Say No to Digitalization

BY NOOR BIN LADIN

Dear Franklies,

If you were born before 1990 or around that time like me, the world you grew up in no longer exists. Perhaps, it was an illusion all along. However, as the carpet was being pulled from under us and the fabric of our society destroyed before our eyes, I feel blessed to have experienced what felt like real facets of a world that today seems lost.

They call it progress. 

Advances in technology certainly have made many things much more convenient for us humans. But at what cost?

The cost of our children growing up outside, riding their bikes, wandering and developing their imagination. Today, they sit around with an appendix glued to their hands emanating harmful electromagnetic frequencies, programmed to rewire their brains and continue the dumbing down process started with the education system and the mindless TV slop they’ve ingested.

And it’s not just our kids. Look around you - they are emulating their parents, who barely acknowledge their existence as they scroll through and post their fake lives on social media, using vacuous sources for fake dopamine hits. 

To make matters worse, they now wilfully continue their dumbing down process by using AI for basic queries and tasks. Our race to the bottom is being accelerated by our own wilfulness to replace ourselves with robots, or even become chipped cyborgs ourselves.

This is but one of a myriad of gradually deleterious consequences our hyper technological society has had on humanity. 

With this mass adoption of smartphones and their related applications, and with the latest exponential advances in the Internet of Things, 5G, the sophistication of devices and programs including AI, we face the very real threat of being locked up in our own digital jails.

The future looks sterile, in the event that the architects of these tech traps succeed in achieving their goal: to track, trace and control our every move, transaction, and thought.

This digital dystopia is not just the plot of Black Mirror’s “Nosedive” episode, it is indeed the script written by our ruling class and their masters, in order to carve our new reality: “you will own nothing and you will be happy”.

As we hurtle towards the 2030 Agenda, also known as the New World Order, it is imperative that we say “NO” to the digitization of our societies, reject the tech degeneration of humanity and protect the natural expression of the biological human.

This is the message of a project I’ve been working on with three anon friends of mine. It’s called ANTI MATTERS, and you can find all the relevant information on “www.antimatters.world", along with our rad merch. Our goal is to help raise awareness on the dangers of our digitized world, by sharing helpful information and sparking conversations in our environment with our thought-provoking designs.

Here is our manifesto:

ANTI MATTERS protects the natural expression of the biological human.

ANTI MATTERS rejects all means that harm our biological, mental and spiritual integrity as humans.

ANTI MATTERS rejects the hybrid, digitized human.

ANTI MATTERS rejects the replacement of human creation and labor by machines.

ANTI MATTERS reminds people to honor their humanity and to not give it away to those who despise it.

ANTI MATTERS encourages people to maintain autonomy as a bio human and offers information on how.

I hope you will join us as we build our community at ANTI MATTERS, explore solutions with us, and wear our products. Despite the dark nature of the topic we cover, we truly enjoy working together on this project which sparked our creativity, highlighting what we are actually fighting for and what no machines will ever be able to replace: human ingenuity.

However, they will do everything in their power to stifle it. 

As the walls of these digital jails are closing in, we must reverse course before it is too late, and make sure we create and own our reality.

The time to “get real” is now.
