Companies are collecting our intelligence to sell back to us in the future. So many companies have figured out that humans are the most lucrative product. And theyve been doing everything in their power to collect our thoughts, ideas and behaviors. The data collection is disguised as fun dopamine hits but the end goal is to make us reliant on  social media, search engines and AI tools. So dependent that we will eventually be buying back our own human intelligence. A buddy and I explored this theory in this video and would love to hear your thoughts on it.

​

I have been obsessed with this question for the past few weeks and no matter what side you are on, its fun to think about.

Here is what got me thinking. The human body was not built for space. Our lungs need a specific atmospheric pressure. Our cardiovascular system depends on gravity to function properly. Our bones start deteriorating within weeks in zero gravity environments. Even with all of our technology we have essentially built elaborate life support systems that recreate Earth's conditions inside a metal tube and then launched that tube into an environment that would kill us instantly without it.

So the question I keep coming back to is -- have we actually left Earth or have we just taken a small piece of Earth with us and called it space travel?

And then there is the Van Allen radiation belt situation. The belts surrounding Earth contain levels of radiation that by most accounts should be lethal for extended human exposure. We apparently passed through them multiple times during the Apollo missions with relatively minimal shielding. The more I read the more questions I have.

I put together a video exploring both sides of this with my buddy who fully believes we never left earth. Im not sold on that claom yet but the conversation is interesting either way. Would love to hear where people in this community land on it.
