  1. So much for new technology to keep us secure eh?

    Amazon facial recognition mistakenly confused 28 Congressmen with known criminals

    Amazon is trying to sell its Rekognition facial recognition technology to law enforcment, but the American Civil Liberties Union doesn’t think that’s a very good idea. And today, the ACLU provided some seemingly compelling evidence — by using Amazon’s own tool to compare 25,000 criminal mugshots to members of Congress.
    Sure enough, Amazon’s tool thought 28 different members of Congress looked like people who’ve been arrested.

  2. Food for thought…Getting back to basics:

    ‘Video: How School Holds Kids Back. Retired Public School Teacher and Homeschool Parent Discuss’

    https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-09-20/video-how-school-holds-kids-back-retired-public-school-teacher-and-homeschool

    “Do kids need formal lessons to learn?

    Or do formal lessons stop kids from learning what is important to them?

    Perhaps to excel in anything, the choice of what to study needs to be entirely up to the child, teen, and young adult. That is what we discuss in this video…

  3. ‘Generation being born now is the last to be free – Assange in last interview before blackout ‘

    https://www.rt.com/news/438968-assange-last-interview-blackout/

    “Before his links to the world was cut by his Ecuadorian hosts, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange gave an interview on how technological advances are changing humankind. He said global surveillance will soon be totally unavoidable.

    The interview was provided to RT by organizers of the World Ethical Data Forum in Barcelona. Assange, who is currently stranded in the Ecuadorean embassy in London with no outside communication except with his legal team, has a pretty grim outlook on where humanity is going. He says it will soon be impossible for any human being to not be included into global databases collected by governments and state-like entities…

    • That is all good stuff from Assange, the problem is, most young idiots using the web daily, and various media and services on it, they do not seem to give a rat’s arse about Assange and their own privacy protection. We have already a massively brain washed lot of idiots out there, they seem to embrace ignorance, stupidity, brain washing and selling their own private details for commercial and other reasons.

      It is like a wilful embracing of the future dictatorships we will have, it is deeply disturbing. Those that care should fully opt out of this dictatorial and control system, if they can, and join together in collectives that have self dependence, no state dependence, no commercial dependence on the shit consumerist kind of economy and society we have.

      It will be a small minority that will bother and do this, and the rest will be willing candidates for the future mass annihilation of humans, that will occur, similar to the great flood the Bible and so talk about, as it actually happened about ten or so thousand years ago.

      Most will vanish, a minority that cares and prepares may survive, so we will see how it plays out. I would not waste any time on the majority of self serving and lazy and dumb idiots that make the bulk of society, they deserve to perish, they really deserve to be wiped out, unfit for survival.
