Here is a link to another post where I shared my ideas on how to counter this – https://lemmy.world/post/37055027
Does Lemmy have a “im14andthisisdeep”?
Hmm, what if I’m an adult, but after getting high, I came up with an alternative world? Great title Isn’t it?
What exactly does the symbol on his forehead mean?
It’s a chip under the skin. This is a kind of replacement for a passport and possibly a smartphone, so to speak, a budget option. And this chip would allow citizens to be tracked at all times. Now this sounds like complete nonsense, but when there is a collapse for example, this could be introduced as some kind of salvation.
It seems overly symbolic, like something you’d see in a heavy-handed sci-fi novel. I don’t doubt that implants like this will become a common thing in the future, but it’s unlikely they’ll be quite so overt.
I honesty can not forsee any future reality in which some kind of weird tattoo / symbol gets permanently imprinted upon your forehead, and people are totally fine with that en masse. It’s a preposterous concept
Ever see or read any cyberpunk? Brain implants that allow a person to psyco analyze people in real time or do math super fast are real possibilities some companies are working on making right now, and will lead to even greater disparity between the poor and the rich when such devices are needed to get ahead in many careers and only affordable by the rich and saddled onto the poor putting them in greater debt.
The “tattoo” in the meme is representing such implants, not an actual tattoo. Though you’d have to know a bit of the OP’s lore to get this, I suppose.
When a global crisis or collapse occurs, whether real or artificial, people are willing to do anything for food, water and safety, even this.
If you think you’ll be a marauder in the case of collapse, you’re not cool.
That’s exactly what I wrote, wasn’t it?
No, that’s absolutely not what you wrote.
