How many of the poor does humanity include ? Doubt they care too much about the cutting edge science

Its only a matter of time before we are all bar-coded, neatly organised and uploaded to the cloud and sooner the better i say.

Ok but there's clouds and there's clouds. I don't mind a harp or 2 but then I got a pipe in some of the good shit from downstairs.

where do i sign?

Huh? You wrote this on an anonymous board that uses bitcoin to pay for goods. iv never felt more free than today. Remote working enables me to work from anyway and do almost Anything that isn’t physical labour

Technology gives us freedom

freedom always takes a fight i guess it's with configuration now ;)

I think it's impossible already , i think free internet was from the 80s towards 2000's post that it changed , we said nothing , we like the conveniences and now we cry all our info is everywhere , what's done is done and now we have to live with the consequences to be honest , unless a new Network internet type comes along that we can access with 0 censorship( we have TOR , but Onion Links not sustainable).
Right now even having a normal social media account is a hinderance , the world is so brainwashed that you cannot have your own opinion, 50 dumbasses will jump on your comments to convince you to think like them.
We need a time travel machine , i miss Yahoo messenger , MIRC , msn ,Yahoo news .
The only good thing is now we are all connected so now it's time for all of us to be informed to be able to filter out the bullshit.

Depends how you define freedom.

We are by nature communal and social creatures.

We are constrained by the freedoms of others.

The illusion of hyper individualism and unrestrained libertarianism tells us that we can have unfettered personal freedom, economic freedom, even moral freedom.

But we can't and never could.

It's setting up a "prisoners dilemma" where the incentive is always to screw the other person over for your own freedoms. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoner%27s_dilemma

Good piece kumo
If the sheep woke up all the parasite world leaders would be fucked , I’m hoping the internet in the end will help expose the darkness we live under & help the 2million + children who go missing every year to enslavement & blood harvesting .

We work for society, society doesn’t work for you. Unless you are a shareholder of course;)

id be happy just to find the url

They say we have freedom but look what happen to Tate

A guy who allegedly took away the freedoms of his victims and trafficked them?

Victims?? 🤯

Yup. The women who he allegedly groomed and coerced and bullied.

ah right, sorry I missed the 'allegedly' 🤪

If he did. and I suspect he did and am awaiting confirmation of this, then I am happy for him to have his freedom removed.

depends on which layer

I think there has always been feudalism in one form or another. There is always a class that ultimately owns everything because they can confiscate it, grant it a "title" or tax it. This premise always leads to same outcome it's just a matter of how greedy or insane the current landlord is.

Everything consolidates one way or another, thats why decentralization is both great and doomed.

Anthropologist David Graeber did a book about about this myth called Debt. There is no evidence for class dominant economics bar this relatively small and recent period of time. Obviously the myth has more value than the reality.

probably starting from the neolithic era yes with the only exception of the 20th century, the only period of history where people got a bit of control of the power. Now is going to be lost for decades to come.

We need to look on the bright side, we are actually free serfs. We are free to seek a new master and we can seek redress in the crown courts, unfree serfs couldn't. However if we hadn't spent so much bit coin here we might actually be free with the value of it now.

sometimes a imagine a stack of the coins over time and shiver. so then i buy more weed.

Wise words, Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs and Steel says the same but takes 350 odd pages.

Thanks for sharing.

I see examples of this not just on the internet but in all industries. Walk down most high streets here in the UK and they now pretty much all look identical the same shops, coffee shops and chain restaurants with very few independent offerings. The cost of rent, business rates and all the red tape make it pretty much impossible nowadays for small independents to even start up.

Watching a show about fisherman on the BBC painted a picture of the EU quota system they must use and how the industry is dominated by money and huge boats and how these owners buy up small fishing boats and take the quotas these boats have to use on the mega trawlers.

The car industry seems totally monopolised now and we actually get very little choice - notice how the different makers share chassis and engines and the only real difference you get is the interior and badge. Everything else is pretty much controlled by rules and regulations.

It is obvious that these big players of industry are in cahoots with the those that set the rules and regulations as we saw with the emissions scandal with VW and EU collaboration.

Covid and lockdowns have exacerbated the situation as many small business owners left without any financial supports have gone to the wall while government loans to the huge corporations sit unused in their bank accounts.

Truly depressing times.

This is the model dreamed up by Gabrielle D'Nunzio, Mussolini, Franco and later tried by Stroessner, Pinochet and Thatcher. Always fails cos tho i am a committed capitalist even i realise extraction cannot work for ever as either you run out of victims (Franco, Pinochet) or the victims turn on you (Mussolini, Thatcher) At least Il Duce didn't cry when his turn came, Thatcher mewled and puked like a rat.

thatcher was as much a military dictator as she was latin

I call it digital feaudalism. And yes, we have never really exited the feudal system. It just morphs and transforms, keeping the 1% at the top, making almost all the rest their slaves.

yes, were hard wired for this shit

Nice hook

Moore's law is doing fine once you abstract it to include progress besides chip density. Computation overall is on track when you include advances in software and a.i.

it will take more than economics for everyone to spend their leisure time studying philosophy. but im with you at least

Hope so but would we be the same beings, even the same species? I think Nietszche was mostly a clown but "homo, ecce homo" hits home

What is Neo Feudalism and being British mean?

Neo-feudalism refers to a concept that draws parallels between modern societal structures and the feudal system of the Middle Ages. It suggests that power and wealth are concentrated in the hands of a few influential individuals or entities, leading to a significant wealth disparity and limited social mobility. In a neo-feudalistic system, there may be an entrenched hierarchy, with a small elite class exerting control over economic, political, and social aspects, while the majority of the population faces limited opportunities and struggles to improve their circumstances.

Being British refers to being a citizen or a resident of the United Kingdom or having a connection to British culture and heritage. It typically implies a sense of national identity associated with the customs, traditions, and values of the British people. It encompasses aspects such as the English language, British history, British institutions, and cultural practices that are prevalent in the UK. However, it's important to note that "being British" can mean different things to different people, as it can encompass a diverse range of identities and perspectives within the multicultural society of the United Kingdom,

digital land barons & their consumers

Like the last feudal era they will ultimately fail IMO. Biden, bezos, bj and the two conos in NZ & Canada are only one mad bomber away from losing all the kleptocratic gains they have extracted. Putin and Xi poss a battalion or two away. Even if the above are stopped there are always despots trying their luck. The better angels of our nature (thanks Pinker, S) have always stayed in the fight so that the new boss is NOT always the same as the old boss (thanks Townshend, P)

Anything by Elton John fucking hate the cunt and his music, my wife ruined my Xmas day few years back by telling me a gay singer i didnt like had died.
I was so exited then she told me it was George Michael and i was gutted.

Nearly choked when i read this, im a terrible person lol

and i feel better about myself, you know plotting his murder and all. george michael on the other hand was a genius and worth a quickie in the facility of his choosing

Hahahaha

Hahahaha, I actually like Elton, well as much as a straight man can but that made me laugh man.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Your terrible mate im rofl

Fairground simply red, gives me violent thoughts of grabbing mick by his flowing red curls and bouncing his head of every hard surface available. Total pissflap

i went straight to the curls when you said simply red

Yeah anything by Simply Red can give me Forrest Whittaker eye but Fairground is especially bad

Listen too long and you get Evander Holyfield ear.

😆Evand-Ear!

If i listened for too long i'd be praying for Iron Mike to turn up 😬👂🏻

God save the queen.

Two things that influence our lives so much but aren’t real

we mean it man

Come on Eileen, it is the worst thing ever created. Can’t stand the guys voice.

And imagine being called Eileen when it came on down the pub back in the day…. Poor cow needed 3 packs of baby wipes.

oh were gonna cum on eileen alright

oh come on

That Barbie girl tune, need I say why! Lol
And the “grandma I love you” tune, showing my age! Lol

but barbie girl got me through a tough breakup

Ok you win… The grandma I love you song was fucking horrendous, then they felt the need to create the sequel… Grandpa I love you… I mean we got the message the first time.

Too many but Will Smith - Wild Wild West has got to be up there surely. It’s like some record execs put a gun to his head and said ‘Dance bitch!’

Do you think they did it again to willow ? I whip my hair even for a 13 year old was fucking awful

that movie had so much going for it and they still blew it, would make a better series than a lot of shit

Nothing Compares to You by Sinead Depressing Cunt O'Connor that song has the warmth and charm of a dead Rat lying next to a used Tampon.

i dont mean to get personal but why did you need the rat if you had a tampon?

this is hilarious :)))))))

Isn't it just.... I'm reading this thread howling. Great start to day

surely anything by Celine Dion or the like

Woah slow up man, she taught me that my heart will go on, you can’t buy that wisdom bro.

Lol. She is a liar too, when that Leo chap drowned in the ice, his heart certainly didn’t go on….

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Touché lol

Justin Beaver song with the trumpet. Just Fuck right off with that shit

thats not a trumpet thats his ass whinging

Remember when the greatest rapper alive went mad?

i actually like that track the beat is tight

Ob-la-fuckin-di, ob-la-fuckin-da

Or Octopuses Garden. Stick to yer shit drummin', Ringo.

Steppin' Out by Joe Jackson. Ain't rock, ain't disco, can't dance to it without looking like Steve Martin doing a retarded dance.

Bohemian rhapsody.
I’d be happy to never listen to that again.

If you really want a contender for worst song, you need to listen to Taylor Swift Gorgeous. The song composition and the lyrics seem like they were written by a child.

Also majority of her songs. She did a cover of September by earth wind and fire that haunts me... She turned funk into folk what the actual fuck.

thats a frightening thought so i had to check it out.

even worse than i imagined

D'yer Maker by those Blood and Fire Roots Reggae Heroes Led Zep.
Why? Because it's 'kin awful

all the weed on lb couldnt get me through this

hahaha.. funny to see Zeppelin here because it did occur to me too . Seems like everybody has to adore their music :P

Not often you hear Zeppelin and fuckin awful.

Boy George song called 'I'll tumble for you'. Worst song and artist ever.

do you really want to hurt me

I forgot all about this,Hey plenty of Zepp stuff is fine but that song really gets my goat the first time i heard it i never knew who it was my missus had been putting cd's in the laptop and they kept getting synched to my ipod it came on random one day and i just went wtf is this shit before looking who it was, it sounds to me like a holiday camp band doing reggae.

Sometimes they stole good shit....Sometimes they stole fucking awful shit.

All musicians steal mate and say they were inspired. A lot of that era were the same. Keith Richards does it. Don’t think that takes away from them as musicians.

Yeah I know, I was just trying to be funny. They're still my favourite band from that era.

Cool, mine too. Sometimes I feel like the great Alan in your photo speaking to younger people. AHA. I was sick with laughter when he got hit with a cow. Steve coogans characters are genius. All the way back to the calf family

Best Zeppelin

as a punk i was always compelled to hate led zep, it was a mistake, i still hate most classic rock still (with merit now) but these guys were really in a class by themselves.

Its not theft.... its "inspiration"
😘

zep had range

I’m too nice to downvote as maybe that’s how you feel but seriously? The band who gave us in my time of dying can never be fuckin awful.

Led Zep - Best covers band ever!

whats the story on this?

Scarred me for life this one

Perfect by Fairground Attraction

Because nothing ever is…😉

Lil Wayne Lollipop

Now it wont leave my head

Keane - Bedshaped.

Stupid, depressing lyrics that make no sense at all.

Bedshaped? That'll be a bed then...


I hate it because it reminds me of the two weeks I spent crawling around a 20 inch deep subfloor void for 8 hours a day, doing timber treatments on a huge old house.
That shit was on the radio every 20 mins for the whole time we were there.


Scarred me 🙉

Watch this with your sound on, and I think you will agree no further explanation is required.

Friday by Rebecca Black

What's so annoying is that it's high in the UK charts atm

Take That's cover of 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' is all kinds of horrible :)

Anything by ladbaby,pair of tossers

any yeat song

.... you guys forgot ..... Black lace .... no explination needed also the birdy song.

Great film, special for me cos i lived with director for 4 years and he wrote it during that period. So its my early 20s on film pretty much. Nice one bruvva is an evolution of how we used to scream down the phone at each other, (and still do) with names instead of bruvva.

It is superb and just represents his zest for life and fun and sillyness and funny situations. Under table snorting scene just one example of the talent in the cinematography.

If you liked this, i would urge anyone to check out his largely unknown second film "i know you know". A different affair about him and his dad and mum, but stunning in different ways. Also his older college stuff, party politics, life in the bus lane. On YT somewhere i think.

The sequel to HT is confirmed btw in case you didn't know.

Wow, that is amazing. He captured a perfect picture of life and it is totally relatable. The whole film was so well done and the cast was just spot on. You will have to tell him how amazing he is. I was 19/20 when it came out and that was a typical weekend. It just gives you the warm and fuzzies. I would be totally buzzin’ if there was a sequel. I will have to do some digging and see if I can find his other stuff. Thank you.

Human traffic is full of Qaballah clues

Spot on bro I'll keep an eye out for that as human trafficking is a top film reminds me of my younger days 👍

Niiiiccccceeee ooonnnneeeee brrruuuvvvvaaaa

aha! You beat me to it, WHL

No way?! Love all the Nick Love ones, The Business, Outlaw, FF obviously

The business is a good shout

Nice one bruvvvvvv!

Love it. You seen Goodbye Charlie Bright?

Not seen that one. Is it worth a watch?

Yeah all the old crowd that came up from London lots of the football factory boys just all about life on the estate all the capers etc great film

Will take a look. Thank you.
