Great piece, Gord. This seems to be drive of the technical system at this point. Real technological gains through genuine innovation and few and far between these days. So the real impetus of the technical system is now showing itself: control. Everything must be monitored and controlled. As you mention in the piece, at some point things will go one step to far. This is what few understood about the Canadian trucker dispute, that while it was on the one hand about Covid, what gave it real energy was all the things detailed in this piece. What happens when this kind of energy builds across multiple sectors at once? A full Butlerian Jihad?

Canadians are good at missing the point. They're too busy being obedient and fearful of being seen as consuming 'misinformation'.
