Dear Friends,
It seems to me, one thing that’s being proved before our eyes, is that digital anything isn’t secure, robust or safe. Whenever anything is made digital it’s become less secure, in that it’s exposed to hackers getting at it, and making that data public. Less robust, since it can be changed at the push of a button. Plus, it’s less reliable, because we simply don’t know if anything digital is truthful anymore. The rational default should be… no, if it appears digitally, it’s probably a lie, and if the government says it, it’s definitely a lie. A road to Hell, always leads to Hell. That’s why we need to push back against the Hegelian manipulation that’ll be used to push digital currency. How can we expect digital currency to go different, than digital voting, banking or healthcare? We can’t. CBDCs will be a nightmare.
Digital voting has been a total catastrophe. When the ballots were on paper, verifiable and hand counted, the results were in within an hour of the polls closing. Even as digital has ushered in an age where it can take days. Now that’s efficiency… or is it? With digital voting, the results are subject to change, depending on the whims of the hackers that find their way into the machines. Of course, with digital voting, there’s no need of voter ID… digital has made the whole thing a theater anyway. Electronic voting has taken political agency from citizens and placed it in the hands of the elite. As the elite did with freedom of speech, jury sentencing and contacting our representatives free through the mail. We can say that digital voting has alleviated us of the burden of blame. Since it makes us pawns.
Social media is censored and politically correct ideas are promoted by digital magic. Rendering our ability to communicate subject to political intervention. To make sure we only talk about approved subjects in the approved manner. Else the elite claim we’re engaging in misinformation, disinformation, or maybe even malinformation. Call ’em what you will, they all mean, wrongthink. In promoting the power of the elite the digital age has been a demon send. It can make a lie appear to be reality. Digital technology has made surveillance, categorizing people and censoring, far more efficient. While it’s made communicating betwixt each other fraught with legal ramifications. Again, the introduction of digital technology to voting and communication has made them less secure, less safe and less reliable.
If we go to a doctor… Our personal information is on the Dark Web, or soon will be, due to the incessant hacking done to digital servers. You don’t even have had to do business with a company for them to have all your personal information… dangling on an unsecured server. Just waiting to be plucked by a smart hacker and sold on the Dark web. Soon, it’ll be impossible to take out a loan because we won’t be able to identify ourselves… short of DNA, retinal scan or a fingerprint. Instead of facilitating commerce, the introduction of digital technology has introduced a myriad of security concerns. There’s no denying digital technology has unburdened us of the need to think though. Weakening our minds accordingly. As any muscle left flaccid long enough becomes weak.
Instead of making information more credible, accessible and truthful, the digital revolution has made information more dangerous, unsecured, censored and manipulated. Given the history of digitizing things… can you imagine the utter catastrophe a digital currency would be? Combining the disaster of digital voting, with the censorship of social media, along with a total lack of personal security. The trifecta of prosperity liquidators. Then again, there are those who think, just because an action has always resulted in the same outcome… doesn’t mean it will, this time. Like jumping off a cliff… eventually, someone might sprout wings and fly. Wouldn’t that be great! Digital technology could make it appear to happen, as the bodies are hauled off. Maybe we should rethink the digital revolution?
Sincerely,
John Pepin
