What comes next may be too dark to process for many. Although much of what we cover tonight will be hypothetic, graphic and disturbing content disclaimers are in order for tonights content. There will be some history, some fantasy, and a lot of future potentialities… possibilities of the varieties I think I can safely say none of us want. What does a glimpse into our potential futures look like?
Most are familiar with who George Orwell was, and even his works of fiction we now see as our warning and for many, our oppressors playbook.
We see it happening daily, we see the scurrying masses in constant disarray, disconnected, almost panicking because they see nothing clearly, let alone what might be coming if we don’t find some clarity, some direction, some unity, some understanding… a path off of the sinking ship.
People think it starts with chaos. People think they will get warnings. People think sanity will prevail before chaos strikes. I’ve said many times that only a 1776 can prevent a 1984 reality. What happens if we don’t? what does or could that look like? Who will be the players? What can we the civilians do? Are we prepared? What does prepared mean? Without modern tech, how were the ‘minute men’ prepared when 1776 became a real thing?
Orwell warned us. He said don’t let it happen, we did… How close are we? Are we at a turning point? Or past it? Is there a resistance? How do they work? Can we learn from them? Can we create the networks we need? What does the first 24 hours look like? How will we know?
What we discuss tonight will be closer to the things I prayed we would never see, but maybe seriously need to see more clearly than ever before.
Buckle up!
