A friend of mine in Utah tells me smart cities are being greatly pushed in that state.

Too much Substack, too little time! I am always glad to have read your pieces, thank you, Lily. "Pseudo-sapients" - glorious term. Tucking it away for future use.

I am fully behind your mission. I have made it my sworn and perpetual mission to fight, disparage, and destroy the anti-human agenda. It has metastasized into multiple tumours of bleakness and doom and is consuming all in its path. The push back needs to be relentless. I will not stand for even the nearest hint of pessimistic, anti-human sentiment any more. My children are going to live free, beautiful lives and I will not accept any of this doomsday drivel trying to depress them into oblivion. It ends. Now. It is imperative that we all push back, in every way.

I stand by you Ann and salute you and Lily both for picking up the gauntlet and take the fight to the anti humanists.

However we are hopelessly out teched in our fight and we need to also gather a troop of skilled technology practitioners and researchers who use technology without oppression - as a tool for benevolence and as a foil and countermeasures to its abuse by these nagi humanists

A balance of power creates the easiest incentive for abuse of power. And with a technological imbalance of the current proportions that we find ourselves in, we can't possibly hope to even out the battle with these technoglobalists. So we must skill in tech and persuade enough tech practitioners to devise countermeasures to the sweeping technocratic agenda that anti humanists use to usurp technology and abuse it.

I couldn't agree with you more, Ankit! While we are fighting for our humanity by living our lives in as human way as possible, for those who are smart and adept at the technical side, we must encourage active and constant subversion of these enslavement processes. I do think we have some incredibly clever and clear-thinking people on our side. That is what gives me hope. We have all gone through a metamorphosis to some extent, while our counterparts have simply been snoozing a fear-addled and propaganda-infused sleep. That, or indulging in decadent or time-wasting pasttimes. When I think of what we have learned these last few years, that can only help us as we face this Borg. We must learn to play them at their own game, but not at the expense of our humanity. That is the challenge.

Also - and we all know this is important - be absolutely unwavering and certain in our non-compliance. There is very little that people can do when faced with a clear and implacable "NO".

Another of Lachlan Robb's works is 'Brain-Computer Interface technology and the law.' Obviously linking our brains to computers is more advanced than I thought!!

Mass surveillance by a watcher in a central watch tower ... An apt precursor to 5G towers total surveillance and now in 2024 satellite surveillance with a huge constellation of low earth orbit satellites being launched. It's verily a prison planet and the anti human globalists don't think of us much as humans - more like hackeable humans.

The social engineering and wide scale manipulation blinds people and the masses keep on installing more satellites cctvs and towers all under the guise of accessibility to music, movies, chats, news , at ever faster speeds and lower latencies. Smart billboards, smart lights, smart meters, smart medicine anything smart is actually to dumb down the masses and clench them in further tightening grasps of this modern city prison

Standing stop the twin pillars of mass imprisonment and mass surveillance their badnwagon rolls on. They dull down the public conscience with repeated bombarding of messages and gradualism that people don't even recognise the freedom and dignity they have lost and that they are being subjected to uncalled for control , teaching, and obedience. This kind of 24*7 policing is neurotic and many are turned into walking zombies and automatons to be minions ofthe high lords of technocracy in even more self perpetuating cycles.

The key is to inject the mass psyche with refreshing energy and enthusiasm to wake up from this slumber of the technocratic opiod system.

I fear not the evil that is out in the open, but the evil that hides amongst us as goodness and harmless addendums. Just what gradualism and propoganda help these elitists befool and mislead the public to.
