Okay, this blog is almost ten years old. I didn’t really have a plan when I began writing this thing. I didn’t know what a MGTOW was, I had watched the Matrix movies but didn’t know that “red pill” was a cult like term that a group of weirdoes used to pretend that they have esoteric knowledge that others were oblivious too. (And with that, is this wokey thingy the other side of the coin?)
Now, when I started this blog, people had smart phones but they weren’t quite as common as today. Uber and Lyft weren’t quite a thing yet. You could order things online and you could definitely order food but you probably had to talk to someone to get your pizza. You can do that all through an app these days.
This lead me to think that the average person could live like Howard Hughes for a month or perhaps months at a time. Hughes was known for building crazy airplanes like the “Spruce Goose” and later became known as a reclusive eccentric. The point here, is now many people with a smart phone, a credit card and some apps could disappear from public life almost entirely.
Just think, if you work at a job that experiences high turnover, you could just stop showing up. You might not even get a phone call, and your final check would get mailed out. You could burn through your savings paying rent online. And you could order your food and supplies through apps or online. You could instruct the delivery drivers to leave things at the doorstep. And, if you had a camera, you could make sure no one was around when you retrieved them. If family called or tried to stop over, you could probably hide and just follow up with a few texts explaining that you were unavailable. Even 10 years ago, this would’ve been tougher to pull off.
So it looks like something Advocatus Diaboli has described. Society is becoming more atomized and this has all been given to us under the guise of “more convenience.”
