The End of Industrial Civilization

They know about literally everything. You do. Both online and offline. I don't want to go into the specific details of how they track people online. But believe me, they know the identity of every cybercriminal. They simply don't have the resources to arrest everyone committing an Internet crime. They tend to first arrest the most profilic criminals. Before they go after the less-profilic criminals.

I don't expect anyone will read it. I don't care if nobody reads it. Yeah, we all know. There is zero anonymity online. There is nothing wrong with that. Obey the law. Don't do anything illegal. We all know the rest.

It really is. There is no privacy on the Internet. You are delusional to say otherwise. The Internet was never designed with anonymity in mind. Just ease of transfer of information. Using Tor is useless. And you know it.

Of course, it begs the simple question...why bother with social criticism, when such criticism will not result in any realistic solutions? Yes, I am well-aware that no amount of social criticism will make an iota of difference in preventing human extinction from happening. But, it is still important to criticize our global economic paradigm (aka capitalism), because it does indeed suck. To make myself clear, our capitalist economic system is irredemably corrupt and fundamentally unsustainable. There is no way to rationally justify this economic paradigm.  However, I do not propose "socialism" as the "solution" to capitalism, because that will not work. Besides, it is not like socialism ever existed in any form in the past nor present. Not even in so-called "socialist" countries (like the Soviet Union or modern China).  Socialism would be defined as "the democratic control over the political economy. And an economy that produces goods and s

It is extremely obvious to me that human civilization is ephermal. It will end one day. And its ending is probably much closer than (almost anyone) could have expected. I realized that human civilization is fundamentally unsustainable and irredemably corrupt. There is really no way to justify the existence of human civilization from any ethical perspective.  How is it ethical for a handful of corrupt psychopaths to completely control our society? It simply isn't. And therefore these BS religions (like Christianity, Hinduism and every other religion imaginable) and political ideologies (like capitalism and democracy) are invented to justify the status quo. The elites claim that their control over society is given to them via some supernatural authority. But it isn't. They need the justification of "divine authority" to justify their control over human society. But any intelligent person knows that there is no God/gods. There never was. And there never is. J

Well, of course, yes! It is obvious that humans will go extinct one day. Every species on this planet eventually goes extinct. And humans are no exception to this rule. Human "ingenuity" will not do a damn thing to prevent our extinction from happening. Because technology cannot do a damn thing for solving industrial civilization's fundamental problems (like overpopulation, resource depletion, social/economic inequality, environmental degradation, etc). Keep in mind that technology is a by-product of available resources (energy or otherwise). And the vast majority of resources that human technology is made out of is finite and nonrenewable...meaning that there is only a limited amount of these resources (hence being finite). And these resources don't replenish nearly as fast as they are being used up (hence being nonrenewable).  Is peak oil real? Yes, it is. And it is happening exactly because oil is finite and nonrenewable. Hence, the more oil is being exploited, the
