Slavery 101 in the digital world

When we obtain words or information from corporations we obtain directives that entice us into another action in business / commerce / trade with that corporation in the form of an advertisement.

The advertising world is a very tricky one, meaning it involves trickery.

A simple advertisement would be a brochure, a message on the television, or something as subtle as a price list.

A sneaky advertisement nowadays is when a news reader on the radio is conveying news stories, where without any noticeable pause of differentiation from the previous stories, the reader states that "we have 20% off this year's newest arrivals at (retailer's name)".

The postal service is the ol' tried and trusted way of distributing advertising material, where now it's put on the front of an envelope, as seen in the picture below.


Information today is a much more valuable commodity than good ol' fashioned gold, where any physical product has a 1:1 ratio, compared to 1:Many with regards to this product called (digital) information.

People are being 'enticed' (or rather conned) into providing information in a digitised format, as this is much easier for corporations to distribute than paper.

Australia's previous non compulsory census was done in paper format, where people were enticed to complete it online.

The 'problem' with the census being in paper format was that it had to be scanned, where it was an unnecessary cost to the business, before the information was sold for $41 million (profit) to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABN:26 331 428 522).

In order to lower the 'administration costs' the next census will be solely conducted online, where there is no talk (advertising) of a paper alternative.

If people are not given a choice, they do not live in a democracy, but rather a dictatorship, where in Australia, some may have the view that it's a corporate dictatorship.

Briefly, on the topic of cash, it is such an unnecessary expense to the administration, where going cashless is a much better option for the administration, where the serf population can be monitored and controlled where their movements can later be modified to suit whatever agenda is in stall for them.

Only your actions will determine how your 'person' (the product) will be shuffled from place to place in the digital abyss.

'Rewards' (in the form of cheap snacks) are given to puppies that are obedient to their masters, where "rewards points" are of similar calibre for being an obedient corporate slave.

How much did you sell 'your' data today for? 

Maybe $2 per 50 litres of fuel?


Some people on social media may cry that "we need to help others". 

The reality is first and foremost what have others done to help themselves?
