I didn't come here for a lecture in communism.
This is the way big business has wanted us to live for years. Ignore all the flummery about utopian living blah blah blah and look at what it actually does.
It concentrates humans into one large space. It exclude us from the outside world. It allows us to be filed, surveilled and controlled.
Look at what something actually does rather than what they tell you it does. look at what it does and chances are, that is what it will have been designed for.
Look at Amazon, Google. Look at smartphones. They are sold to us as aspirational lifestyle choices that enrich and make our lives easier. And they do, to a degree.
But look at what they actually do; observe, surveil, track, monitor, harvest data, sell our data. That’s what they are designed to do.
Look at what something actually does, not what we are told it does.
“I’d like to take a walk outside today”
“I’m sorry sir, the gates need to be kept locked today”
“Why’s that”?
“You don’t need to know, Sir”
“I’d like to visit family in Sector 5 today”
“I’m sorry sir, we believe residents of Sector 5 shouldn’t mix with those of Sector 1. And you don’t have enough travel creds for this exceat, Sir. Please return to your allocated sector”
It’s a no from me.

A conspiracy theory... I'm in.
Ha!
It’s not a conspiracy theory, it’s just how tech and large corporate works. It’s no secret. And following logically on from how they operate now, it’s not a great leap to imagine them wanting us to live in concentrated areas.
It’s a theory based on what we see already. Not a conspiracy theory based on YouTube, an eighth of cheap hash and too little sleep.
"This is the way big business has wanted us to live for years" = a.k.a. big business is conspiring against us = conspiracy theory
No thanks. I’m not getting sucked into your a depressing, stoner, pizza box world again.
Alrighty, I respect that, my fellow conspiracy theorist.

The Eloi are happy, carefree people who live above the earth's surface, eating fruit and basking in the sun, while the Morlocks lurk in the underground and shadows, hiding from light and only venturing out of their dark habitats to capture and feed on the Eloi race.

170km long and not one boozer. It’s like a prison.
Well I don't think its me, but some days it ****ing feels like it is.
Like the rest of the country……….
I was approached a while back (at least a year ago) about doing some consultancy work for NEOM (putting policies in place to cover some aspects of regulation and corporate governance) by a headhunter who I know well who has a practice in the ME. Timing didn’t work for me but sounded like an interesting project to at least work on (and the money would have been silly).

My daughter doesn’t know it yet but I’m planning to live in there back garden after I’ve built a cabin in it …so I can survive old age ..it’s payback time for all the baby sitting/child minding..collecting from school etc
