Amazon’s new autonomous robot Astro will patrol your house and surveil everything

Posted on      by     

As we bear witness to a sci-fi techno-dystopia unfurling before our eyes, we have quickly discovered that most people welcome the total surveillance state into their homes willingly. Gladly. They’ll even shell out $1,500 for the privilege. That’s the price tag on Amazon’s latest tech horror, “Astro”, a robot that rolls around your house and records, catalogs, and make decisions about what it is capturing. And amid our ultra-hedonistic, present-oriented paradigm, bringing a pricey corporate surveillance gadget into one’s home is perfectly normal.

My only question, which is a broader, more fundamental question, is where does it stop? At what point will we have achieved peak connectivity? 20G phones with our own personal cell towers by the microwave? Sunglasses that automatically stream television 24 hours a day, vehicles that are indistinguishable from the phones in our pockets, nothing more than driveable computers?

Digital devices are draining us of our two most precious possessions, our attention and our time. It’s ugly to watch so many people staring at their phones while walking, while eating, while driving. The vibe I get is one of a soul being sucked through ones eyes into the screen. I’m no better. I stare at my devices mindlessly, always checking for meaningless updates, because I took have developed the addiction. But imagine what it will be like in 10 years. We know what it will look like if we continue down this path of rapacious, philistine technological progress, the cell towers encroaching on every once-sacred public space, the digital world pushing its way further into this realm, our lived experience becoming less real, while our simulated life fast becoming the only life we know. We have to pull the plug in our personal lives, if we are have a meaningful lived experience at all. Reject the robots, reject the phones, reject the “smart” vehicles, push back against this stealth corporate tech intrusion into your life. Pull out the opiate IV and fight your way out of the mental prison that has been slowly erected around your life. Unplug, wake up.

The authoritarian model in action: import cheap, obsequious foreign labor to replace striking workers

It’s almost too insane to even believe what has happened to Australia. They let the genie out of the bottle entirely, and have no intention of ever stuffing him back down again. Technocratic fascism, enabled and now easily implemented with the Aussies’ new COVID passports. The vaccine doesn’t even matter; it’s getting the digital yoke around the necks of the citizens that is key. Once in place, the passport functions as a behavior corrective: do what we say or we push a few buttons and presto! You can’t go buy groceries, or leave your house, for two weeks. For the striking workers, fire them and replace them with obedient, imported slave labor.

The Political Class wants you to feel alone and isolated

Plenty of reports now of a mass walk-out staged by air traffic controllers in Florida have emerged on social media over the past 24 hours. The ostensible reason? They’re protesting the vaccine mandate imposed by the airlines. It’s beginning to look like all flights into and out of Florida will be delayed indefinitely. No reports on major news networks regarding the actual reason. Why? Because the Narrative requires that the public never discover that hundreds of thousands of professionals would prefer losing their career to taking the mRNA vax. If the public catches on to the fact that so many people are already standing up to the insane, authoritarian mandate, others might become emboldened, and do the same thing. The Narrative requires an illusion of consensus. Shatter the illusion and watch the entire charade crumble. The people have the power, if only they would exercise it.

Oklahoma COVID hospitalizations remain in decline, over six weeks after schools opened

Public health “experts” have been wrong about every single aspect of the COVID “pandemic”. And yet there remians widespread trust in these charlatans. It’s difficult to overstate how dangerous this blind faith in “the experts” is. The credentialed class could say or do anything, but because they have all the right degrees, they get a free pass. This power to shape public policy and public opinion, regardless of track record, will destroy civilization.

New dimensions of depravity

Something very bad has happened to the world, with this being just one more manifestation of a psychological sickness, a darkness, that has arisen within the collective whole of humanity. The cultural rot has festered for decades, and here is the horrifying product. Where do we go from here? Is there a way out? Is a way out possible? For some, yes. But probably not for all. The only way forward is a forking, a fracturing of humanity. The Rorschach reaction to videos like this does the work of sorting individuals on one side or the other. It’s not a choice about the path forward, the fracturing of the human race is inevitable. The most hateful, intolerant bigots are now preaching “inclusion”, and spreading this hypochondriac religion like a plague. They have packpedaled into an apartheid Puritan religion, and haven’t the strength of character to emerge. This new religion has given their hollow lives purpose, and they make it clear that they would drag the world down with them if they could.
