Please also check out the book titled The Invisible Rainbow The History of Electricity and Life by Arthur Firstenberg, a book which is very much about the 4th industrial revolution. Read the last chapter first - very scary stuff.
Another aspect of the industrial revolution which is having far-reaching effects on the health of all biological organisms (including of course human beings) is the now all-pervasive presence of toxic chemicals including glyphosate, antibiotics, micro-plastic particles etc etc. All new born babies now have traces of more than 100 such items in their blood.
Most of this is fear hype, by means of which the greens will be enforcing their dictatorship, by demanding more big policy, taking away more rights, and cracking down on industry and small business in the name of health and the environment.
I think some of is hype and smoke blowing, but the ambition is real!! And so is the ability to break things in the manner of the clumsy elephant in a china shop!!
""presence of toxic chemicals including glyphosate, antibiotics, micro-plastic particles"
To call things toxic, without nuance, without relativity, making it black and white, is the trick. Toxicity has a level, even many substances considered as natural and healthy become toxic depending on the amount. The body can handle an amazing amount of toxic substances. Fear, worries and anxiety are the most toxic, and biology is the game of control and spreading of fear. Currently, all such considerations, about health of people and the environment will be co-opted and only aid the fanatics and the controllers, bringing about more 'toxicity' in society than any of these substances.
A person may well buy "ecological" ginger to help save the planet. The ecological variety is packed in a neat little woven basket or plastic case, all wrapped in cellophane and with a large plastic sticker with the logo printed on it. About 150 grams ginger per unit.
The un-ecological variety, about 250 grams per piece of ginger, are all just poured out into a large box at the store, no individual wrapping.
And the persons buying the "ecological" planetsaving variety perceive nothing strange about this, and gladly pays more than 50% more for less of the same thing.
Because they are inundated with fears, and buying the magical token, the plenary indulgence and simonious symbol of virtue if you will, briefly releives them of this guilt-fear and stress.
But as with all "hits", you soon experience withdrawal and need another one.
Technopriests always forget a fundamental thing: there's nothing a human can make, that a human cannot break.
Bingo!
Night of the Long MonkeyWrenches...
Indeed!!
Very interesting set of references.
