The David Berg cult was right about a few things ! This includes cashless society, supermarkets spying on our shopping habbits, we are slaves to the aisles and Transhumanism. I wonder if the WEF were in the Berg cult ?

It's all about the reasons though isn't it GM?

Waitrose track my shopping habits. To make money or as part of a web of intrusive oversight? I think it is just to max profits. Cashless society? Well, inevitable really: it is easier and more convenient to swipe a card than carry around notes and coins. A cashless society was as inevitable as the car replacing the cart & horse.

Of course tech can be used for nefarious Gov purposes. Just as the Stasi used tech at that time to spy; or Walshingham in Elizabethan England used what was then available.

I think we live in a part of the world where tech is used to maximise profits. It is just one reason to support market economics as our principle "ideology". When you look at all other potential driving forces, it is by far the most appealing.
