Guys, I gotta say, I'm in my late 40s. My ex-husband, a physicist, and I were quite involved in the "internet" and PRE-GUI, when The Cuckoo's Egg was a guide book.
Does it REALLY surprise you that all of ~this~ is being used to track your behavior, your social structures, your spending habits, your desires??? We were given an amazing tool. You HAD to know there was a price to pay, if only because there was money to be made!! I honestly am a little scared if this is a NEW red pill to you.
Don't get me wrong. I love the trip and am learning a lot, too. I just hope little of this was a surprise.
Are people HERE still taking red pills?
