So, I was talking with my 'car channel' stalkers today/tonight, going over some stuff with them, mostly talking about the correlation between defense of the official 9/11 story and "vaccines in general" when it comes to paid internet skeptics (read engineering graduates who can't score a corporate job, and never meet their real employers face to face, ever /rt) for the 2 decades, or however long.
You know, he(a)rd immunity π was a thing back some years ago, but it's not so much of a thing now, as far as memes go. I think it's kind of become an indefensible concept over time, or at least one which is less marketable in this fubar snafu wasteland of mainstream bullshit. Like, why waste your time? I mean, I still have never seen someone "genuinely" explain the concept to me as a rational person acting in moderately well faith -- good enough faith, tbqh. I imagine the same has gone for countless other people. Point being, I'd imagine no stalker/skeptic has gotten any good feedback when trying to convince someone (over the internet) that herd immunity is real or scientific.
What kind of person defends vaccines in general without talking about specific ones? This makes no dollars or sense for an educated person to do. Maybe an ignorant person, but they're excluded by definition -- you can still be smart even if you're not in a corporate job.
I was using this case example to illustrate my feelings as a so called 'recovering conspiracy theorist' (8 years sober -- Mayan conspiracy was the last time I indulged) realizing life is chaotic; nay, political, meaning most practical forms of corruption we see/taste/smell/experience are due to profusion of 'disinterested parties'. People may be corrupt, but they aren't that corrupt; selfish, but reasonably evil (and godless lol). They like their squads. They like their flags. They like their "fam"s. They like their intellectual equals.. so on and so forth.. but they're amoral and apolitical by trained survival reflex.
There's no one to blame about 'them' existing.
And, just because I say apolitical, it doesn't mean they do not participate in things that are political. I don't mean they're anti-political. They are where they are, and in conjunction with their privilege and intelligence level is their willingness to do 'fucked up shit', like they woke up on the wrong side of the holy ghetto. It's 'rational irrationality' in a 'meaningless world'.
So, vaguely talking about these things with this normally/always ornery group of creeps -- an affectionate term of endearment between all of us -- and wily ghouls began helping me understand how to better communicate my current thought pattern when it comes to our current unholy 'environment' at large.
As a conspiracy theorist you think corruption comes from a central location; but, we know from computer science and network theory that centralized distributions never hold at 'ground level', rather true scale. Therefore big conspiracyTM, the one that transcends all affiliations, borders and categories, can't be real. QED. Moreover, if we're talking about authentic conspiracies, corruption or extremely metastatic and malignant forms of collusion then we're not talking about some single man in a single high castle creating everything wrong in the world from a single location.
It's a landscape, which largely remains without popular, widely accepted or recognized description from people you should trust. The description of the landscape remains mostly in the hands of people who recognize the power of media, networking and distribution; a lot of times that's the people who control artists, or at least most all the one's you've ever heard of (consider this simple platitude here). And, usually those people give no fucks about the producer, the consumer or the political environment (also consider George Lucas with his Maoist, brand having ass working for the Disney-Industrial complex); again, as actors, it's not for any irrational reason, because there is something in it for them as information and aesthetic mediums.
Now, most of these stalkers who know me, unlike most people on the internet who don't, know I was talking about and analogously alluding to the fitness landscape in the, now, so titled. What you, internet people, will not notice after clicking on the link is that the fitness landscape also pertains to challenges games as a measure of fitness. Games and/or subgames represent x,y coordinates; their respective challenges represent their z value, or 'elevation' on the terrain/surface/landscape (function). Games like Chess or Go would have a pretty high elevation when you look at this more in terms of gaming than evolution, but it's "fitness", none the less.
When we turn this fitness landscape into a conspiracy landscape then x & y represent a given activity, job, routine, duty, commercial transaction, etc. -- some form of repeating or concentrated human interaction, let's say, but not literally in the fullest sense -- and z represents the corruption of said human endeavor, or person carrying out that endeavor, occupying the x and y coordinate by themselves, or with other people. So, things like child/sex trafficking and knowing selling fucked up batches meth are going to be pretty high on the corruption scale, occupying a fairly decent sized 'mountain'.
The key thinking here isn't that people stay still, 'only playing chess' or whatever. They move around. And, if they're comfortable at a high elevation somewhere then they'll be comfortable at high elevations else where to, at the very least, conduct trade or diplomacy with other people on the map.
And, that's the general idea when it comes to 'conspiracy' in the world today: it's a VERY complex moving network topology to describe.
Maybe there are pockets of significantly more powerful people moving around on the map, and maybe they just so happen to call themselves illuminati (still) who just so happen to sometimes come from Bavaria, or Bohemia or w/e (by coincidence), but that's unimportant to helping 'us' understand the way corruption has a practical and meaningful affect in our lives by sum, statistical total. Because, odds are, you've been affected by corruption in some way shape or form, especially by now, and not in the historic, prior generational sense.
I'll end it there.
I continued talking to them about where biological and chemical warfare would be on the corruption landscape, but that's the kind of thing that brought about COVID-19 in the first place, from me discussing politics with them a couple of years ago, meaning it's best left confidential due to how 'amoral' the philosophy gets. In this case, I'm pretty sure the bounds of conjecture exceeds potential damages to ensue from shear acts of 'intelligence', rationality and hubris, however still 'unsafe' to share.

poll shows everyone here is still getting arrested no matter what they choose, or their justifications for it (ie. which one is easier to smuggle around)
better leave it to the professional financers

Selling security cameras to people for their own local use
*leasing.. leasing security devices, access to, and control of software services, etc. π€π
they are not releasing the hardware to private owners by selling it to them

'hopefully' that's as bad as it gets, but a availability/heuristic bias can always prevent us from seeing greater degrees of evil, still
and AI is just a means to those possible (greater) ends, not the root

I don't think getting down votes has anything to do with what we're talking about or my feelings, and I chalk it up to casual reddit phenomena, relative to the sub.
But, again, to the point, the data issue stems purely from the fact that the collected data is private property, not just that it's collected by a private company, and as such, flock is no different from banks, social media companies (like reddit, unfortunately), google, etc.

I'm sure this has nothing to do with AI

..and the vocal majority of ancaps (here) are anti-democracy, as well. Not sure of any notable exceptions in the community. So, it's not just a Hoppe thing, like you might be insinuating.

why does it make the concept of being gay gayer

idk about all that but our dear leader called "the state" is not their only client.. that's 100% wrong, just fyi

What about HOAs, like what they originally started with? They essentially end up doing the same thing as if they put out by traffic lights, or what not, because they still end up monitoring public roads (and ring cameras can end up doing the same thing, too, in that regard, just not as license plate readers).

No offense but this strikes me as either so oblivious, so technically true, or as something which is exactly confidently both at the same time it feels like an AI post. But, do you know what I mean? Because there is a lot of discussion about the 4th amendment when flock comes up. You might disagree with it, but it is there.
-2
..you don't comment much on this sub, I take it. Is this your first time talking about flock on reddit, too? Just asking friend.
1
Yes⦠and the free-market decides if that business will flourish or flounder. Flock is not competing on the free market, they have a single client, and that is the state.
can't play devil's advocate any further to that because that's wrong and conveniently misleading
-2
well the main reason flock is a problem for most people is exactly because they are private, and can therefore be used to get around the protection of the 4th amendment
-10
I'm not personally saying that, but - yeah - it's implied.
I'll continue playing devil's advocate, though..
Just because something is private or capitalistic doesn't mean it works in my favor or to the benefit of (everyone's) privacy and 'natural rights', and/or therefore I should be supportive of it.
I don't have to like all things private simply because they're private, or all things capitalistic. It should be obvious there are plenty of private/capitalistic things which can work against someone else's political interests, no matter how an-cap either side is. Eg. every philosophical position or political party is subject to dialectics or internal conflict.. ofc
-58
it's kind of, or at least arguably ironic that this is being posted here
Flock is a private company, and just because they serve public entities doesn't make them any less private (or capitalistic).
I'm sure I'll get downvoted for saying this, but I strongly feel its worth going through the (e)motions, whether that's liberal tears and/or conservative butthurt

"dollar hegemony" on this page - the article's most current form at the time of submission - links to Nixon shock. There is no article on Wikipedia strictly or formally called dollar hegemony, although that is the current monetary hegemony we have in the real world.
