so, 47-53….
those are chapters in the book?
the tech boom encompassed the entire 1st world, and it was like a tsunami. you bought something expensive, like a computer for a couple thousand bucks, and it was obsoleted in a year.
i learned basic programming - was obsolete when the Mac appeared 2 years later. learned VB programming, was obsolete when internet took off. MCSE is like toilet paper.
just to keep up in business world was like working 1.5-2 regular jobs. so not sure if pacified is the right word here anon.
my feeling, looking back on the whole thing, is we were inundated, swamped, overcome with the amount of knowledge required to switch from paper to electronic.
even now, things are still not completely shifted - just in the 1st world countries.
if you consider that, then pacified isn't the right word.
and now they want to try and scare us with robots and AI - dumbfux.
9-5 jobs were a blessing after the shit with Jimmy Carter and the oil embargo.
hard for you to imagine, but my first mortgage was @ 14% interest and that was a good deal at the time.
the term "human resources" is new - back then we called it "personnel".
we thought CNN was a revolution, because we only had ABC/CBS/NBC before cable hit.
it was sooo fucking easy for people to control media back then - nothing happened in real time, and the delays in comms made it so simple for them to collude on narrative, even allowing them time to make nuanced differences.
today - they must have the talking points because it moves like waves across the webz.
i view this as ok, because i believe that without the digital revolution and the internet, cabal would be as firmly in control today as it was in the 1970's and 1980's.
internet is like kudzu - cabal cannot maintain control
