The big question: Does the death of the individual equal the death of free will?

If enough people connect, eventually the person controlling/influencing the system, will become absorbed into it. There's no way to stay disconnected in a world that is constantly joined. The person without a Facebook Account, without a Twitter Account, ect, the person without any of it is the freak. Look at us. We don't use reddit, but we use saidit. We replaced one with the other. We didn't disconnect. The person/people in control won't either, so they will join the collective they created. This leads to a high probability with them (almost certainly) losing control.

This is why I don't think joining the hive is the worst option. Compared to the Warhammer 40k universe of technological stagnation, where humanity waited for A.I. to Thanos snap them, joining the A.I. is the right solution.

What? I was commenting about the joe rogan video. Watch it for yourself. If there are better options I've missed in the youtube link let me know.

It's a life raft. If measures are not taken it will eventually sink. This website took a direct hit with the IP2 fiasco. It's not a question of if, it's when. Unless a miracle happens to put a legal stop to censorship the tech giants are going to crush this site too.
