I don’t think it’s smartphones, I think it’s the fact that the entire ecosystem of our most used apps is a walled garden. Our entire experience is made up of proprietary corporate apps. We have little choice to change or create our own information flows - everything is dictated by hidden code/algorithms. If I can’t see the code, I am not the one doing the controlling, I am being controlled. The most detrimental app we all use - banking and money creation, is the most hidden and unchallenged one so far. We’re still using the legacy Industrial Age money and banking system.

I think it’s time that we evolve to a more compassionate world.

What does the ‘More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible’ (Charles Eisenstein) look like to you?

Does having a closed source system for our communication, banking and governance tools help keep the ‘smartest’ people at the helm, or is this grandiosity and immature magician energy? Does it create an oppressor, victim and savior triangle?
