Outstanding, RP1 is one of my favs as well and I appreciate your take on the Oasis as the USA - never watched from that perspective and makes for a whole new experience. Hat Tip - by the way as a kid in the 70’s the Stanley Hotel was vacant and we would tear thru the place in the summers...
I wholeheartedly agree on the cringe point. A very fitting movie reference. I will note there are many similarities to todays atmosphere and would encourage anyone to watch the movie, several times. Interesting how I can draw a line to current goings-ons ie: “A new subculture was born, composed of the millions of people who now devoted every free moment of their lives to searching for Halliday’s egg.” = Digital Soldiers , intriguingly similar. I would not have made the connection without this article even though i know this movie well. We have so much to learn, grateful you are here to help.
I saw the Trump rally last night in Washington Township and I listened for clues that Trump would return sooner than later, alas I did not hear them (i.e. I didn't listen to it in its entirety and suspect cloud servers and telcom operators did their best to cause drop outs or voice problems). As US consumers we're accustomed to that "silver bullet" and instant gratification a la Amazon's 'click to buy.' I would think Trump is working on something more permanent and lasting, so I will try to be patient. I would propose adding a fourth key: use technology to advance our goals such that it cannot be used against us, for one day we will do battle with aliens (and the not the ones crossing the border). I believe we are quite advanced in technology and critical tech is still being kept from us. P.S. I follow Clif High.
