[Opinion] Getting Chipped

[Xenophon]

I imagine this could go in Technology, Politics, even the Lounge. So if this thread is, as it were evicted, I unnerstand.

Anyhow, I know a Harbin Russkie here who calls himself Nayrad. He opines that the coming brain chips will be used, amongst other things, to make magickal workings impossible. He insists that sufficient malcontentment is what drives aeonic change and that chipping will be used, literally, to end history. Earth as an aphid farm, if you will. The window for salutary rage is, according to Nayrad, fast slamming shut. 'Course, yeah, what's one more drunk white guy know?

 

[Xingtian]

Tell Nayrad this already happened way back in 1666 when the heretic Patriarch Nikon got the pious Orthodox to start crossing themselves with three fingers, to the rejoicing of demons everywhere

Well, I personally don't agree with microchips or getting chipped.

And, sometimes, technology can limit powers of magic workings (some EMP detectors for example can detect auras, or jam some electro signals that auras emit). So, in terms of people in power who would use technology such as microchips, I personally wouldn't see it as a good thing.

Not a good thing in general in fact since, when did humanity need tags or microchips (or even an internal microscopic device) for doing a magic working, back in the 90s for example :lol:

 

[Robert Ramsay]

From what I can see, the people who volunteer for this are not the kind of people who will be doing magic anyway.

Plus, why bother going to the incredible expense of invasive brain surgery on a planetary scale when you can just bullshit people into acting against their own interests, like happens already.

Thirdly, these kind of spoutings always assume a level of technology that just doesn't exist yet (at which point someone always says "blah blah blah aliens blah blah blah").

With the amount we currently understand about human consciousness (hint: it's almost nothing), the only way you're going to stop people working magic is a lobotomy.

Well if you ever get a chip, you're an idiot.. But I got a feeling such stuff will be normalized in the future, disgusting.

Agreed. My working assumption is that soon enough, chipping will be mandatory, like vaccines and that ilk.

A lobotomy? You looked at popular entertainment and school textbooks lately?

On sale now, Xingtian's hit single: "Whistling Past the Graveyard." (As performed on the Titanic!)

It is so obvious this is what they want. Life seems to follow a script with movies as psychological foreplay. Philip K Dick was a prophet, in that sense, as he peered beyond the veil. The thing is:

The spiritual implications on a grander scale. And hint of where we are. What is at the helm. Shades of Hotel California, yes?

First, it was get your pet/s chipped in case they're lost or stolen. Then it was get your children chipped in case they're lost or abducted. so far there's at least "some" validity there, shit happens especially with pets and children. Where I have difficulty is with "so called" adults. There aren't many scenarios where that's a "good thing" IMO! You don't even need to get chipped to enjoy the same benefits if you have a smart phone or smart watch, ad nauseam. But if you "do" get chipped because you don't have any of those wonderful devices previously mentioned, then you too can enjoy the same level of visibility as those folks. Some of the benefits are: Little to no privacy certainly in communications and location. With an internal chip though you get "so much more". All sorts of information is available to the "state" and their minions. Health info, location, and other stuff you likely don't even want to consider. The "young" folks are conditioned to believe this is "normal" which to me is just plain fucking scary.

Oh yeah, don't buy into the B$$$ that you can turn "anything" off! If a "tower" can see you (your device) even if you "think" it's turned off, or any number of other types of sensors and satellites can detect you, tough luck, you're a much more visible "useless eater" than you were before.
IMO! UPG?

I wish we could still pull the battery out of our phone. Then you know it's off. (and replace it when it goes bad)

But, with AI face recognition, chip or not we're ID if we go anywhere. Plate readers for vehicles too.

I've got a relatively new and not cheap Motorola phone and I took the back off and the battery is interchangeable.

Satanists here actually offer implanting of chip working as credit (debit) card you can pay with, once it gets connected to your bank account.

Though I doubt that anyone got it in their forehead. Would have to ask. Lol!

That's hilarious. I'm sure they're all running to get it, just to piss off those dumb Christians..

It's much easier to use a smart phone with the pay apps. Only takes a minute to get the card info into the app. Touch to pay at any point-of-sale device. You get an audible 'ding' when the transaction is complete and a notification on your phone seconds later.

I think it would be obvious by now that almost every database can be hacked, and crooks are always looking for ways to exploit systems of payment. A chip in the body would have to be constantly updated and regularly replaced with more secure technology.

Though I doubt that anyone got it in their forehead.

Touching one's head to a POS device would look weird to say the least! And then how does one know that any transaction has occurred?

In this country, when you put any contactless card at the reading device, it beeps, when the card or any alternative is successfully read.
And every payment here, you get a receipt, or have right to request it.

Yes, of course! That's what I get posting before finishing the first cup of coffee.

Yep, that's part of the "so much more" added value I hinted at!

Good point! So now we can add "cards", credit, debit and gods know what other categories of "card" you can get a "handy offer" for.

If you don't have a printed receipt, try to get something fixed when it gets screwed up in the "system", or prove you paid "electronically" at all.
Remember, It's "so convenient" until the data center crashes the power grid!

My wife just came into our office and said the "second pot" of coffee is ready, we really like coffee here!
