I’m 43, I’m former infantry. I have three tours overseas. I’ve seen technology and what it can do. I can also use map and compass and go without a phone like I used to. The trouble is all this technology and means allow those that would want to control us all to be able to do so a lot easier than without.

All these same conveniences which allow you to talk to your car or Alexa, or anything makes it far easier to bring you and yours under their thumb.

"When the lines are close together, here? That means STEEP --lots of effort. Here, where the lines are super far apart? That's flat --lolly-gagging, as long as there aren't tons of brush and trees, or boulders."

To you and me, that's simple as hell --it comes in a flash. Who could NOT understand something so simple..? 3d turned into 2d, seen from above, dummy. You're God, sorta, looking down.

Yet it's my experience that a MIND-BLOWING number of people, especially women, cannot understand that.

If it's run by them SCREAMING, jumping up and down, or instead by civvies really slow and polite, the result is the same:

90% of people still don't get it and even many of the book-smart people somehow can't put it into practice.

I agree with you. I'm by no means a Luddite, I am a firm believer in the adage that just because something can be done, doesn't necessarily mean it should be done. Technology greatly expands the limit of what is possible, and it seems it is the nature of evil to take advantage of those opportunities much more rapidly than the forces of good.

Then you have an understanding of how important it is to control the high ground. If we don't control space we should all learn Chinese. OK? "Take your protein pills and put your helmet on."
