Cloud state? Instead of talking about it can do, might allow etc. start talking about accountability. Start talking about consequences. Start talking arrest. Start talking about the flip side of control and freedom of action. Let's see how that goes.

so true.

certain 'social media figures' have been advocating for a so-called 'unplugging' of onself from a certain 'matrix', which always seemed absurd to me.

surely the more sensible route, is to plug yourself even further into the 'matrix'? become plugged into it to the end that you have a voice in its running.

all these calls for 'leaving' technology, is just admitting a slow and inevitable defeat. we should be telling the youth, join big tech; join big pharma; join the gigacorps, the massive insurance companies - is that not where real power lies? is it not in those very boardrooms that the future of the world is crafted? we should be in them - or else, it'll be someone else advocating for their own interests.

i really hate so much some online voices who advocate for 'trades', or 'blue collar work' (no offence) - so insidious. especially when virtually all of them have white collar degrees from elite institutions.
