RE: Mad Max Digital World

Alright Dan 👋

I'm not sure how Mad Max we're truly going to get IRL with this CV thing, but digitally, yeah... I can see what you're saying. Also what you're saying about government control and web 2.0 funneling info/data to keep old paradigms of control going... that has been going on right under peoples noses for far too long.

Shit, governments all over the world are already using this global health crisis to drive censorship agendas and perform social conditioning. For me, the important thing at this time (apart from looking after my own health and that of my loved ones) is to keep eyes wide open, not be drawn into a culture of fear I see being driven home through advertising etc and be ready to live fully, and as you say, fight for freedom after the health crisis is over. Because these will be the first message that we'll all be hit with once this is over by governments across the world.

What if it happens again?
We have to be vigilant.
You have to give up some of your freedoms for safety.

Fucking life is too short for that type of thinking. Fear always has been, and will increasingly be used to divide and conquer. But public blockchain is that paradigm shift! Not just over censorship issues, but also what our society values (this is why I'm so driven to keep the curation to content wide, varied and quality here on hive) and the wealth stolen from us in the form of our data.

And it is a paradigm shift... as you put it "we do it in a non-violent way, we turn the other cheek from web 2.0"

Is fckn right! I love that.

For each and every person to be able to fight back against these controls of data mining, censorship, or just being able to flip the value of what you create from companies using you as a commodity, to you being a commodity they need to court. To be able to resist (and win) without violence, and distribute value without centralized government, that's paradigms on top of paradigms toppling right there.

Lol, I can tell you've been watching Vikings btw. I binge watched those series ages ago and it is one of the best historical drama series out there.
