Modern Survival

Last Update: September 2021

Many decades ago I was an adventurer. I traveled with bike, bus, by air, or on foot. My "expeditions" where not big (there was only one). Usually they took a week or so. But many times I was equipped with just the bare minimum all in one simple backpack. In those times it was good for you to know how to survive a cold and rainy night, or where to find your next food source. As a vegetarian I am not hunting. Those where very interesting, motivating, and enjoyable times.
Now, many decades have past and we live in a different world - a different reality, or could we say the "new normal"? We have mobile phones, internet, computers you can take into your pocked, we can communicate at speed of light. Those are very positive changes indeed that can help many people to improve various parts of their lives.

There is a less positive contrast to the above we the normal people are facing. Plummeted economical power that lead to greater poverty for millions. Political changes in the form of; heightened corruption, deep state activities of unseeing dimensions, stolen elections, silencing of individuals on legacy social media, terror activities such as 9/11 just to name a few. But it was the Covid pandemic with no end in sight that put the world in turmoil. It gave not only the government but also individuals and large corporations (Big Tech) an opportunity of mandating greater restrictions on all sorts of what we call "freedom". And in order to make sure citizens "comply" they further increased state surveillance.

In pre-internet times "escaping" a 24/7/365 state surveillance was not difficult. You only needed to walk into the next big forest and there was no way you could be surveilled. If today you go anywhere and have your mobile with you, there is no escape from surveillance. Above simple example shows how modern technology has created modern surveillance tools. Now in 2021, more and more people are getting tired, fed up, angry at how State Surveillance is controlling just everything.
Each of those individuals are asking; how can we escape "Modern Surveillance" without disconnecting from society and the real world? That is where "Modern Survival" is trying to give a platform where those topics can be discussed, debated, and disputed.

To be honest, today I can't tell how this group is developing and if we can generate a level of conversation and sharing of experiences that each can take away and apply to their own environment. I do believe this is possible and I am willing to give my time and share made experiences to contribute in finding answers.

This group "Modern Survival" want to invite anyone to join and discuss and share their very own experiences. You can find this group on the Session Messenger platform. If you don't have Session installed, go to https://getsession.org where you get guidance to install the application on your personal device. No email is required, No mobile number is required. Once in Session, ask in any group for @MECsan and you will get help to be added to the "Modern Survival" group. Hope to see you there soon.
