Deprogrammer9on The mistake of yearning for the 'friendly' online world of 20 years ago

I've been online since 89. Absolutely nothing has really changed just the number of people involved. Most people are cool some are fucked up & now a lot are puppet accounts trying to control the narrative of whatever the current zeitgeist is at the time. But thats whats so great about the global networks it can't be controlled. The best "they" (agents) can do is to get a large amount of people to believe bullshit PR spin. Shit like the internet isn't a friendly place. It's whatever you want it to be, it's all in how you engage with people & groups online. The same applies as when you walk out your door.

Deprogrammer9on The Final Speech from The Great Dictator (1940)

Chaplin was an anarchist he was against capitalism & it will fully fail soon probably due to AI ect.

Deprogrammer9on The Final Speech from The Great Dictator (1940)

This part is very interesting. "Even now my voice is reaching millions"

Chaplin knew this message was for future generations. When he says "even now" it means, hey im long dead but this message is finally being herd around the world.

Chaplin & Nikola Tesla were friends. Tesla told Chaplin what was to come down the line like the internet, what he called "the transmission of intelligence" I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Tesla himself didn't write this speech.

"The scientific man does not aim at an immediate result. He does not expect that his advanced ideas will be readily taken up. His work is like that of the planter — for the future. His duty is to lay the foundation for those who are to come, and point the way." - Nikola Tesla

Deprogrammer9on Who makes the most reliable new cars?

We should do away with the automobile. We could plan & design a far better system that totally removes cars from our lives.
