Just another way to dehumanize us by integrating us into a digital system. Insane that anyone would swallow this

Locally here in MD we are embroiled (sp) with plans for high electric transmission lines across 3 counties to feed 2 data centers. The thought that comes to my mind is ' Just what kind of data are they planning to house there'?

In recent weeks, I've received a series of calls from purported reps of my state's health department, purportedly to conduct a survey on health of state residents. They have left voice messages inviting me to call them. I have my doubts about whether this is really the state. But even if I knew it to be so, I'd try to resist the temptation to tell them in all the spectacular fury I can muster that my health is none of the state's damned business.

I ignore any health care marketing calls, or invitations to partake in surveys-! I have better things to do & spend my time, like pulling weeds or laundry! Ha-Ha!

Health department is an evil joke. These folks wish to remove the genitalia of your sons and daughters. Why? Why? To destroy Americans and replace us with weak gangsters from the 15 millions of illegal aliens.

You could definitely resist such a temptation better than me - I'd be answering the phone and telling them it's none of their business every time they called until the message sunk in.

If the calls really were from the state, a request for the calls to stop would probably work, although they might try to persuade regarding supposed benefits of the survey. But I've posted comment here before about my working theory - that tele-fraudsters have not one but two aims. First, to exploit victims for some time of financial gain, and second, as a means of harassment and demoralization. I have several times noted calls with the same auto-message that, no matter how many times I vented on their *press 1 for representative,* they continued to call over and over again. If it were only about money, I'd expect them to record my negative response and move on in search of another patsy.

I have changed from a step counter with Wi-Fi connection to a simpler version without this feature. Counting steps definitely motivates me to move more, but I am trying to eliminate EMF exposure. I carry my phone in my back pocket but have ordered some Faraday fabric to make a pouch. The way almost everyone today sits reading a phone very close to endocrine system organs just cannot be good for the future.

If I tell my iPhone that I feel suicidal, will it automatically dial the suicide prevention hotline for me or will it direct me to an assisted suicide center?

Depends on if you identify as Conservative or Liberal.

Sublime snark, with so much truth to it that I laughed out loud, then shook my head.

I think the health apps are but a small part of a much bigger agenda. Who doesn't love a yellow school bus? Who doesn't think unknown strangers are so concerned about our health and wellbeing they must track us? Even as the big names we know are open about needing to reduce world population. To save the earth. Or something. We are being conditioned to stop thinking independently. Period. Hubs and I have a 45 minute drive to our weekend lake house. About 30 minutes into the lovely rural ride, a gentle pinging noise sounds. It is the car suggesting that Hubs take a break from driving. Yep. Can't make this stuff up.

I am and will continue to think for myself, even if it goes against the stream of unconsciousness. I am old so I can make this choice. It's my grands and great grand I grieve for - having to survive in a world where all you are is a means to an end.

I do all of my running errands, & house chores, & even turn any appliances & TV”On/Off”. No smart listening devices in my home-the damn cell is the only listening device I have. I also worry about my grand children growing up in this fast-paced, high technological world! Seems like my adult children are updating their cell devices once a year now!

I decided long ago psychiatry is mostly a "racket." Added to the fact that through my work the last 40 years+ I've known many such doctors and all, literally 100%, were alcoholics and/or manic depressives or schizo themselves. Scary. There's only one caveat to that that I've found so far, see *.

Which is really sad because the people who truly need help aren't getting good help.

*Caveat - Except for some Christian counselors and psychologists I've come to know over the years. Not a one has been unbalanced and they teach from biblical principal rather than Freud or "California-popular."

Interesting?

I read somewhere that the majority of mental health providers were liberals. It is worse than I thought. God save our children.

I am thankful that my adult children grew up in a pre-cellphone world.

Somehow my iPhone knows when I wake up and I don’t have any related apps. Within a few seconds of opening my eyes, I hear the alert tone with new daily messages. Once I realized I was being trained like Pavlov's dogs to start each day by grabbing my phone first thing, I started turning it off completely.

I also put my cell on a night stand, & set the “silent mode on”. I don’t want my sleep interrupted!

I dumped my iPhone two years ago and never looked back. I hope Elon gets his phone and search engine out REALLY soon. My trust in him went up exponentially after his Trump endorsement.

I’m curious if Apple ever has introspection of its policy of prying into people’s lives through their phone data. It’s so invasive and authoritarian to think a company, many pay thousands of dollars too, is making a profit off of their data never mind trying to profit off your mental status. This is why we need to search for alternatives and make these intrusive companies pay for their intrusive nature. My personal observation of Apple is the management there have an authoritarian complex, which basically gives them a seat at the psychological table of the tyrant, and as all tyrants do they look at people as a commodity.

Medical AI will replace most medical professionals with the benefactor being Big Pharma. Plain as day. Medical data mining to identify individuals who can be convinced to be put on SSRI's and etc. See it already with Lilly and Pfizer by passing the pharmacy to push their RX drugs. Amazon is jumping in too! Physician employees are being graded on how many injections they are pushing. Identifying negative life style habits and correcting more important than ever to stay healthy and out of the clutches of Big Medicine.

Thanks for this. I’ve trusted Apple any more than anything else on the internet. I use the step thing but nothing else as I’m sure that they’re stealing the data and using it somehow. Remember: “there ain’t no such thing as a free lunch.”

Ooops….left out a key word: I’ve NOT trusted Apple.

I agree, ditch the SSRIs. Is it possible that the goal is to get as many people on these drugs as possible for both profit and to take away their 2nd Amendment rights? That’s where I think this is probably going. I do think they’d run into Constitutional issues with Due Process. There would be a whole lot of people who would drop their meds or not seek help if the leftists chose that route. The ‘Take a pill’ dogma needs to stop.

I've never had an i-phone and don't see one in my future. Never was on Twitter (X), nor on Facebook. Looks like my distrust turned out to be forward-looking.

Me too, Gary. My flip phone has internet capability but I've never turned it on. I'm just happy not having to search for a pay phone and dig for quarters.

I often feel a bit odd--my flip phone is essentially just a phone--it is only a smart phone to the extent that Verizon used that to cancel my cheap "lifetime guaranteed" rate and triple it (so far). They can push apps--I cannot load them myself.

We switched from AT&T to Verizon when we moved to a more rural area 2+ years ago. But the Verizon bill got too big and we switched to Pure Talk and are happy with the service at a much lower rate.

Expand full comment

I have had bad luck in this arena as well as a couple of others where I sign up for "cheap", sometimes "lifetime" services which then get acquired by another company and wipe out my benefits. I don't even remember how many times I have been changed by bank acquisitions without having actually moved my account.

Agreed Gary! My baby brother (64) went to Heaven in May 2023. They memorialized his Facebook page. Still can get pictures from it if his friend. This year my niece sent me a picture of a piece of heavy equipment being sold in California by him! I had to put a watch on his personal information that is due to the AT&T breach. My lawyer said I had to do so. I couldn’t even answer the 5 questions because we didn’t share our personal lives with each other! Hello!

I feel like if we watched this as a scene in a sci-fi movie (such as Logan's Run, a film made in the 1970s for example) we would acknowledge that it is very dystopian. And yet, here we are in the 21st century and consumers are lapping these features and "surveillance crapitalism" devices up. Speaking of, whenever a millennial talks about someone they "matched with" on a dating app (and show me, often some beach bod posing polyamorously) I think of that scene in Logan's Run where sex-partners are teleported on demand into one's utopian suite. "How do you feel about them?"...

Another way to look at this is just one more reinforcement that we NWO serfs should allocate all of our mental capacity to simply monitoring our own feelings (i.e. mindfulness, either analog or digitally facilitated), without ever asking why so much infrastructure is enacted to manipulate our feelings. This "plushie" mentality is reinforced across the board now, but cannot facilitate the pursuit of uncomfortable truths, nor promote critical (and objective) discourse (because that would be outside the scope of subjective feelings, and thus uncomfortable). On this anesthetizing front, it's very Huxleyan, and of course Orwellian too in terms of the invasion of privacy aspects.

Admittedly uncharacteristic (and much to the chagrin of my father), I wore an Apple Watch for one year (2021) to keep track of my pandemic walks and such. The "wearable" was kind of fun, just to watch the little circles close as I cleaned the house and whatnot. But after realizing this was not only radiating my bloodstream (EMF on skin), but also transmitting data about my vitals all the while providing one more microphone for Big Data to tap into... I trashed it.

Lastly, don't forget Apple's covid-contact feature that they released, I think in 2020, patched into their "Health" app. The devil reminds us of what he owns – their logo is a bitten apple of forbidden knowledge, as I write this using a browser whose logo is a blue dot (the earth) encircled by three six's (i.e. the sign of the beast). Alas, I digress about "Chrome"... Zounds!

All I use on my Iphone is the fitness app, and only for workouts. Then it goes back in the Faraday bag so it isn't recording anything else. It's got some great features as a workout tool that I like, but the rest of it? Too invasive. Just because you have it, doesn't mean you should use it! We all need to think very carefully about these technology enticements they present to us. Most often they are a trap!
