as ive said many times the key will be taking out the internet

of course that also means, we can no longer communicate with each other. How are we going to keep in contact?

do you have any carrier pigeons?

None. See they made us all dependent on the email. Now we are in a mess. No one knows how to write a letter anymore. My last letter writing friend died 5 years ago, and joked that in 30 years from now no one would be able to read them anymore, because they don't teach children cursive anymore ! How right she was.

Smart parents and grandparents teach their children cursive writing and how to send a card. I use a landline and call as much as I can before texting or emailing. I started paying all my bills in person with cash and it feels nice talking to a live person. It does take getting into the habit, but the rewards are worth it. This also saves jobs for humans. There will be an alternate internet for us to use, because the techies on our side will make sure we are not in the dark.

I have a landline too. I have a cell phone only because of family overseas. When they are no longer there, the cell phone goes. I hate it. Looking forward to an alternative internet, because what there is now, is not good.

“Smart” control in this context, e.g., economy, environment, society means pre-programmed decision matrices, and, therefore, not really “smart” but driven by a specific set of pre-selected, , input parameters and desirable (to a select few) values assigned to such parameters in order to achieve certain goals. The intelligent part comes from feed-back loops for refining the decision matrices, but in this case refining to meet desired objects of control. “Smart” in all the contexts here, and there are many, is simply a synonym for monitored control via pre-selected criteria to insure a pre-planned outcome - control. Tried to make it as clear as I could, not necessarily achieving it.

Those I know well are favorable to what commies impose... I am alone, but want to help. I am not connected but I love America, vulnerable and despise commies

Funny the image looks like the nuclear one. Maybe it's dangerous to our health?

Yes, and was going to answer your edited point re: The Abolition of Man. The postmodern movement took The Green Book arguments to the next level of subjectivism and relativism and revisionism such that we now have CRT and PC etc.

Perhaps all the 'plain speak' was too much for your BA brain because my brain, sans BA, could tolerate this piece. Sure, it was long but like he said at the end; there's WAY more to say on this subject. Maybe you could try again or chunk it down into several, bite-sized pieces? It's definitely worth the effort! :)
