This is a tough and a sad one. We really don't have the "hero" figures in the year we live in that we did 10 or 15 years ago. The Superhero movies these days are some woke fucking garbage with a bunch of bull-dyke women or soy-cuck men instead of the ones a few decades ago like the first Incredible Hulk and some of those other ones. Hell even Bond was a classic hero for many people in the world.
These days, I find it hard to figure out who to look up to, and I think that is likely intentional. It could also be a product of the vast breadth of exposure to information that we have today. Who a hero is today, could be a villain tomorrow. I think some people that I look up to are the ones who are trying to make really small big critical changes to our technology.
Glenn Meder from Privacy Action Network is a great one who stands on his principles and puts his money where his mouth is.
Hakeem Anwar from Above Phone is also another great example, someone creating technology that helps us break free from the digital panopticon.
The two founder dudes that I can't recall their names exactly but from Daylight Computer are also fantastic people to look up to for inspiration as to how to fight back against a brutal and corrupt system.
Dr Alexis Cowan is a brilliant biologist exposing the truth about blue-light poisoning and the destructive effects of non-native EMF on our bodies.
I think the important thing is that we find causes that we believe in strongly, for me it is privacy and technological health and these are really great examples of pushing that forward.
I wonder what the next Bond will be - I am guessing it is going mainstream woke. Not even a tortured hero.
Exactly. So much visibility and access will mean everyone will fail - especially in a world polarized to hate.
