Great post, Gabriel, and I especially liked this phrase, "The opposite exists as well too, it’s possible for emancipatory technology to be developed that’s useful to people generally, but fundamentally useless for anyone seeking power over others." That's the key to the 'Too Small to Fail' economic systems I'm designing. How can they be designed so that good ideas can proliferate, but harms done are contained and fixable? It's not an easy question but one we need to be discussing, and on which I have some strong ideas as a starting point.
The technology problems would be moot if we had economic sovereignty, but how can we bring that about if we don't have the ability to plan and talk freely? They both go hand-in-hand.
Love the helpful, practical content alongside the concepts you lay out. The issue as I see it is that people are addicted, their dopamine pathway has been hijacked by the blue light and design of the phone. https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/the-1-emf-youve-forgotten-about
Once people understand how much their children are being hurt by these devices, the tide will turn. Horses and the EMF devices they used at Churchill Downs have already raised eyebrows.
If you're running a basic VPN like Nord, does changing the DNS pathway add any extra security?
When it comes to a VPN at minimum you want to ensure you're doing a DNS leak test (https://nordvpn.com/features/dns-leak-test/) to make sure your queries are going through it. Changing your DNS on top of that would make a difference if your choosing a provider that doesn't log for example.
On my end I'd say it was a gradual thing. I had been noticing and tracking the ramp-up of online censorship and propaganda since the mid 2010s. Following that lead to a line of very troubling discoveries. Though from my perspective, I'd say I hadn't been aware of the intent and scope of the malevolent attack on people until lockdowns began. It certainly shattered the illusions I still held onto.
This has in part informed my approach, I don't need to claim to understand the entire problem to focus on a part of it. No matter what I'd rather live in a world with less information control and more compassion.
Gabriel, thanks so much for your thoughtful reply. It's been gradual for me as well, however my eyes opened in 2012 when I started to go down the rabbit hole of how 911 was a mass satanic ritual (SK Bain) , using numbers and black magic. Now I see it all out in the open, and it is truly breath-taking to behold. However there is so much power that we do have. Currently my deeper research includes how to support the energy body through what's known as Biogeometry, or BG3, to counter the harmful biological effects of non-native EMF.
Not sure what your thoughts are on EMFs as harmful, but I wanted to mention this to you to spread the message.
just wanted to say 'hi' and a big TQ for your substack articles (HT to Gary Sharpe, whose work brought me here). part of the problem is that most of us ('The People') don't quite understand the basics of those new technologies, mainly because it's very technical and we don't even understand the words used to describe it, let alone its manifold consequences. speaking for myself, I tend to take the cowardly way out: once I don't understand how a gadget, aka new technology works, I shy away and won't use it. thus no microwave oven in my kitchen, no smart/iPhone, groceries from the fresh market only (including the conversations one can have there!), while the sturdyish desktop computer is mostly used as a glorified typewriter with news-bringing capabilities. will be following your work :-))
tru dat. it's not the forever evolving technological advancements, it's what we can do with what we have that makes life interesting. but it seems that's not a viable business model. oh well, too bad. who in his sane mind would want the world to equate a viable business model anyway.....
Superb and very clearly articulated article on how "convenient" technology can be used against us, dangers on the horizon, plus pragmatic tools to protect ourselves.

Hey ThAnks so much for the leak test tip!!!
Thank you so much Gabriel for your swift reply. Curious -how long have you been aware of the tyrannical agenda?

Thank you! I will say people can do a lot more good with "glorified typewriters" than we often think!
