If the answer is ‘No’, then take immediate steps to adopt a lifestyle as diametrically opposite as possible from the one that makes one dependent on both the tools and mindset of their trade. I stress ‘mindset’ because the state of mind behind the push to turn human beings into biocomputers is not sufficiently rejected by the majority of those using the cult’s tech.…
