Thank you Gabrriel,

Your writing is so clear precise and with heart as big as the sky.

> Financial de-platforming for political reasons is a very potent tool that has an impact that shouldn’t be underestimated.

REPLY: very much like sanctioning. It is however a two edge sword.

I don't know much about the Amish. I know through mostly hearsay that the Amish use cell phones to do business. There outdoor food and tool stands are where the cell phone stays. It never goes into the house.

When I paid more attention to all this the Internet of Things was off on the horizon. A number of hackers I followed were already calling it IOT hell. So it is. You buy and install modern appliances for no extra charge you get Big Brother and the Corporate mother listening and recording everything you say and talk about.

I watched a video last night that said Apple & Microsoft have agreed to let AI copy & provide everything to GOVT … Apple said AI is not the same as “people” spying on you 😶

Cybertrauma. Great word for encapsulating a concept. I need to think about what the parallel would be for religions. Theotrauma?

Spiritrauma rolls off the tongue better 😅

It sure does but I don't know that it means what I want. It sounds like someone being traumatized by a spirit or spirituality. I'm thinking of those long 'passion of the Christ' stations on Good Fridays, absorbing every lash of the whip, thorn of the crown. How much it was part of Catholicism to feeeel the pain of Jesus, hence the hair shirts and self-flagellation. Judaism and reliving the 'holocaust.'

Theocratrauma? Definitely not as catchy.

I have Cyber Fix 2 in my queue and finishing up on this post a bit late but wanted to pipe in and say I really appreciate the clarity with which you write. I find it a bit hard to educate myself on all the cyber dangers out there. There just isn’t enough time in the day to handle all my responsibilities and grasp technological tools. And I’m sure nefarious actors are fully aware that this is the underlying issue of all the rest of us plebs.
