In China, you can’t exist without a smartphone, because for all existential things you have to do (paying bills, buying tickets etc.) , you are forced to use the almighty wechat app. Smartphones are a tool to manipulate and to spy on the population. It is a tool utilized by the ruling class, to control the masses. I hate the future and I hate “progress”.

      Sorry, but the scientific truth about smartphones and AI manipulation is free to read for everybody. Stop denying reality.

        Adding the word “scientific” to your point doesn’t make it more believable.

        In fact, it detracts from your point by making you sound like you don’t know how to use the word.

        Free to read? Where? Without links your arguments are just as good as a flat earther’s “do your own research”.

        You mean ‘objective’ m8. And stop hyperfocusing on one issue, and start seeing the forest for the trees. Technological advancement is good except for the humans that use it to control the majority - this literally the basic message in Dune, and is proven by reality.

          More science deniers who love to be slaves. Doesn’t make sense to talk with you.

        That’s exactly the same language transphobes use to justify their bigotry. Doesn’t exactly make you sound credible.
