Yes, you. You control the Information Age. Welcome to your world.

And if you believe this, then it's worked. Yes, you have perhaps more convenience and capability than ever before. But you don't control anything. Large institutions control everything. In fact, you've sacrificed personal freedom, economic prosperity, liberty, and privacy to enable this to come about. From the food you eat, to the clothes you wear, to the 'indie' this n that which you seek out in order to feel like you're still an individual. Even this article which soothes your wary soul into thinking it's okay comes from a large corporate source. Yes, even the religious establishment of your choice is most likely a corporation. So while you may move through the anxieties of life with the greatest of ease and capability, don't think for a second that you are in control. Big money is in control and the second you take the red pill, you'll understand that.
