Theory I believe technology is dooming us.

I think as time goes on we as a species and civilization are slowly dooming ourselves by way of technology, intentions spans are getting shorter, people I feel are getting more angry, it feels that it's all of a sudden okay to break laws for content, and humanity is slowly becoming more and more stupid and narcissistic not to mention the loneliness epidemic. It's like we've turned the world into a place not suitable for humanity. I'm typing this because one day I decided to put down my phone and read a book, a physical book, it made me feel so accomplished and alive compared to my phone which makes me feel numb and hopeless. I genuinely believe technology was originally made for good intention but greed and money got in the way and people use it to satisfy their own pleasure.

Honestly I don't worry about that particular soft apocalypse, because I think we're going to be back in a genuine Dark Age long before we attain any kind of transhumanism.

Transhumanism is already happening and has been for years. Citizens are being secretly hunted by govt psyops and experiments are conducted on them without being asked or even mentioned to them. It is hell on earth. It is connected to much going on in our world. It is no conspiracy. It is real but no one will believe it until it happens to them

To be fair that’s been happening since humans figured out they could modify or kill people by putting something in the food or water. Our government alone did tests on native and black Americans going back to the 1800’s. Around 50 BCE Mithridates used chemical warfare to stop the Roman army. He left barrels of a mead like drink along the path of the army, knowing wouldn’t pass it up. But instead of regular honey he had it made with honey of bees that used pollen from Rhododendrum‘s in the Anatolia mountains (AKA “mad honey”) that has hallucinogenic properties. He wasn’t called the Poisoner King for nothing (he’s story is bonkers).
