You need to see this! ORDERING A PIZZA IN OBAMAWORLD!!
For the title, apologies to Ray Bradbury. I couldn't resist.
The link is a video that is tongue in cheek but scary too because it cameos the direction we are going. The world is changing at internet speed and you have to realize that not only is privacy an illusion, but these incredible technologies empower, almost with effortless ease, the development of deep and penetrating tyranny, what some people have called Soft Tyranny but tyranny none the less.
Watch and imagine a world where everything is monitored and taxed and judged by what C.S. Lewis called in his great book The Abolition of Man — The Conditioners.
The Conditioners are the self-appointed intellectuals who given power, decide everything for you, for your own good of course, from birth to death. Perhaps it would not be too different from Brave New World written by Aldus Huxley who died on the same day as C.S. Lewis.
