- Comment on When society completely transitions to cash-less, what happens when the power goes down? End of the world? 9 hours ago:
Okay so. Say. There is 2 weeks without power, sudden and unannounced, unpredicted power outage. How will you get food and stuff?
So if people can’t get essential stuff, there would be fear, and with fear, riots are likely to happen. Doesn’t matter how “civilized” or “developed” a country is, everyone has their breaking point.

There’s too much lies in the world, I kinda developed a sort of “solipcistic” view of the world.
If I never witnessed it, I categorize it as “potentally false”.
Anything beyond my immediate sorroundings could just be a stage. I could be in a truman show with everything I see being a deception, or in other terms “propaganda”.
I’m not saying that everything isn’t real, I just feel like that possibility should be entertained, to keep in mind as a potential possible explanation of what appears to be reality. Just as how a nation can lie to its people about reality, even the people closest to you, your parents, could also just be liars as well.
People never question if they are, in fact, the biological children of their parents, and just assume they are. That is another form of “propaganda”. People just accept their parent’s words as truth.
Propaganda is certainly everywhere. You cannot be sure what is real, other than the fact that “you” exist, in some form.

So… my phone was out of battery, so I pulled out my power bank and connected to my phone, then I instinctively said, loudly:
“BOMB PLANTED”
Now the entire plane is staring at me like I’m some sort of criminal.

Probably nothing revolutionary.
But if you don’t believe the propaganda, you’d probably enjoy life more.
For example: there literally a list of steam games that some far-right nutjob compiled that declares a lot of games to be “Woke” or “DEI”. Imagine how much fun they miss out on because they are so far up the kool aid cult and actually refuses to play those games.
And other times, it can save you from a lot of misery and perhaps save your life. See: Anti-Vax and Anti-Science propaganda. If you are able to see through that bullshit, you wouldn’t die from a stupid horse dewormer or other psudoscience crap.
“You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind.” -Mahatma Gandhi
The fight might not be right here, right this moment, but you can pass along the torch, the spirit.
Teach your children to be skeptical of the authorities, and be vigilent of propaganda. If they are getting involved in a “Hitler Youth” equivalvent, you’d intervene and stop them.
Treach kindness and empathy, but also decisiveness when the time comes to stand against injustice.
And also, pick your fights carefully, do not do this alone. Do not become a foolish dead hero, become a successful revolutionary. (Underground Movements)
Don’t let them imprison your mind.

I mean, honestly, I’m questioning if anything my parents told me is even real, or is it just exaggerated to make themselves seem like great parents in order to diminish my view on their toxicity.
It’s hard to distinguish between what’s a genuine doubt from a conspiracy theory.
That’s the thing with people.
Some have zero skepticism, and believe everything they see.
Others are overly skeptical and distrusts everything, including science.
It’s hard to find the right balance.

How else are you suppose to show the difference between a male cat and female cat? Show their butt holes on camera?

I feel like cashless societies would be in chaos.
ahem China 👀
I wonder if they would ever add an “offline mode” to the Wechat Pay thing. I mean atleast society can, sort of, function for a few hours running on powerbanks.
