Elon Musk put a chip in this paralysed man’s brain. Now he can move things with his mind. Should we be amazed - or terrified?

“Only if you fail to step up and “self govern”.

How are you going to do that when the “control and submission” chips become mandatory?

Tremendous potential, for good as well as evil, as was God's choice to enable man to make consequential choices vs. a world of robots or mere animals driven by instincts. Insofar as thoughts can be turned into actions via powerful tech then it exponentially could be used for constructive and destructive means.

There are people walking around today that would be as Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot, Kim Jung il if they had the means, and others would act as constructive altruistic agents.

And it is another level if dreams result in reality (as with the Krells) via this tech.

...chips become mandatory...

If it reaches that point, you surely haven't self governed. Baa.

“Have you not seen anything in recent weeks that give you hope for the future?”

Of course, but we only see one hand. What I worry about is what these technocrat control freaks are holding in that other hand behind their backs they have not shown us yet...

Morning,
See #39. Fishman worked in SC with Stephen Plager who did Dad’s cataracts. I saw him a few times for misc. damage repair. Fishman worked on what I interpreted as an implanted silicon camera driving optic nerve(s) a long time ago. (artificial retina)

Starve you into submission. Punish your loved ones because of your resistance. They are ruthless in their search for power and profit.

38. Wind gusts the other day lifted the skylight out of the upstairs bathroom, blew the chain weighted tarps off a wood pile and tore the front door awning off. Power dropped for about 5 seconds. Just enough to adjust all the clocks. A$$ pain day.

Starve...Punish...They are ruthless...i

Sounds like you have no intention of participating in your own governance.

The point I am making is really pretty simple, yet IS the solution to ALL of your earthly worries. Right now, a majority of those in civil service are leftist-extremists. Why is that? That occurred because conservatives do not "self govern"; rather, they leave that job to someone else. Why are the majority of school teachers leftists? Because conservatives do not go for those jobs. They let others educate their children. That must stop!! Conservatives must take up their "half" in every walk of life, balancing out the foolishness of those others.

Where were the riots over the mass incarcerations of the J6 people? Conservatives are too busy or self-righteous to take to the streets over just causes. The same can't be said of those of leftist slant.

Conservatives really don't participate in the governing process except on election day. That simply isn't enough.

I think very highly of you. Yet, I see that you have collapsed internally and have given up on your very own government, your own future. You have developed a sense of mistrust that you prescribe to all people who work in government. THAT is the kernel of civilization collapse; and, you are nourishing it. There are people within the government who do not deserve such labeling. It is our job to see that their ranks swell and those who earned distrust are cast out.

Donald Trump is but one man. It is time he had a Nation full of excited helpers.

So, why aren't conservatives in there to moderate it?

People always get the government they deserve.

What do you think I am doing right now? I am trying to defend myself and my loved ones from the mass ignorance and blind trust that will take us down with it too.

Yes, you are! I think our dialog is "kick-ass"! The pro/con banter delivers a LOT of food for thought. We are a splendid team!

No need to be terrified as long as it’s voluntary.

We have shown in the past that you and I are somewhat congruent in mind. It is obvious to me that Western Civilization is collapsing, and that there are physical actors who are attempting to hasten that process. The collapse does not have to occur. That can be postponed or even reversed, but only if people become aware. Once aware, they MUST act.

You and I are old farts that really cannot pursue a more active role in reclaiming our society. We most surely can continue to attempt to wake people up to the perils in their midst and the solutions they must apply.
