueled countless other atrocities, many of which still continue today on an even larger scale.
This type of undermining is highlighted in the novel The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck.
The Tractor passage highlights how the industrialization of modernity divorces humanity from the land. By commodifying nature’s resources and quantifing the once mystical experience of manually working and living on the land industrial farming boils the process down to chemistry and measures success by extracting the value from the land. The land is only as valuable because it produces a product. Once the people were pushed off the land the homes that house lives where replaced with shed that housed equipment, dead metal. The people who work the land no longer love the land as they work it, rather they hold it in contempt as just a job, they don’t reap sustenance from their labor, they reap money.
The Dust bowl, Economic crash, and industrialization all combined to destroyed a once Proud land owning farmer class of Agrarian Americans leaving in the ruins a nomadic class of farmer classified by the state as vagrants or “migrant” labor. They forced “Subsistence” farmers to switch to “Commodities” which required participation in financial entanglements forcing farmers to take loans out for next years crop. As industrialization dropped the “cost” of production for large businesses it made competition impossible for the “small scale COMMODITIES growers”. This allowed industrialist to control all forms of production by eliminating the compitition through market manipulation.
In the same way that the subsistence life style of the early “American” frontier was bulldozed for commodity farming the human soul is being harvested for DATA centers to be build. DATA Centers= SkyNet
They are building nuclear powered Computer centers that can be used to “store” and process DATA. We are being told it is to power the new AI revolution but I think that is bull shit. It is a new apparatus for commodifying the planet.
Projects like these receive millions of dollars in government AID, AKA YOUR tax money, Money that could be used for schools, given to farmers to grow clean food, given to the sick and dying to elevate suffering and improve the quality of what remaining life they have left….
No. billions of dollars for a project RUN BY A NUCLEAR REACTOR can use all our precious water to cool servers that process all of our information so that the billion dollar TECH company can better convince me to give them the rest of my money and the souls of Our children!
How Do You Free Yourself From a Prison You Can not See?
Using your eyes for the first time
We live in a propaganda machine that was built by the most proficient and genius magicians that have ever lived. Your thoughts are not your own. We justify atrocities because WE HAVE BEEN PROGRAMMED TO! It is not an accident that most people can’t point out the Middle East on a map, or explain taxation through the inflation of fiat money. This demonic system of explicit coercion exploits our collectivist nature using our very biology and cognitive development against us.
We must first admit that we have a problem. We are living in a society with advanced hardware and we are running cave man software. They know what they are doing to you, They are intensional in their attempt to create a victim or reliant hive minded mass. We must resist the urges of these digital demons and steer our selfs, our communities and lastly our society towards a spiritual revolution that will translate into the next enlightenment era of you social growth.
