I agree, great article. Its not that you're a luddite - its simply that the internet went from an exuberant, wild representation of reality, to a constrained, extractive. corporate 'shop front'. All facilitated by government

Yes. Opening paragraph: > Canada is going through an unprecedented growth spurt, having added well over a million people last year after a similarly historic intake in 2022.

Maybe the data entry bit was seen as more of a secretarial role, rather than an engineering one?

Yes, most people think it's fine to initiate harm. It's foundational to the state. It's a choice to accept this, and go along with it.

It's refusing to accept that there is a moral basis for initiating force or harm against another. Now this world really does operate by force, and spends a lot of resources to accommodate its citizens to its force - education, culture,

The consumer element is the sugar to help the masses swallow the pill. If it was just about the consumer, the unit would never report its findings back to base. But blurting back your information is integral to, well, all smart devices.

My opinion is that google only ever presented as a new type of company - without ever being that. It was marketing spin - and I bought into that. I since found out it was funded from inception by inqtel, the CIA's venture capital arm.

No. I'm fine for people do drugs, if that's what they want to do. Their life, their choice. As long as they aren't harming anyone else. Do drugs recreationally if you like, with the person you're in a relationship wi

No doubt there are exceptional cases for taking a drug. But promotion of mdma as a solution to relationship problems seems unhinged. That's what I object to. Downvote away!

Perhaps yours is a needlessly optimistic way to look at things. Lasting for decades might not be a good thing. I know this is an unpopular opinion, and it is absolutely fine by me for others to do exactly as they see fit, but I really do t

There are possible causes that simply cannot be considered on account of the level of investment that big pharma has sunk into that sort of treatment. No investigations are undertaken whereas such a cause should be a consideration. IMO.

Why the big fuss? Fires happen occasionally. Is there something about the fire that was avoidable? There are really no details given - a real non-story. Perhaps this part of a PR campaign to signal how government takes this sort of thing

Great article - captures my understanding and sentiments exactly. There's nothing wrong with technology. But if the whole emphasis is extractive, taking from those with only a little power and wealth, for the benefit of those who have

What's happening globally? Presumably you mean the climate anomalies. Presumably its when it says "for when". But this is another way of saying 'not now, perhaps in the future'. The words relate to the future, bu

Yes. If you think about it, the individual is being subjected to a man in the middle attack, cleaving a creator from their creation via the use of consent agreements for providing a platform. Rent seeking.

My opinion is that the last 40 to 50 years, have been all about entertainment, as a tool of control. Are cars better, planes, houses....? Only marginally. I don't even want sensors to tell me my car has this or that issue, lol. But w

I don't get why solar is so popular. In more northern regions, you get much less light in the winter. You effectively can only generate around one tenth of the energy you can in the summer - this is from experience talking to others w

Thank you for your link. It seems you have missed my point though. Your example strongly supports my thesis that this event requires a media analysis. From your linked article: > It was in 1951 that BBC radio and the Ministry of Agricul
