No Country For Free Men

What matters after food, clothing, shelter, health and financial and social security? Many people don't realise it but it is freedom and privacy, and for some they might even be the first two things to matter. The next few decades are going to be crucial, because people, ultimately would realise that there is neither freedom nor privacy, and then they would have to choose, die free or live as slaves. Free souls can be made to live, and the only method to make them live is by blackmailing them with the well being of their loved ones. I discovered slavery by serendipity and it is then I realised that there is neither freedom, nor privacy. This country is going to be a special case study in the next few decades. The game is not complex, it's giving perks to selected individuals to enslave people, and blackmailing and intimidating the others. It's a mediaeval arrangement with everything taken care of. People like me who were imagining flying cars in the future while watching Discovery Channel in late 90s and early 2000s hadn't imagined in their wildest dreams that that future would be like living in a penal colony, with an illusion of complete freedom while the truth being that each and every aspect of lives of people gets manipulated by incompetent gatekeepers. I assume that the narrative for every level of existence is different, probably I just couldn't make it to the level where the narrative of my life matches my mindset. The machine knows you, but it only knows the superficial details. Let me free you right now by telling that the machine and the individuals who are in the machine can never know you, despite knowing everything about you, even the colour of your underwear and how many times you masturbate in a week. The machine will first pose that it knows all about you, and then it will pose it knows you to intimidate you. The truth is only the people who love you can know you and no one else. Love is a force, the most powerful and gentle force and so it's being systematically destroyed. Families are being broken, people prevented from finding their soulmates. All of that so that you focus on picking the metaphorical cotton. People are resource and it's this resource that's being exploited, for power, for pleasure, and it would continue. I hope to live the next couple of decades to see the drama unfold, to see if people realise that they are still picking cotton, it's just that the slavery has gone even deeper. The good news is that it cannot go any deeper.
