<p>Digital ID is the pattern of the mark in revelation.<p>Once you let go of God (worship of truth and love) the government or other totalitarian force will try to control people top down. The logical way is to identify them.<p>You go from a system of free will and distributed cognition to one of enforcement top down. New things can always be added to it as you don't control it. All the "problems" of the states will tag along.<p>Making it digital is way worse than anything before because it allow to control you without having to pay a cost in enforcement, you control the flow of money, of exchange, you let the computer control people allowing a system so top down the Nazi and communist couldn't even imagine.<p>Worse part, it's already there for sure but in shadow form, they have all the info about the people, it's just not tied to financial transactions and out there in the public.</p>

<p>So a tax financed site telling how it's great to have more tax and regulations.
Not surprising.
Find it very weird to have government trying to gerrymander things just as we are on the cusp of EV transition and autonomy.
Go take a ride in a Tesla with FSD, the future is here, let it come in, get out of the way.
In a few years with autonomous vehicles the need for vehicle ownership wild radically decrease and with that a huge need for parking space will simply vanish.<p>What I suggest instead:
make electricity super cheap use all the ways possible
create space for charger system but let brands compete( don't over regulate)
Allow autonomous system to operate, be a trailblazer in the field.</p>

<p>Go ahead and short Tesla.
Electret has been an anti Tesla machine for years, it used to be mostly positive and at a some point it flipped very hard. I would guess they it's a vendetta or they get paid by someone to spew misinformation.<p>In this case can you imagine the pressure on a high executive with lot's of share with the recent drama around the elections, Trump, Epstein, etc. Again, Elon stand alone in his dedication.<p>I think it's very hard to put a price on Tsla at the moment with FSD getting ready, I just did a family road trip with my (old HW3) Tesla from Montréal to Manhattan it was almost flawless, way safer than if I drove myself. What is the value of that? What is the value of that system in highway trucks that drive all day?</p>

<p>What I find tiring is propaganda and "the message" (if you watch the critical drinker)
The structure of the myth is not a problem if you respect the personages playing it. I just watched Firefly, a sci-fi serie done on a small budget decades ago, it's so much better than the slop we have these days with 100X the budget.<p>Why? Because the personages are different (really diverse) pursue their own goals and try to do good (mostly) in their own weird and incompatible ways.<p>To see that and enjoy it realy show what we lost recently, we are demoralized by our own culture.</p>

<p>A tribe is a collective brain.
That work when people put truth first (Christianity)
As the root of our culture fade out, we tilt toward satanism instead (serving self)
Thus the tribes and institutions can no longer be trusted, everything fall appart, everyone lie all the time to serve the current advantages.<p>I would say discard people and institutions that lie to you, shame them.
We don't have the time and brain power to find the truth in every decision.</p>

<p>This was proven in the Twitter files.
The same was happening in Facebook and Google.<p>There also independant research that prove this. hard to Google ;)<p>Basicaly it's proven that just switching the autocomplete when you search Trump or Kamala can sway the votes of undecided by huge margin.<p>The seek those and switch the suggestion were it matter.<p>They also incite people to go vote depending on the choice and buch of other dirty tricks.<p>You are right that it no longer work. In the end truth will always win because it connect to reality.
Having just X switching to truth will swarm the world.</p>

<p>What you are chasing is your god or a spiritual quest.<p>As you don't have a conception of a global god on top of all the other you swing from one to another: finding myself, doing hard, things, robotics, climate change, girlfriend, pleasure, etc.<p>Those can all be good things, but they are not the top thing.<p>"You will have no other god beside me"<p>The central God is you idea of good, the things beyond your reach.<p>You keep your girlfriend, she become your wife and you have kids.
You can climb montains but it doesn't need to be himalaya, etc.
Maybe your big thing will still end up around physics
Everything in it's place. In the proper amount.<p>Now if you loose one thing it's not the end of your world.<p>This keep you centered and avoid the crazy swings.<p>As we can see in this tale, his god was the startup or money. Once he had more than enought no motivation was left, he killed his god and had to find another one. This happen to a lot of people that reach their goal, instead of being happy they are emotionaly destroyed.<p>I hope this is clear and can help others.</p>
