The technology is not the problem so much as how we adopt it. We all now have the opportunity to participate in peer to peer economies. We can build community owned and operated IOT networks. We can secure and own our data like never before thanks to blockchain technology.
If we wait for the tptb to build these systems for us then we get what we deserve if we embrace change for the common good and use technology to subvert the power of centralised systems then our future will be better for it.
Let's take the Pillar project as an example because that's the one that it sounds like you are insinuating is empowering. (Just correct me if I'm wrong.) Pillar is not about owning your data, it's about making it easy to access by everyone that wants it because it's oh so convenient to do so. Regardless of Pillar, your data will continue to be collected and managed away from you unless it's made incredibly easy to collect and analyze through a common approach. This is what Pillar is about. The story that is sold by Pillar though, is that your most private data is protected in the highly accessible (but encrypted) blockchain..huh? I want my most private data nowhere near broadly distributed storage. I want it under my own physical control.
Do you see what is being done here? They are selling your half truths and lies to con you into giving up your most precious information for convenience's sake. They make it sound empowering and that it's actually a form of protection of your data. It's complete and total deception so that the people demand their own future control and imprisonment. This is how the Luciferian approach works. They want you to demand their future goals and then the karma is no longer theirs either. It also makes it incredibly easy to implement because people will literally fight for it on their behalf. How do you think communism was implemented? It sounds great at first on paper if you don't think through all the problems with it, but that's what people bought into. And what they are bringing now is technocracy-communitarianism, in smart cities, where the IOT does much of the work, you own nothing, you have a basic income, and you share everything with everyone else. Then if they shut off your chip you're done for.
The issue at hand is that most people are, frankly, completely incapable of properly understanding and analyzing all these projects and technologies. They just want something convenient that sounds like it's a good thing. It's not that there aren't good new technologies with all of this as well - there are, but deciphering them and selecting them is extremely difficult. This is also because the Luciferians will sell you the best advertising for their projects and hide what is devious or threatening about them. This is what is happening with Pillar and will happen with loads of other projects as well unless people wake up to the fact that this is all part of Beast system agenda and development plan. This means they need to be incredibly vigilant to not be deceived at this time.
I was not referring to Pillar at all and do have some suspicions of their intentions however we can now define our own future through the decentralisation of many of todays financial, political and social systems so why not embrace the possibilities instead of fearing them.
I've just written a new blog post on this whole topic. Please do have a read. It should provide more context.
I'm not a Luddite by any stretch of the imagination, but with every new technology must come a new understanding of how it can be used for good and for bad. We need to assess this carefully before just throwing it out into the environment. GMOs are a perfect example. They are incredibly dangerous to the current ecosystems and you can't just put them back into Pandora's box after you open it. AI is one of these technologies as well.
On top of this, these new technologies often have stealth agendas behind them. You don't know who's goals you are actually working for when you implement them without examining them in more detail first. Cryptocurrencies come to mind in this regard. If the cryptos are truly kept away from government and corporate Luciferian control, then they can be used to benefit society. However, I believe the plan is the opposite - lure everyone into the freedom bit as well as money making and then do a big switch-a-roo and see if the masses notice. I can pretty much guarantee they won't. Then what to do after this is the next question. This is what we need to be thinking about. This is a strategic game of chess that most people don't have a clue is being played with them regarding their future. Only a few people like Max Igan are seeing the big picture of it.
