I really like the calmness of Substack, not having the distractions of adverts or new posts, feeling closer to the experience of reading a paperback book 😌 than a ‘Smart Surveillance Monitoring Reporting Device’.
Recently I have succumbed to being a vessel within the ocean of noise online, dialectically spreading awareness of the censorship and the concerns with the push for CBDC, which so many are silent and unaware of.
Getting back to my old stoic-self, stepping away from SMART technology is something I am well aware is healthy for me, often reminiscing on the era before SMART controlled (human) zombies. Digital IDs it appears are inevitable though, with many succumbing to the convenience of technology without question?
Thanks for the lovely words! It's a very tricky balance right now and glad you are finding a path through. And yes, digital IDs will be here very soon. In Portugal it is illegal to move around without your passport or biometric ID. Strange times.

Sorry to hear that, I wasn’t aware of that in Portugal. I think a lot of people are going to have a big shock in the UK, being unaware of the W.E.F/ GPPP plans of changes to come.
Don’t need to watch Sci-fi films now that dystopia is coming to our doorsteps. The film Equilibrium is one that comes to mind the most.
Well Lou, as you know I have always been grumpy, regardless of age: now I am a grump with wisdom. Great to see you here. Don’t forget to subscribe so you can regularly bathe in the light of this accumulated erudition.
Love all that; thought provoking, thank you x
Thank you so much. Great to virtually meet you!

Love that film!!!
You've always liked a note book!! I still use the same theory.
With regards to old cyber posts....you've got many new ones to make...here's to your latter, grumpy, opinionated 60's 🤘💖
