Hi Everyone,
Before I begin this week's report, I wanted to quickly mention a couple of milestones. A few weeks ago, my reputation climbed up to 70. I have been sitting on 69 for quite sometime, so finally hitting 70 felt great. It has taken me about 3 1/4 years to reach. I admit, I had some help from the bots for a few months at the end of 2017 and early 2018. The other milestone is that I have over 100 Actifit Reports. I think this will be report number 103. I found out from the actifit website where I claimed my 90+ post badge. The next badge is for 120 posts.
Activity Report
There's been a few rainy days over the past week, which has kept me indoors. I managed to get out a little bit. Yesterday was grocery shopping day. It was raining a bit on the way there but there was a break in the weather on the way back. It rained again in the afternoon. Today, looks a lot brighter. I expect to take a walk in the evening if the weather holds.
Content
I've had a busy week content wise. I posted twice and both posts were quite deep. In the first post, I returned to the topic of Covid-19. I wrote about Covid-19 several months ago. Those posts focused on the economic and social impacts of the pandemic and restrictions. This time, I focused on Covid-19 and pandemics in general as a manipulation tool. This hypothesis is based on the responses taken by Governments. Many Government responses have been disproportionate to the threat of the virus. I discussed Australia's response in an earlier post.
A pandemic could be an ideal tool to manipulate people if the threat appears credible and prolonged. It would involve fearmongering from Government, media and even scientists. Government would also need a monopoly on the response as well as cure and/or vaccine. I explain how all of this can be done as well as compared this strategy to what is actually happening with Covid-19 in many countries.
In my second post of the week, I discuss labels and self-labelling. Labelling is nothing new. People label themselves to become part of a group and often label others based on stereotypes. Labelling can be bad if used to belittle others. In my post, I discuss a more recent development in regards gender and sexual orientation labelling. The number of labels used has increased enormously over the past few decades. I believe gender labelling has caused sexual orientation labelling to jump. LGBTQ+ movement has pulled the concepts of gender and sexual orientation under one banner. This has caused a trivialisation of more clearly defined sexual orientations as sexual orientation is being treated as existing on a spectrum.
Upcoming Work
I am focusing on the Blockchain Economy again. In my next post, I will discuss how the blockchain can be incorporated into Government as well as how it can replace many functions of Government. The post is going to be mostly idea based. Therefore, it could be a little messy but I believe the ideas can be built on to create a new system superior to the broken two-party representative democracy plaguing the western world.
That brings me to the end of this Actifit Report and Update. I wish everyone a great week.
