Oh, so we’ve amalgamated all the Facebook conspiracy theories with 4chan conspiracy theories, along with whatever % garbage political messagin,g everyone’s major religious texts, and basically the sum off all art, knowledge, and advertising that was available on the Internet at the time.

Of I were real honest, I’d say that last one is the one that really bothers me. The vast majority of our modern media is dumb ads. Really, since the Victorian era. My unscientific guess is that the bulk of modern media is designed to weedle past your logic to make your emotions want to buy various petroleum products.

And out off all that mess we’re expecting what?

I believe a similar discovery lead to unleaded gas.

If that’s a kazoo, I’ve developed complicated emotions and may need a moment.

Former colony blues. It wasn’t just the criminals we sent to Australia or the religious wackos exported to the Americas. We also sent people to exploit them and I guess old habits die hard.

That could be a huge double edged sword.

On the one hand less propaganda, on the other less documentation.

He’s had the benefit of most of the American media running interference and translating (or whatever you call it) for him for several years now.

Edit: just think about stuff like the Epstein files taking a back seat to anything

From what I understand this is urea. I’m guessing it’s a byproduct of some sort of oil refinery.

Urea is not really hard to get and shouldn’t end up having a large impact.

Not to say that it won’t have an additional cost, but comparatively speaking it’s not a big deal.

I guess at least it’s not winter.

It’s just exactly right, isn’t it?

He may still have an exit strategy

Modern medicine: “this part isn’t just extra lol.”

This will help form the basis of the thymus denial movement.

My father ran me through it one day. It involves Al Gore proposal to sell carbon tax credits.

I think this was such a repellent thought to oil companies that they scorched the very thoughts around it.

Too bad about that election.

You gotta bloom where you’re planted.

Oh 💯

But I think we were thinking along the same lines. I think if you just super content curate/create on the big three or four socials you’d get enough of the population that participated. What I envisioned is more like a quid pro quo type of thing with social media corpos. We’ll let you do absolutely anything to anyone, just don’t let our dirty laundry hit trending.

But 100% I think it would be a pretty bold move to just slap a patriot filter on the Internet.

Oh, it’s just bitter musing. I don’t think there’s intent or anything, just people trying to make money.

I don’t think we had cheap enough electronics back in the day for it to be that widespread. However, before licensing (needed) you really could just build a radio and do whatever.

I’m not sure I followed what you meant with the bit about a resource being claimed back. Could you talk a bit more about that?

Once their ships show up, the Navy can dip and leave the mess to someone else. He can just move on to the next country on his list

Concerned about the past from the future

Wild open access to vast reliable information has to be a social anomaly. I think the US will basically rewrite the Internet to promote national interest. It’s worked well for China. I think they can basically control the population with an app.

Basically Internet becomes TV. It’s entertaining and could be educational, but it is mostly useful to help people find sales and remember to work hard and respect their financial betters.

The Internet had scads of potential, still does, but imagine how radio enthusiasm changed from two way to broadcast communication.

So, it’ll just be like the early ninties again? People had similar feelings about digital technology being easy to manipulate.

They should start adding convenience fees to US oil.

The US is absolutely defenseless against hidden fees and surcharges.

Yeah, we’re making good progress on that first part, but global thermonuclear war is the best I can imagine as far as equality goes.

All these damn kids all over the lawn.
