humanity is 300k years old and we've been online for only 30 years. the erosion of privacy today will have lasting consequences for hundreds, maybe thousands of years to come. if we don't fight for privacy today, we won't be able to fix it in the distant future. this scares me.

Never know which side of a double edged sword ends up being the sharpest.
GM NOstr Unfortunately, the layperson just doesn't understand enough concepts in general. Most of you still probably use a basic Android or Apple device. One could also argue many just don't care until they need to. Humans just make their will and lives more difficult. They don't do anything about most things and a government or corporation comes in and takes advantage of the situation. If you don't lead yourself, you will be led. It's the same argument that poor people are arguably the biggest disaster for humanity. Keep people poor, and you can keep walking all over them. If most people are poor and busy dealing with that then governments and shady corporations can make the rules. View quoted note โ†’

You're ๐Ÿ’ฏ% correct, but it goes so much further. We're not socially evolved enough for (especially mainstream) social media. Our bodies aren't evolved to sit still for this long every day. Our communities aren't evolved enough to comprehend a state ruling over millions. Our primitive trade brains aren't evolved to understand global flows of wealth. We must fight against the centralization/globalization of all these things.

Humans started out with no privacy due to the extremely hostile environment and our constant dependency on eachother for daily survival. I'm guessing the idea of privacy is something that comes and goes throughout history and like today is reserved for the "upper-class".
Yeah, we must make #privacy cool and easy so the youth embraces it and rebels against the forces that are doing everything possible to control them
Better go on pods, and tell eveybody of your FIAT Dr. Title! super scary
You mean "know"? Ironic. And the passive aggressive "god bless you" is not a Christian way to speak. You wanna be a Christian, demand better from yourself. You want stuff to be easy? Too bad. That's not what you signed up for. Following Christ means following logos. Go look up what that means. You are **_required_** to use your brain, not parrot retarded garbage.
You are distracting from the topic. Ones again the very specific definition of a day of creation. There is not much room for interpretation. โ€žAnd there was evening and there was morning, a second day.โ€œ Genesis 1,8
That's a good point. And part of why I want people to find it themselves is because I have a tendency to remember the Greek in some places because I usually look for a breakdown in Greek. This could be an instance if that. I don't memorize verses, I just go back to the source, get the meaning, use symbology if its in the old testament (NT has symbology too, but not as much), then move on. Ain't got no time for memorizing numbers! And its good to present the perpetual choice to them : think, or be prideful. Queue the "two masters" parable.
But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever says to his brother, โ€˜You good-for-nothing,โ€™ shall be 1guilty before the supreme court; and whoever says, โ€˜You fool,โ€™ shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell.ย  Matthew 5,22
All I read was 300k, so that is your end of year price target? Love it.
Hell ya, good call out, but I think itโ€™s a little more than 6k, why do you say 6k?

We stand at a unique point in history. For the first time, total surveillance is possible. Our resistance now determines whether humanity remains free.
Sure, but even in a tribe of 10 people dealing with other tribes of similar size is not like everyone automatically knows everything about what you've said or done. Most importantly there was no institution that could peek into all of your transactions by simply checking database entries.

The intelorant few can still make a difference. Buckle up!
treat private data like toxic waste. don't produce it and if you must, better have a plan for how to secure it.

Isn't it clear already? Humans have always found a way to make everything kaput, and with technology advancing it's accelerating. And if only it's going to be AI robots realizing that they don't need their human overlords, or those stupids entangling in WW3, but there are so many other ways how this could end. ๐Ÿ˜ต
No it's not clear already, this is your opinion. We should have been dead multiple times by now, which does not mean I'm excluding the possibility of it happening in the future: I'm simply taking it for what it is, namely a possibility.
The problem with that is that "freeple" will be maybe 1-5 % of the amount of "sheeple". No network effect, no wealth, as the rest wouldn't want to trade with "terrorists" and whatever they come up with. And no defense if they were to decide the "freeple" are a serious threat. This is not a viable way alone. Advocacy, lobbying, etc. is also required. And most of all information, not many even know that things are being planned, at least here in EU.
That's essentially impossible. Either resistance succeeds, at least in some part of the world that remains free(er), or it's 100%, minus the elites who control it. If not shortly, within 20 years.
Honedt question @calle from a bitcoiner. What do you think of using Monero for transactions ? Keeping one's savings in btc and using monero to transact privately when accepted ? @Cake Wallet makes it very easy.
Yes. I agree. The problem is the definition... Government types think it means "registered and paid up" to be legally enforceable, if disputed by the public. These types love to say "You're not free!" because they want to be the middleman to collect and protect your privacy (aka property, ownership, rights, etc)... Toilet-using types think it means "don't look" (aka secrecy). Egalitarians, like JFK, hated secrecy and found it to be repugnant when used for covert means. Technology and encryption give us the hope that the role of privacy enforcers can be subsumbed into the trustworthy, unbiased, cold and mechanistic gears of uncaring maths and machines, but this idea of complete autonomy and primacy at the undividual's level, scares the living daylights out of authoritarian types. Not only will they lose their jobs, but new and untold possibilities will emerge for EVERYONE. This pandoric panic drives authoritarians to seek control of the internals of the machine in order to decipher and rewrite the encryption keys to our Freedom. As the immense gravity of technology pulls the apex of the pyramid down into the ground plane of commonality, the all-seeing eye will either be blinded at the ecliptic or sink lower to stare at us from below, in the underworld. Perhaps the inversion has already happened and we are fighting to level the playing field back to the ecliptic plane of fairness and rightness.

One big solution... Is it possible to break or crack earth's magnetic field? If yes, then this can be a solution. To stop surveillance we should shutdown internet, to shutdown whole internet we need to dismantle satelites, to kill all satelites we need to disturb magnetic field. Win : No internet, No surveillance, no control. Drawback : We will go back in stone ages, and restart. I'm just being delusional here. Btw: Scientist already noticed some cracks in Earth's magnetic field.
It's a catch 22. If the current system were to actively block any information of the new, or even punish those who spread it, either legally or technically, the new can't bootstrap. And if allowed to continue without protest, I'm sure they'll sooner or later find a way to mandate ISP:s to block and/or report usage of the new system.
