RE: Why Are 'Conspiracy Theorists' Worried About an Impending Power Grid Failure?

in #cyber3 years ago

If we build and want a world in which we transfer all the functions that seem important to us to our mobile and internet-enabled devices and these would then fail and as a consequence we would be incapable of acting, I would like to know why we want such a world in the first place. What would happen? Would transport no longer take place, would the supply of food be endangered? Would people not know what to do if the technology failed? Personally, I don't think people are so stupid that they couldn't decide what to do in the event of a technical failure. At the end of the chain in the respective spheres of action, people would make decisions. If there weren't always those in the hierarchy who are afraid of bearing responsibility or making mistakes. So mistakes happen, so what?

We are always forced into debates that conjure up a what-if scenario. It's annoying to think through such things from the sofa or computer, and you can't really. The big corporations make their worries our worries. Politics does the same.
