This is a timely and eye-opening post. What strikes me most is how quickly orbital infrastructure has accelerated since 2020, particularly with communication and imaging satellites (real 007 vibes here, but not for the better). It's easy to see how 5G, 6G, and beyond, are rather part of a global surveillance and data-harvesting framework then to bring us "real" value. The irony is brutal when people see figures like Elon Musk as a pro freedom of speech figure, while the technical reality is that these launches directly enable mass observation and AI-driven data collection (like with all of his "wonderful" ideas...).
The atmospheric re-entry of satellites is another layer you might not even consider—decades-long effects on our environment, which future generations will inherit without choice. All of this, combined with ESG, stakeholder capitalism, and systemic “resets,” highlights the repeating pattern once again: centralization, measurement, and governance (not through government though) expanding faster than our capacity to respond (or so we assume).
What’s crucial (and too few people realize) is that small, intentional steps still give us autonomy: reducing dependencies on centralized infrastructure, reclaiming personal data, financial independence, and thoughtful lifestyle choices. These are tangible ways to push back and live outside the system’s assumptions, starting now. The solutions aren't as difficult as many might think, and being 95% independent goes a long way indeed.

PS. we still have tickets left for our very first webinar. Check out https://thenexusformula.com/products/crossing-the-threshold to reserve a seat for January 18th 2026.
In our society, many people are in the camp of ESG, SDGs, war reimbursements, et cetera. But I’m definitely not, and so are you!
F*ck no, indeed!
Timely, informative, and excellent. Thank you, Ron.
