🟢 Living the old ways will return

Over the years I observed the state of society and how we rely so much on wifi, smartphones, internet and social media. I realize we live in a comfortable lifestyle, no hardship (except inflation) but I can't help but think that if we as a society are diving head first toward digital AI, Machine Intelligence and smart tech automation.... then I suspect this will be the downfall of our society. This creates more laziness and entitlement. 


Of course me being Native American, I can't help but think of when the time will come when smart folks will fall back and return to the old ways of living the basic country lifestyle. Basic needs such as home shelter, water and food. Wifi was just a cherry on top but I doubt society will survive mentally without wifi. 🤣


Food will be lab grown, no one will know how to hunt for their food or survive in the wilderness. All this comfort can be gone quickly... but since we are comfortable right now, we don't think of these things. We just think grocery stores will always have food and Starbucks will always be open. 


I'm not Hopi but it has said in the Hopi Prophecy when the last, the seventh fire will be lit, is when society is destroyed and is up to the warriors of wisdom to bring harmony and balance to the world. ...speaking of "world"... Eventually there will be a 3rd world war but who knows when. Some say its already happening, some say it will be a digital warfare... who knows.


But to my understanding and observation, anything can happen but its up to the individual if they want to prepare and work on their survival skills or to understand what it takes to survive when electricity goes out, water plumbing don't work or grocery stores are empty. Then what...


This blog post isn't to scare you. I'm just typing out loud. Thoughts into words. Enjoy the tech we have today but don't take it for granted. Even as a Native American... I will always hold onto my traditional ways and practices. We weren't meant for digital reliance.

my personal opinion is that this will all collapse long before that.
people forget how much it costs to maintain this globalised system that we live in.
everyone knows it isnt sustainable, but they bury their heads in the sand about it.

think about the roman roads and aqueducts. those amazing godlike constructions that people thought would last forever, but as soon as the empire collapsed and they got too expensive to maintain, they all went to ruin and were no good for anything except to scavenge from, thus europe was thrust into the dark ages.
the same will happen to the global electronics grid, internet, satelites, etc etc. im certain of it.

not that im looking forward to it, i really dont know how some people will survive without all the things that maintain the quality of life that theyre used to. sad to think about, to be honest.

I'm looking forward to it as well. Theres too much chaos and dysfunction in society and I think the tree needs to be shook for a reset. If the wifi was down for a month I wouldn't care. A few years ago, I went back to a flip phone for 7 months. It was awesome. No care about the world or social media. Just living like the old days.
