Sirius, the territory of the future…
Read the article linked above. The author has provided a fine context to this project and I felt like it would stealing somebody else’s work if I quoted him here.
Russia has been quite ahead with this digitalization of the public sphere. Above are Yandex delivery bots. CBDCs like the digital ruble will be a tool of control. All your purchases will be tracked. The currency will be programmable. Therefore, a welfare recipient wouldn’t be able to buy booze and cigarettes with it. Facial recognition technology will allow you to make purchases automatically. The only employee of shops will be security until robots take the place of the latter.

Those Yandex robots are taking jobs of Uzbek migrants. Low fertility countries need shit like it.
As for all this digitalization of money, can’t help but to think of:
“And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”
Now someone wants to jump and talk about self-fulfilling prophecy, but again it was written in late 1st century by fisherman.

Bible discusses things like taxes, the business of the money changers, mark of the beast without which one can buy. By the way, money as an innovation was only 500 years old at the time this was written.

True, again if someone could imagine something like universal and only payment system in 1st century it would be a Levantine guy, it’s not just Jews, Phoenicia was a thing, I mean Jews inherited and learned “the money” from them.
Still it’s easy to freak out when you check Athonite prophecies on what will happen before establishing one world currency, and it includes big boom war.
The one point that secularists in Greece and Russia like to make fun of those prophecies is that there’s no such thing as self flying aircraft 💆🏻♀
Granted it could be just one random monk from 18th century making fancy story that others wanted to retell in “fancier” way. Still better to keep eye on Turkey, in prophecy they kinda kickstart all shit. And some of the things spoken on Athos happened. Hagia Sophia turned into mosque again, Turkish incursions into Syria, plus some minor things.
If they invade Georgia or Armenia, we’re into defcon 2 land.

If predictions can be made through astrology then why not through God’s grace.
