Thoughts on the information age.

~kebabmaster

Bartender, I would like to tip you... but with monero... and not CBDC coffee.

So, I have just eaten my self-made milkshake made from blueberries and bananas. And a greedy thought has come to my mind, that this highly processed food that we buy in our shops, could be replaced by our own self-made food. Well, it doesn't sound like a big discovery at first, it seems rather very obvious to everyone. Even despite the other widely known fact that most of us still go to restaurants, or eat other kinds of shit (drugs, smokes, or some drinks).

However, my interest in this idea went deeper when I also realized that I am 20 years old, and I wouldn't be able to make this drink if I had never been taught how to make a similar thing. I think I belong to the Gen Z people, and as a member of this group, I think that this scheme of not being taught useful skills by our parents may be common. Throughout my life, my parents could teach me things such as reading, writing, math... general hygiene discipline, some social behavior/tricks... and... Honestly I have never thought about it.

I don't know exactly how technological progress has been going throughout history, but I think I can safely state that most of us have learned how to use a computer alone. And perhaps that's the thing that kinda distinguishes us from the older generations. But now, as we enter the so-called "age of information", more and more people may start to learn many useful skills through the internet, and not through books or the education system.

This "feature" of our new world can teach us more useful skills. However, it is worth to also mention that constantly learning useful skills can eventually lead many of us to a state where we no longer need any more humans to interact with. If we would assume this as our end goal, then throughout time, many people who work for someone/the government to create a middleman (manufacturer) between the client (me) and the thing that he wants (milkshake), would be put on risk of losing a job/purpose. Simply because the skills that we would learn would allow us to eliminate the middleman. Now, add to that the fact that most of our generation have little or even no social interactions like our parents used to have, and you have a nice reason to start caring for your own ass ("NEETs" to consider).

The consequences of that would be the loss of a reason in life among the older generations. The further consequence of that would probably be higher usage of anti-depressants... such as drugs... which are quite common these days. I know a couple of people who work for the so-called "corpo", and afaik and can see they are on a road to sadness. I have recently started working with my grandpa on some small renovation works for some people, and once upon a time at work, a realization came to my head on why most of the developed countries (except asian) experience an inflow of migrants from undeveloped/poorer countries. Well, my theory is simple. Cheap labor. Or at least, there has been a world full of white-collar jobs, which act as an alternative to blue-collar work, and apparently, the trend might be that the people with a mindset of "developed citizens" no longer want to get their hands dirty, so they opt for the corporate rabbit hole. K, yeah the economy is a much more complex thing than that. So for clarification let me limit also the blue-collar job to something that produces a product/thing that will not be instantly eaten... like a consumption-like service (bartender, cashier, waiter, steward, etc...).

Idk if the world that my parents wanted to live in, was a result of some sort of corporate NWO plan on enslaving others and setting the planners as the kings, but sadly that's how I can see the current situation right now. I won't dive deeper hire but let me leave at least a fact that during the Middle Ages, there was "the rise of Islam era" (src: wikipedia).

So yeah, my generation has the potential to become more independent, the generation of my parents has not. And well, this can create a conflict. AFAIK, it is already happening, some countries have special laws that allow the younger generation to not pay taxes. The consequence of that (which I have heard already happening) is that the new younger people can earn more faster than the older ones. So it can create a gap between the generations.

But the consequence of grabbing someone from power may be a backlash. And I suspect that this may also happen with our governments, which can potentially commit a split to create other separate kinds of law/order. Or perhaps they may sell their propaganda. Well... After all, the responsibility of individuals dies in the group. So there is a chance, that they might act against their citizens.

But going back to the incoming consequences of the information age... The elimination/reduction or implementation of Trustless protocols on the "middle man", may let many people become independent. The independence in itself is also a potential danger for others, which can be solved by some kind of federation, trustless protocols... or maybe even private police (Topic: Private Cities). IDK, I am not an extrovert, and I only talk to people when I may have a similar interest, and nothing else.

So yeah... I guess I would have some propositions on what to do with such a set of information, but I think I will leave here as it is.

Change my mind <))>
