> Could you download all your knowledge onto a USB stick (you do have a USB port on the top of your head right?)

Would that I could. :-)

God saw fit to grant me the intelligence and iniatitive to become an engineer, the talent to become a musician, and the happy circumstance of living in America where I could develop and use those abilities. For those gifts I give thanks to God every day. So while I'm proud of my accomplishments in those areas, I see myself mainly as a vessel through which God has elected to do some really cool stuff.

But alas, no USB port (on my head or elsewhere).

> I foresee a day when most all financial transactions will require TPM enabled hardware, and with the "Trust" being expanded to include ideological content.

In which case I suppose I'll have to get a computer, with TPM, for those and only those transactions. I'll access FreeRepublic and order anti-authoritarian T-shirts and read the Founding Documents on a different one. I still have the hardcopy KJV I grew up with, for when I read Scripture -- the feel of those old, thin, but precious pages helps put me in the proper frame of mind to absorb their wisdom.

In the more mundane arena, I'm used to dealing with multiple areas of security and controlled access -- working in IT/DevOps, I deal with much more complex situations of that nature every day, so it comes second-nature. E.g. My Win7 VM was disconnected from the internet two years ago for security reasons, but it's still useful so it runs in a protected enclave. It's only mildly annoying to have one computer for this, and another for that.

As for the heavy hand of the Big Tech companies, I tell myself to be patient. The current mess is unstable and unsustainable. It will come crashing down eventually, probably after my time on Earth has ended, but I do believe the current horrors can't and won't last forever. There will be a Great Reset, but it won't be the one the globalists are planning, and God willing, the human race will recover and go forward, in some different way.

But apparently not enough coffee yet today. :-)
