Time and Technology Are Overwhelming Us




As the world turns, so do the days of our lives…

The line from the soap opera “Days of Our Lives,” which was on in the 80s and 90s. My grandma used to watch those shows along with “Highway to Heaven.” I remember watching some of them with her, which seems like a lifetime ago.

Time and technology are interesting topics in my mind. Time for how it is hard to describe, difficult to analyze in its impact and scope. Technology for how it is taking over our lives and conditioning us in immeasurable ways.

In general, time and technology are moving faster than my ability to understand them in any coherent way; in any way that helps me make sense of their impact in my life or society in general.

While time has been a constant factor in measuring the change that occurs for our ever-dying and decaying human bodies, technology has come about with a vicious agenda, a hyper-intensified importance and progression.

Technology has rapidly changed our perception of time; in my opinion, it has sped up our lives by giving us constant stimulation. We are over-stimulated, always having entertainment, always having communication, always having recreation through technology. There are no dull spots in our lives, except for the dullness of our non-thinking brains that have given up on understanding and given in to pleasure and easy living.

Mush brains, no longer able to think critically, hooked into the hive mind (the technological brain that directs us through supernatural genius and centralized power). Automotons we’ve become, or are becoming, with every technological advance.

God is in control, He foresaw this coming and knows what will happen.

Supernatural evil genius can do its best, but ultimately, it will fail. As for most people, they are on the broad way to destruction. They are sure of themselves and what they know; they shouldn’t be, but the hive mind directs them both on the left and the right.

Most are fighting for their home (this world) and their temporary lives in it; this is their home, this is their everything; what else is there? They don’t believe there is another realm that is their true home; they don’t believe in anything except for themselves, and who and what is that?

The hive mind is getting stronger as technology integrates more and more into our lives, society, business, and every aspect of the world we are part of.

Technology is the solution for the problems it creates, until it becomes the problem no one can escape.

That point is coming; our higher intelligence as humans tells us this is true. When technology becomes our master, our controller, and rules over us without mercy or human kindness.

God is still with us, but are we with God? Is this our world we have to fight for and have strong opinions about, or is our home with God, and we are strangers and pilgrims in this temporary place?

Technology and time are interesting topics, ones that aren’t easy to cover anymore. It seems that because of technology, we’ve become short of time; it seems time is running out as technology progresses. Is this true?

If technology weren’t advancing, would time seem to be running out? Or, would we have the perspective that we had plenty of time for ourselves and the generations to come?

Technology is not only changing our perspective on how much time is left for humanity, but it is also changing how humans act and behave — further leading us to conclude our time is short, as this type of destructive behavior can only shorten our time before the end of the world as we know it.

Time with technology involved has become overwhelming, which is why most people just drink and do drugs. They just want to escape the overwhelming aspects it brings and enjoy the pleasure it brings instead.

Besides, what can we do about it? It is like a train coming that we can’t stop. All we can do is maybe get off the tracks or prepare for the inevitable collision. Still, this messes with our brains, our emotions. How can we stay optimistic about the future with all of this noise and future calamity?

Well, God is still with us. Not in the way the world wants us to think, not in the way people who think this is their home want us to think, but in the quiet place outside of the hive mind collective.

That’s what matters in this time and technology mess. Yet, you can’t love the world and God at the same time. You can’t believe in lies and the truth at the same time. And if it is what the majority believes, you can know it isn’t the truth, cause narrow is the way and few there are who find it.

That doesn’t mean it is hard to find it, yet it does mean you have to stop thinking this world is where you will find heaven. Deception wouldn’t be deceiving, unless it resembled the truth, such as false religion is deceiving; for instance, like Catholicism looks like Christianity, etc.

While time and technology change our lives, the main battle stays the same, yet with different characters and different tactics. Do we know the enemy, can we discern through true history and the present truth, what and who the enemy is? Cause that enemy is going to pretend to be our friend, it is going to morph into a deception that is palatable to our senses, which the hive mind manipulates so well.

If we love the truth, though, we will prevail and see through the deception; we will find the way home in the end. Praise Jesus for this.

Working in the Addiction Field

Press enter or click to view image in full size Why being a Substance Use Disorder counselor is meaningful. Why being a Substance Use Disorder counselor is meaningful. Recently, I was hired to work as an addiction counselor for substance use disorders. The official title is Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor (CADC) intern, or a Substance Use Disorder counselor (SUD). I wanted to explain why this is a meaningful field to work in. When looking at the statistics for substance abuse in the U.S., the numbers are significant, yet they don’t or can’t tell the entire story. These stats are gathered mostly from the self-disclosure of people being surveyed or screened/treated for substance abuse; this means the stats exclude people not screened or treated, and include people being dishonest about their answers. A few interesting stats ( U.S. population: 347 million ): 29.8 million individuals have an Alcohol Use Disorder in the U.S (NCDAS, 2023). 134.3 million individuals have used alcohol wit...

Dallas Residents Have Medieval Times to Keep Them Entertained

One of the more fascinating attractions in Dallas, TX must be Medieval Times at the Dallas Castle , where dining out takes on an entirely new flavor of excitement. Residents living in Dallas are only minutes away from turning back the clock and having the time of their lives at Medieval Times in Dallas, TX. Dinner and a Tournament Are Only an Arrow's Flight Away! Many may remember this exalted restaurant when it was showcased in the movie "Cable Guy" starring Jim Carrey in 1996. While patrons may not actually get into the arena like the actors in the movie did, essentially, they'll be able to place a cardboard crown on their heads while they eat a meal of kings and queens and watch the two-hour tournament from front row seats, cheering in between bites and drinks of course. The meal-time tournament entertainment consists of 6 knights in shining armour jousting on real-life horses (steeds), sword fighting with real swords, and conducting the flight of the ...

Thrown in the Trash by NewsBreak

Out with the old, in with the robots. My time writing for NewsBreak is now over. The upstart news app used writers like me to get their bandwagon going, and now it has discarded us after becoming respectable in the realm of news. I can’t blame them when it comes to me, as I’ve been writing opinion pieces exclusively for the last year. I started out writing local news articles about Oregon, but changed my strategy because of time constraints. I would take news articles from Oregon and rewrite them basically; not with AI, just with my noggin. Some did well, others were stalled by their algorithm. I could never tell if an article would do well or not. All in all, I made more money with NB than any other writing effort online besides copywriting. This brings me a lot of satisfaction with my time there, but sadly, it has come to an end. Recently, they sent me an email explaining they are going to make all the contributors reapply to be a contributor, as their strategy has changed; something...
