Anything that has to do with all of us.

Technology, finance, startup culture — all of these communities have developed their own language, with slang and jargon so common that they’ve passed into wider use. (What is a “platform,” anyway?)

It’s no different outside the Anglosphere, where an array of unique terms and phrases adopted by startups around the world have come into fashion. Here’s our guide to decoding some of the more notable (and notorious) terms.

Patent 060606 (patentscope.wipo.int)

I don’t think anything else needs to be said. Do your own research and draw your own conclusions.

What are the chances a device on the body that is used for digital translations would have a patent number 060606 ?

Also, Microsoft patented this on March 26th of 2020.

The full patent id is WO/2020/060606.

From the Patent:

“Human body activity associated with a task provided to a user may be used in a mining process of a cryptocurrency system. A server may provide a task to a device of a user which is communicatively coupled to the server. A sensor communicatively coupled to or comprised in the device of the user may sense body activity of the user. Body activity data may be generated based on the sensed body activity of the user. The cryptocurrency system communicatively coupled to the device of the user may verify if the body activity data satisfies one or more conditions set by the cryptocurrency system, and award cryptocurrency to the user whose body activity data is verified.”

Okay, this is creepy. Mark of the beast?

But read for yourself. Here is the link to the patent:

The World Bank, an organization that sets a lot of world policy together with the IMF, BIF and the CFR, is very proud of their efforts to give people of Malawi (small dot on the map called Malawi south of Sahara in Africa) access to Water Kiosks. No obeying means no water card which means no water.

The World Bank would have paid for public fountains where everyone could get water for FREE without a "water card" if they had actually wanted to help people. They didn't.

People here talk about "democracy" as if there were one. Anyone who does not follow the worldwide doctrine of capitalism and moves outside democratic "parliamentarism" and resists oppression, becomes an enemy of the "state". Is that democracy? No, it is authoritarianism. The more capitalism is fought, the more totalitarianism is created.
