re: The Health Risks of Living in Isolation

I think living in isolation in solitary confinement is a lot different from living alone in the middle of a forest. For one thing, you are never bored or lacking in things to do or work that needs doing. So, it is prob not just the isolation.

I am becoming very leery of technological developments and how materialistic people are becoming. Technology is advancing rapidly and I am unprepared to accept it. My biggest challenge, without a cell phone, if we go to a cashless society, is how to pay property taxes to hold the land. There will be no more cash registers--we will all be surveilled in so many ways that we can just walk out of a store with merchandise and know it has immediately been charged to our account--if we have a cell phone. This will replace cash-in-pocket and credit cards. Driverless cars are already here, but most people are unaware of it because they are fleet vehicles. These will not work for me in roadless areas or on dirt roads. Eventually, roads will be reserved for driverless cars and there will be no allowances for people who drive their own vehicles. However, once the old vehicles fall apart, there will be no more new vehicles manufactured for drivers who do not want to be plugged into the system. The goal is to herd everyone into cities, any way, where every aspect of their lives can be monitored. Even thoughts. (Google) This total loss of privacy and self-determination will occur when computers interface with brain implants. Those who do not go along (much like being chipped) will be unable to compete in the job market and be relegated to menial labor. However, computers have no common sense or creative problem-solving-ability. They can only do what they are programmed to do. Govt also wants you walking around with a scanable invisible bar code to let them know if you are up-to-date on vaccinations. What else will they store on the chip implants?

My advice to young people is to buy land, hold it, raise something always in demand.
