Just like the memory of not everyone having a cellphone is fading, so too is our recollection of an integrated functional society.

We have been separated from people for so long that we don't really know anything about each other. The only thing we know is the hyper-reality that is portrayed in social media.

With one look at a persons attire you can be certain of very specific views and or personality traits. I'm sure the algorithms do this too. Imagine if you will, a learning neural net to accurately approximate the net worth of a person based on their looks and vehicle. Cross reference that with the data the DMV sells and you've got a profitable data-stream to sell to someone else.

"Where, when, how do 'target demographic' spend..." So on and so forth. How do you get that data? Buy it, or mine it. All these gullible people that use all this free stuff but do not understand how it works. Snowden considered that to be one of the main underpinnings of totalitarianism.

Anyhow, we are being plundered for profit at the cost of society itself. Humanity is intellectually cannibalizing itself. Without restoration of normal physical relationships among people, government will expand.

I live in a foreign country. The country I grew up in disappeared in the 80s. It has been replaced with people I don't recognize. They speak languages I don't understand. I can't determine their genders. We pay them, house them, feed them and they hate me. They want me dead. This I don't understand because if they kill me and my kin, they will die too because they can't farm, can't cure themselves, can't house themselves, can't communicate outside of ten feet, can't travel other than by foot, can't hunt, can't plan. I suppose if you're this dependent on others, it's because you don't know you're not self sufficient. Interesting paradox.

I lived in a small sect of a city during uni. During my freshman year my buds and I frequented many local shops, venues, and hookah bars. It was nice and bustling. When I was a senior I went back to the same area to relive good times. Little did I know the city let in thousands of Somalian refugees and planted them in my old sect. Half of the venues and shops were shut down. The hookah bar I used to frequent went from clean and vibrant to shady and dirty. Homeless Somalians were laying down all over the streets and would shout at you as you passed by. I miss the memory of that place, long gone now.
