Good Night and Good Luck.
It is without doubt, or fear, that the world should revolve around many of the latest developments that have marked time, and above all, one of its most elusive fabrics, the future.
For it is important, if not a duty of each and every one of us, to reflect upon the myriad of phenomena that are constantly being unfolded at a truly phenomenal pace. And too heavy a disappointment has been lingering within my mind lately as I see, with grief, the abismal way that people are reacting to their own slavery.
And I apologise for having burdened you with generalities. The time is 3.59am (roughly) so it is also time to turn more specific.
Somerset is a county in the United Kingdom where such slavery is currently taking place. Even worse, people submit to it in a voluntary fashion. The price that they have to pay now - and they do - in order to go into a night club and 'enjoy themselves' is to hand in their biometric data (fingerprint & face recognition). Apparently the club owners have convinced people that it is for their own good as different clubs may share a database between them; create trouble in one, you have difficulty in getting into another.
One would probably expect a different kind of reaction; never go into one of these clubs and force them to drop the system. But no; unavoidable stupidity will prevail and ignorance will always be bliss. People will just be willing to hand in their biometric data anywhere (supermarkets follow), night clubs, and so on. What sort of anomaly is this? What sort of perversity of innocent interactivity with technology? No matter what it may be?
And we know. Governments are going right at this. How many of you out there will be forced into being scanned?
And to succumb to the unreasonable impositions of governments is one sadness, but to willingly submit one's self into this madness, is quite another.
Everywhere I look I see little hope for this biometric evolution; despair surrounds my thoughts as ignorance at a political level is being enforced by ignorance at a social.
What little hope is left resides within those that will raise their voices together against this kind of ignorance.
For the rest,
Good Night and Good Luck.
