Sam Altman and Elon Musk have the same goal - mass identity verification of the global population and control over billions of individuals. No bugs. No pod. No chip. No orb. No check. Freedom tech is hope. We must build the future we wish to see.

I agree we should all be working on freedom tech. I disagree that Elon’s goal is likely to be mass identity verification. He probably has some goal that he thinks is virtuous but the means he is choosing are harmful. It’s an important distinction. We don’t need to misrepresent our opponents’ intentions in order to convince people to follow us. People will follow us because we speak the truth.
it’s a literal eyeball scanner. thats how you get a world coin account, they scan your eyeball.

I go with the assumption that Elon is controlled opposition. He has significant influence, and even if at the surface his intention may not seem bad, I can't help but feel something weird is up with that guy. Word on the street is that X is supposed to become the western WeChat. "Oh you posted something the government doesn't like? You can't use your Tesla for a week" "If we want to beat China we have to become China" mentality. These changes happen in slow increments, often disguised as positive changes.
I can foresee many ways Worldcoin would not be sucessful, but I am having trouble with identifying and associating personal risk with participating. I am not aware of my eyeball prints currently being used for any purpose. If I were to verify my identify with Orbs, does that itself present a risk in the future for my eyeball security ever becoming a trustworthy measure for other purposes? Can anyone provide more understandable examples of ‘what could go wrong’ and objections than provide more detail than ‘concerning’?

💯, "let us proceed together apace. Onward." - E.H.
If obsessions dominate clarity, bad things happen for us and those around us. If we have more money and influence, those bad things have amplified effects. It is an eternal battle to keep ourselves and others in check in a voluntary fashion. Giddy...the-fuck...up! #grownostr
The problem is, you can never change it. Ever. You can change your mail, you social media accounts. You can even change your phone number. Changing your iris or eyeball is another story, well if you don't want to get blind, at least. This is the case for all biometrically relevant data. Now, that means, that it doesn't need a purpose now. It does not need one tomorrow. It will follow you around your entire life, until at some point, tomorrow, in 1 year or in 30 years, there will be some huge thing that will fuck up your life based on something you said, did or whatever & it will be proven that you did, said or whatever it, because they have your biometric data. For fingerprint scans, you need to touch something. For eyeball scans, you literally just need to look around & accidentally look in the wrong camera lens.

Starting to realize, Elon likes dystopian sci-fi a little too much. I like it too, but I'm not out there TRYING to make it happen. He's got no empathy and would gladly sacrifice any number of humans to ensure his 'vision for humanity' can succeed. Is he the next SBF, an effective altruist? I'd say time will tell, but maybe it's already been told.
We need to build our own internet infrastructure imo. Perhaps a similar concept to starlink, but also something along the lines of a Wi-Fi network. have we made progress in that direction yet?

Elon wraps his goals with liberty rhetoric but it is the same with Altman. Control.
Elon is sending his satellites to space and probably use X as a social networking thing. If Nostr could use his satellites, great but Elon still has control over his satellites. I guess X will be the most accessible app on the planet. Think about it, Elon needs an app that can handle large traffic. I guess thats X
I think bluesky can or will tap into Nostr. I think threads will do the same. jack Dorsey suggested Elon to do the same. I think all this will become a standard. is bitcoin a standard? I think think so. What do ya'll think?
If you are friends with the rockefellers you can get a KMA drivers license. Kiss my ass. Please see Alex Jones Interview with Aaron Russo. I think it's a 2007 interview. Other events mentioned in that interview happened in real life already. I advice to replace your privacy concerned thoughts with love thoughts.

Transhumanism is transhumanism. Lesser, greater, middling, it makes no difference. The degree is abritrary; the definitions blurred. If I am to choose between one transhumanism and another, I would rather not choose at all.
