Futurism and its Failures: A Critique of Bernard Marr’s 10 Predictions for 2022
I’m going to write this article knowing full well that many people will hate me for it. So be it. The guy who wrote the source article for this article is apparently a very famous futurist named Bernard Marr. I’ve never heard of the guy. I’m probably picking a fight with someone who will get me silenced and sue me but I’m way past the point where I care about any of that. Everything he sees as a grand societal innovation is another reason I started The Center for the Preservation of Humanity in the first place.
All of the quotes in this article, authored by Bernard Marr, titled The Top 10 Tech Trends in 2022 Everyone Must Be Ready For Now, dated February 28, 2022 were found on 3/17/2022 at https://bernardmarr.com/the-top-10-tech-trends-in-2022-everyone-must-be-ready-for-now/.
His bio reads:
“Bernard Marr is a world-renowned futurist, influencer and thought leader in the fields of business and technology, with a passion for using technology for the good of humanity. He is a best-selling author of 20 books, writes a regular column for Forbes and advises and coaches many of the world’s best-known organisations. He has over 2 million social media followers, 1 million newsletter subscribers and was ranked by LinkedIn as one of the top 5 business influencers in the world and the No 1 influencer in the UK.”
Futurists, in general, seem to have a really hard time with Biblical history, cause and effect, dissent, and display an amazing ability to cherry-pick their desired version of history to justify the future they see. In other words, I don’t see these people as grounded. They are smart and they may even prove to be correct. For instance I believe Marr’s predictions are absolutely correct, for the most part, in this article. What I take issue with is the absolute lack of any reflection on Marr’s part about what this will actually mean for humanity.
The first 2022 trend he predicts is:
“#1: Computing Power
“Computing power will continue to explode in 2022. We now have considerably better cloud infrastructure, and many businesses are re-platforming to the cloud.
“We are also seeing a push towards better networks – 5G is being rolled out, and 6G is on the horizon. That means even more power in our phones, in our cars, and in our wearable devices.”
With all technology it is a matter of how it is used. Planck’s ideas and Einstein’s idea created human fission which can be used to make mushroom clouds or electrical power.
A. What will the increased computer power be used for? Increased computing power will be used to further collect data on all of us, enhance AI capabilities, and mine for cryptocurrencies mostly.
B. Who will possess the bulk of it? Being as though most of humanity is suffering under the Great Reset, the vast majority of increased computing power will be held by governments and business both of which will conduct surveillance on everyone and use AI to recognize what they consider questionable content and arrest or censure the individual(s) depending on the institution’s powers.
C. Why are businesses moving to the cloud? It is my opinion that cloud-based platforms are being increasingly used because the data in storage can be more easily shared and/or stolen.
D. Who else will have access to cloud-based platforms? The chip manufacturers of the cloud-based data systems will likely have access to the data, as well as the user, and the company or government which collected it and any of their sharing partners, and any hacker who wants the information.
E. What will 5G and 6G do to people? 5G and 6G will not be studied because any study will show massive increases in cancers and psychological issues. Movie streaming will be faster, though. That way the public can passively accept all those smart devices hooked up to the Internet of Things which is intended to enslave the people dependent on it.
“#2: Smarter Devices
“Growing computer power is enabling us to create smarter devices. We now have intelligent televisions, autonomous cars, and more intelligent robots that can work alongside humans to complete more tasks.
“In 2022, we’ll see continued momentum for this smart device explosion, including the introduction of intelligent home robots.”
A. Do we need this? None of us need any of these ‘smart’ things. The only people who desire these smart things are those sold on the convenience they pretend to offer and those with malignant intentions. Those intentions are to monitor resource usage in real time. The main reason to monitor resources in this manner is to be able to turn the resource off if the individual or a group exceeds a set quota for a period of time. It’s a scheme called technocracy.
B. Marrs is describing the convenience factor which is the sole selling point of any of these ‘smart’ devices, so are they really convenient? Being enslaved by a global technocratic dictatorship does not seem to be too convenient. Convenience does not seem to entail being starved, dehydrated, and without shelter. The social controls in such a system will be terrifying.
C. Will the robots take the human’s job? Yes, robots will take your job.
D. What are these in-home ‘smart’ ‘robots really going to accomplish? In-home ‘smart’ robots will make people dependent on them. As an added benefit, the robots will create 3D maps of your home. As they become more sophisticated with better communications technologies they will be able to document when you go out when you come in, when you eat dinner, how many people are in the home at any time, how many pets and which kind, as well as record any conversation held within the abode of the device and even take live video of you and your family.
“#3 Quantum Computing
“The trend of quantum computing — the processing of information that is represented by special quantum states – enables machines to handle information in a fundamentally different way from traditional computers. Quantum computing will potentially give us computing power that is a trillion times more powerful than what we get from today’s advanced supercomputers.
“I predict that in 2022, quantum computers could fundamentally change how we approach problems like logistics, portfolio management, and drug innovations.”
This is the only prediction of Marr’s article that I don’t completely agree with. Quantum computers are still in their infancy. As quantum measurements become more economical, however, the cost and availability will likely come down. Also needed to make quantum computing a mainstream commercialized industry is a much enhanced refrigeration system to generate temperatures a few degrees above 0o Kelvin along with more affordable electricity. The latter is absolutely not happening right now.
“#4 Datafication
“Data is a key enabler for all of these trends. All of the digitization in our world today means we have enormous amounts of data available, and data has now become the number one business asset for every organization. We can use data to better understand our customers, research key trends, and get insight into what’s working inside our organizations.”
I wrote about this at https://www.centerforthepreservationofhumanity.com/surveillance (it costs $2.00 – every other newsletter is free). Something I didn’t include in that pamphlet is the fact the data collected, especially on consumers, is basically stolen. Getting out of the data-collection agreement is buried in the terms of service that no one reads. All Marr’s is saying here is that governments companies are going to increase their efforts to collect data (including health data) from every individual to better use psychological and advertising techniques to get them to comply to their wishes.
If you think I am blowing smoke up your bum, did the globe not just suffer under COVID-19? And what was that but a private-public-partnership (fascist) designed to convince every human on earth to get a shot in their arm. What did you do? Are you buying the Russia-Ukraine narrative your country wants you to believe? Will you sell your soul (take the mark of the beast) for a pound of flour (I ask because that is coming: Revelations 6:6 - “Then I heard what sounded like a voice from among the four living beings say, ‘Two pounds of wheat for a day's wages! Six pounds of barley for the same price! But don't damage the oil or the wine!’” -Complete Jewish Bible). Answering those questions now will greatly help you later.
“#5 Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
“Organizations and researchers are now using all their data and computing power to provide advanced AI capabilities to the world.
“One of the key trends in the AI world is machine vision. We now have computers that can see and recognize objects on a video or photograph. Language processing is also making big advances, so machines can understand our voices and speak back to us.
“Low-code or no-code will also be a huge trend this year. We will be able to build our AI using drag-and-drop graphical interfaces, so we can develop extraordinary applications without being limited by our coding skills.”
A. Where did the data come from (a recap). The data was de facto stolen from the vast majority of us.
B. Can AI really ‘recognize’ objects in an image? AI cannot detect all video or images. Any image an AI was not trained on, will result in a low probability of it being correct, for now.
C. How well do AI’s ‘understand’ our voices? Ask your phone for something bizarre, not perverse. If you are really daring, send a voice text using words that are close to your spouse’s name, especially other names, and send it to your significant other – you may want to proofread it first.
D. What will Low and No-Code solutions enable? Low and No-code ‘solutions’ to AI will bring about a security crisis which will need to be solved by making trying to log into a computer system dependent upon biometric entry systems, ie., facial scans, retinal scans, blood samples. It is synonymous with the invention of CRISPER-CAS9.
“#6 Extended Reality
“We now have more augmented reality (AR) capabilities on our devices (particularly our phones and tablets), and we're seeing an even bigger push toward virtual reality (VR). In 2022, we'll see new, lighter, more portable VR devices, so instead of having clunky headsets that require WiFi connections, we will have devices that are more like glasses that connect to our phones and give us superior VR experiences on the go.
“These extended reality advances pave the way for incredible experiences in the metaverse, a persistent, shared virtual world that users can access through different devices and platforms.”
The idiots already in the metaverse and all of the rest of humanity witnessing this abomination need to take a step back and ask, why does the metaverse exist and why are people clamoring for it. I could get really long winded here, but suffice it to say the answers to those questions is because people are dissatisfied with their lives, have had their connections to reality broken, do not know Jesus Christ nor God, do not know any alternative objective truth bigger than mankind, and think that the grass is greener on the other side. Isolation breeds loneliness. We’ve all been told to isolate for over two years now. The metaverse is the easy way out to see that the grass is greener on the other side. As it evolves, the metaverse will only be accessible to those whom think (this technology is designed to be implanted in human brains) in terms of supporting the beast system befalling humanity right now, and who sacrifice their bodies – physical transhumanists.
“#7 Digital Trust
"Blockchain technology, distributed ledgers, and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are transforming our world, and we will continue to see advances in this technology in 2022. These innovations go beyond Bitcoin to things like smart contracts that allow us to verify ownership with NFTs. This year, we will see more companies and individuals enhancing physical objects with blockchain technology and tokens.”
All of this will be banned from existence, the assets either erased entirely or converted into the official digital currency of the nation in which the asset-holder resides. China is the role model for such events. They have already done both, even though their digital currency is still in its pilot stage. The Federal Reserve System along with the United States Treasury Department is exploring the opportunity to create it’s own digital currency called FedCoin. Blockchains outside of the ‘official’ state-sponsored blockchain will be made illegal and counterfeit laws will be applied.
While I admire the idea of blockchain, the banking institutions will wage a war to stop them from gaining any more traction and the militaries of the world will be directed by their leaders to follow the bankers decrees. That war will be against those who refuse to abdicate their digital asset holdings.
“#8 3D Printing
“We can now make things with 3D printing that we would never have dreamed of a decade ago. In 2022, we’ll see transformations in manufacturing and beyond, from 3D printing technological innovations, including mass-produced customized pieces, concrete for houses, printed food, metal, and composite materials.”
I loved the idea of 3D printing until people started getting in legal trouble for making their own firearms with the technology. United States citizens have a 2nd Amendment which is only legally constrained to weapons possessed by the US military. Any other constraint is unconstitutional. Notice, Marr doesn’t speak to making self-defense pieces.
Marr writes about making food with them though. Who wants to eat 3D printed food? No one. What is the nutritional content? That’s highly suspect. It seems to depend on who needs what and when they need it – introducing not only caloric needs being surveilled for each person but each person’s vitamin and mineral levels being surveilled.
Put in the current context, are you a white, Christian, male who thinks the 2020 election was stolen? Yes you say – then you will get styrofoam that tastes like tofu. Are you a black transsexual female who has sterilized themselves? We will print you 1,000 years of seven course meals with all of your daily vitamin and nutritional needs.
And before anyone tries to call me a sexist, racist, religionist, or any other -ism or -ist, in the past week a leftist murderer’s charges were dropped in Denver, Colorado, and a gay black man was released from jail after falsely reporting a heinous hate crime while about 100 white men are being held without trial, suffering from torture from their black guards, in solitary confinement in the Washington DC jail. I don’t care if your skin is beyond albino or blacker than night. I care about the content of your character. But the powers that be, in this instance the illegitimate United States presidential administration, do care about the color of your skin. It shows through in the policies they have enacted which is an attempt to put us at each others throats.
But I’m rambling; the 9th trend Marr wrote about was:
“#9: Genomics
“The 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to two scientists, Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer A. Doudna, for their work developing a method for genome editing. Genomics, gene editing, and synthetic biology are a top trend of 2022 because these advancements can help us modify crops, cure and eradicate diseases, develop new vaccines like the COVID-19 shot, and other medical and biological breakthroughs.
“Nanotechnology will also allow us to give materials new attributes by manipulating them on a subatomic level, so we can create things like bendable screens, better batteries, water-repellent, self-cleaning fabrics, and even self-repairing paint this year”
A. Is further modifying crops with nanotechnology beneficial? Do you want to eat nanobots? I don’t. On top of that I will reject any claim that nanotechnology-grown food will be free of nanobots.
B. Is curing and eradicating diseases beneficial? Of course it is. But is it worth putting hundreds of thousands or even millions of nanobots inside your body, making you a cyborg? I spoke to at length already. You can find it here.
C. Is the gene-therapy called a vaccine, the COVID-19 death job, beneficial? The people who pushed any COVID-19 vaccine are murderers. Period. Full stop. Murderers. Who wants to see more people have their DNA mutated and die from it? If that’s you, you’re a murderer too.
D. Is nanotechnology in relation to medical and biological (as Marr implies) beneficial? No. All it will do is corrupt human and animal DNA and kill people.
E. Are consumer goods infused with nanotechnology beneficial? No. how will those nanobots behave once in your home? Will they keep your screen bendy and your paint crisp, or will they crawl into your bodies and start performing medical experiments? I don’t know the answer to that and neither do you, only the AI that controls them will know that answer.
If you got this far, THANK YOU! Now for the last prediction Marr made:
“#10: New Energy Solutions
“The last hugely important trend is new energy solutions. As we tackle climate change, we'll see continued advances in the batteries we use in our cars, as well as innovations in nuclear power and green hydrogen. These new trends will allow us to power our ships, our planes, our trains and generate energy for the general public.”
To make this very brief, remember, you and I and ALL life on earth is carbon-based. Carbon is the target of eradication for the ‘greenies’. That’s you! That’s every life form you have ever seen…. They are waging war not only against you and I but against all of life itself, even themselves. Their war will be won when Malthus is proven correct by their mandated scarcity. The mandated scarcity will arrive when full technocratic dictatorship arrives.
That day is very close, and I will tell you why.
Russia produces over one-third of the worlds ammonium nitrate. This is turned into fertilizer. Ammonium nitrate is produced by the Haber process which includes burning hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons release carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a pollutant according to the US EPA, thus banned without mitigation. On February 2, 2022 Russia banned the export of ammonium nitrate until April 2, 2022. While I don’t agree with either NATO or Russia, The Russian Federation invaded Ukraine after decades of NATO aggression on 2/24/2022. Sanctions were placed on Russia, and Russia announced a sanction on the export of ‘agricultural products’. This includes ammonium nitrate. The United States itself depends, in part, on Russian imports of ammonium nitrate. Without nitrogen in the soil, plants will not grow very well. The result will be about 2 BILLION dead from starvation in the very near future.
Of course, this is provided the a-holes with ‘the bomb’ don’t go MAD-resistant and nuke the whole damned planet and this goes straight out to the likes of known scumbags such as Lindsey Graham and Mark Warner. If that’s what you want – for humanity to die and suffer – YOU GO FIRST. And the same sentiment goes to those traitor retards who went to Ukraine to fight the Russians – you did nothing to promote nor save the US – you are all TRAITORS to the United States People. You went and fought for NAZI’s.
As for Marr on the Russia-Ukraine issue, the historically-illiterate moron can only look at his hand in front of his face - “In the name of humanity, for the people of Ukraine, for the people of Russia, and for the people of the world - stop this now!” Wake up MARR, NATO set the trap, Putin, sadly, fell for it, and now there is mass death. But you know what, Marr. If Russia wanted Ukraine with no people, they’d have bombed the living crap out of every suspected combatant hold without hesitation using the very technologies you exalt. Putin didn’t do that, save your fake outrage, Bernard Marr. And I will extend that to the whole Western world that precipitated this.
To all of those seeking the straight path, may God Bless you and keep you. Be safe in His Word. It TRULY is the ONLY way.
