Flock Camera Politics, AoT#503

Flock cameras and data centers are becoming a political thorn in the side of the technocracy on this episode of The Age of Transitions podcast.

The private platforms that have monopolized the whole of internet have us trapped in their system. There are no options to resist, and there is no regulation in sight. All the while, we are being watched by the all-encompassing surveillance grid, owned and operated by the same technocratic elite. That’s right, we just used the term “elite.” It’s one of the buzzwords that they have worked hard to define for themselves, obviously directing all attention away from themselves in doing so. Go to hell, you elite scum bags.

Transient Transhumanist Dissidents, AoT#502

Transhumnists turned anti-Ai and data center activists. What could go wrong? The Age of Transitions podcast.

The transhumanists of yesteryear, today have somehow found their way to the center of the anti data center / AI political scene.

Had Enuff of Putin’s Propaganda, AoT#501

Putin falls out of favor, China takes advantage of the Iran War and Smash Mouth comes back on this episode of The Age of Transitions podcast.

At this point, everyone seems to have had enuff of Vladimir Putin. However, all the grievance narratives in the world aren’t enuff to stop Smash Mouth from churning out the hits.

Soft(ware) Power, AoT#500

The 500th episode of The Age of Transitions podcast is all about world government, technocracy style.

Soft power becoming software power, and the hope is to embed it as the OS for every government in the world. Behind the veneer of the ever-present online propaganda, lies this simple motive. When we talk about new cold wars, national security, or even a world war, this is the prize that all of the power brokers, decision makers, and stakeholders have as their motivation. It isn’t complicated, but it is hidden in a web of synthetic digital complexity that we need to break away from as soon as possible.
