Hawaii - "Government Officials Contradict Own Citizens" Accounts on Maui Fire Disaster.

7 Nov 2023 In the aftermath of the devastating August fire that claimed over 100 lives in Lahaina, Maui, an independent journalist partnered with Project Veritas to investigate the claims of Lahaina residents who shared their water and electricity was not functioning on the morning of the deadly fire. This journalist held meetings with multiple representatives from the Maui mayor’s office and the governor's office, all of whom clung to the official narrative that the water supply had not been interrupted. As the historic town of Lahaina continues to grapple with the devastating aftermath of these fires, community members continue to raise questions about the government’s emergency response.

O FIM DA HUMANIDADE – Conforme Planejado Pelos Líderes Globais (legendado)

Líderes mundiais, bilionários e organizações como o Fórum Econômico Mundial declaram publicamente que querem acabar com a humanidade e entrar em uma nova era de neo-humanidade, onde a maioria das pessoas será substituída por ciborgues e robôs humanoides que serão controlados por IA. Todos os outros serão forçados a se tornar um ciborgue: uma simbiose entre homem e máquina, conectados à nuvem, de onde a IA monitorará todos os seus pensamentos, sentimentos e ações. Eles também estão implementando um sistema de vigilância que registrará tudo o que você pensa, sente e sonha. Parece loucura, mas é a dura realidade de hoje, como você pode ver neste filme. Não perca isso, mas fique informado sobre o que os líderes globais estão planejando para o seu futuro.

Re-animate the city.

Below I am attempting to preserve two threads that I posted to Twitter on 31 May 2019 and 28 September 2020. Twitter search is broken and I can’t even find a link to them anymore, but fortunately I do have some screenshots, which I have used to recreate them here. (And only once finished, I found a link to one of them in my bookmarks.)

The first thread (31 May 2019) is largely a set of pull quotes from the fantastic “Magic and the Machine“ by David Abram, which I had read thanks to my friend Anne Galloway, who I tagged as I posted, and which I also recommend reading in full.

“Only as our senses transferred their animating magic to the written word did the other animals fall dumb, the trees and rocks become mute. For, to learn this new magic, we had to break the spontaneous participation of our eyes and ears in the enfolding terrain in order to recouple those senses with the flat surface of the page.”

[…]

“far from enacting a clear break with animism, alphabetic literacy can be recognized as a particularly potent form of animism, one which shifts the locus of magic—or meaning—away from our interactions with the more-than-human surroundings to the relation between ourselves and our own signs.”

[…]

“different technologies tend to capture and channel our instinctive, animistic proclivities in particular ways.”

[…]

“Despite the flimsy gesture toward a kind of magical reality, the fact is that we’re still speaking only to ourselves, to things that we have programmed to talk back to us.”

[…]

“The difficult magic of animistic perception, the utter weirdness and dark wonder that lives in any deeply place-based relation to the earth, is the felt sense of being in contact with wakeful forms of sentience that are richly different from one’s own […]”

[…]

“As we enter more deeply into the world of ubiquitous computing, we increasingly seal ourselves into an exclusively human zone of interaction. We enter into a bizarre kind of intraspecies incest.

“Yet it’s the alterity or otherness of things—the weirdly different awareness of a humpback whale sounding its eerie glissandos through the depths, or an orb-weaver spider spinning the cosmos out of her abdomen; or the complex intelligence of an old-growth forest, dank with mushrooms and bracket fungi, humming with insects and haunted by owls—it’s the wild, more-than-human otherness of these powers that makes any attentive relation with such beings a genuine form of magic, a trancelike negotiation between outrageously divergent worlds. “Without such radical otherness, there’s no magic. Wandering around inside a huge extension of our own nervous system is not likely to bring a renewal of creaturely wonder, or a recovery of ancestral capacities.”

On GPS: “instead of this knowledge arising from our bodily interchange with the earthly cosmos, here the knowledge arrives as a disembodied calculation by a complex of orbiting and ground-based computers.”

On traditional hunting and foraging: “sensory perception functions here as a kind of glue, binding one’s individual nervous system into the larger ecosystem.”

[…]

“Instead of divesting ourselves of the place where we find ourselves, this more ancient form of clairvoyance involves tuning one’s body so thoroughly to the terrain that we ourselves become fully a part of the sensate surroundings.”

[…]

“we remain transfixed by these tools, searching in and through our digital engagements for an encounter they seem to promise yet never really provide: the consummate encounter with otherness, with radical alterity […]”

I concluded that thread with the following, which gets to the phrase I used to title this post:

If you are interested in some more reading on animism, I have a growing collection here. Meanwhile, I’ll soon head out for a walk to re-animate the city and catch up with @derekcz [my friend Derek]. Happy Friday, folks!

(We meet for and adventure – usually a walk, often including a ride on public transit, occasionally involving and event – in San Francisco or surroundings every week. Please reach out if you’d like to join sometime.)

In the second thread (28 September 2020) I eventually referenced the first thread, but it started like this:

Thanks to a request for reading material on crows today, I am re-reading this wonderful 2017 piece (“The Secret Life of Urban Crows”) featuring @corvid research [Kaeli Swift].

“She was eight years old and she had trouble reading. The Spokane elementary school she attended in the mid-1990s wanted to hold her back a grade. Was something wrong with her? Sometimes she wondered. The pediatrician had her on Ritalin. She hated Ritalin. It left her feeling separate, other.

“She was a curious girl, though, and wildlife in the hills around Spokane kept her rapt. She pushed herself to read so she could learn more about them: the Sawtooth wolf pack, which stalked the mountains of nearby Idaho.”

“By the time her family moved to the Seattle suburb of Mercer Island in the early 2000s, Kaeli Swift could read, had kicked Ritalin, and knew science was her jam.”

Nature beats school again. :)

And a completely separate thought:

There are many many reasons why “smart cities” and “digital animism” are sillyscary, but the best one might be that cities have always been smart and animate thanks to the more than human

Re-animate the city.

And that pointed back to the other thread, specifically the tweet with the link to my collection of references on animism. But I want to conclude this post with that last phrase, so I repeat:

Re-animate the city.

How IoT Application Development is Transforming Smart Cities and Homes?

IoT Application Development is becoming a major actor in transforming residential and commercial environments in the current society. The development of IoT technology has made it possible for smart homes and smart cities—where IoT-enabled smart devices cooperate to offer an improved living environment.

This change addresses sustainability, efficiency, safety, and convenience as well as others. Companies like SSTech System are setting the standard for IoT development and are causing a major change in our interaction with our surroundings.

The role of IoT application development in smart cities

The progress of smart cities depends much on IoT application development in Australia. IoT technology’s inclusion into urban infrastructure is enabling cities to grow more environmentally friendly, effective, and resident-responsive. Globally, smart city IoT solutions are being used since they offer real-time data and insights that help managers and municipal planners to make wise decisions.

Smart city traffic management is one of the main areas IoT application development is transforming. IoT-enabled smart devices let cities track traffic, ease congestion, and maximize public transit systems. This lowers carbon emissions, thereby helping to create sustainable smart cities, and enhancing the daily commute for residents.

IoT environmental monitoring is another quite important factor. Among other environmental elements, IoT development has made it possible to install sensors tracking air quality, noise levels, and water quality all around. This information is priceless in guaranteeing that city stays habitable and in enabling fast reactions to environmental hazards.

Management of Energy Another field where IoT application development is changing metropolitan environments is IoT. IoT technology lets cities maximize public building energy use, street lighting, and other infrastructure. In addition to saving money, this greatly helps a city’s total energy impact to be lessened.

Points to Consider:

Integration of Internet of things in urban areas depends on IoT application development.

Smart city traffic management and IoT environmental monitoring are key areas benefiting from IoT development.

Transforming Residential Spaces with IoT

IoT application development is changing homes as well as cities. Smart home technology is now a reality, with IoT development making homes more efficient, secure, and comfortable.

Among the most important developments in home IoT are home automation using IoT. From their smartphones or tablets, homeowners may manage lighting, heating, cooling, and even kitchen appliances by IoT-enabled smart devices. This not only adds convenience but also contributes to energy efficiency with IoT by ensuring that energy is not wasted when it is not needed.

Another area IoT technology that is significantly changing is security. IoT-powered smart home security systems let homeowners remotely operate locks and cameras, monitor their houses in real time, and get alarms about suspicious behavior. This level of security was unimaginable just a few years ago and is now becoming a standard feature in IoT applications for residential spaces.

The AI and IoT integration is improving the features of smart homes even further. IoT application development is letting homes learn from the behavior patterns of its occupants and automatically modify settings by integrating the power of artificial intelligence with IoT technology. This produces a more individualized and responsive living space.

Points to consider:

Home automation with IoT is making homes more convenient and energy-efficient.

Smart home security systems provide real-time monitoring and control for enhanced security.

The integration of AI and IoT is creating smarter, more responsive homes.

Transforming smart cities and smart homes: a unified vision

Beyond personal inventions, IoT application development offers a consistent future vision by transforming smart cities and smart homes. IoT technology guarantees that cities become more sensitive and flexible to the requirements of their citizens as they expand therefore ensure their adaptation.

This change involves creating interconnected infrastructure where IoT-enabled smart devices work together to enhance environmental monitoring, energy management, and public safety. At the same time, it personalizes smart homes for homeowners by providing automation, improved security, and energy efficiency.

Smart homes and smart cities working together produce a whole ecosystem where technology enhances macro and micro-level quality of living. Driven by IoT Application Development, this twofold shift is creating the foundation for a time when urban life and personal spaces will be linked, intelligent, and very efficient.

The future of IoT application development

IoT application development has high future prospects since ongoing technological developments will help to change smart homes and cities. Leading innovators in this transformation, organizations like SSTech system solutions should provide ever more complex solutions as IoT development advances.

One area of interest is the ongoing IoT smart city infrastructure integration. The possibilities for IoT for public safety, intelligent building management, and real-time IoT monitoring will just increase as more cities embrace IoT technologies. Safer, more efficient cities able to instantly meet the demands of their residents will result from this.

IoT app development will probably concentrate in residential environments on improving the features of IoT-enabled smart devices. We can expect more sophisticated and intuitive home automation using IoT systems. As more devices connect, the focus on IoT data privacy and security will become increasingly important.

Future IoT application development will be significantly influenced by SSTech System’s IoT solutions combined with emerging technologies like 5G and edge computing. These advancements will create faster and more reliable IoT networks, essential for the growth of smart homes and cities.

Points to consider:

The future of IoT Application Development will see continued advancements in IoT smart city infrastructure and home automation with IoT.

IoT data privacy and security will become increasingly important as the number of connected devices grows.

Kowloon Walled City was once the most dense place on earth and was essentially a 15 minute city. Within 15 minutes one could shop, work or even go to the dentist in Kowloon. Under the guise of convenience politicians in Canada want to create cities that’ll resemble something more like ghettos where everyone will own nothing and be happy. Where you’ll be trapped!

15 minute cities are NOT about your health or the environment, it’s about control!

Yessss success! Why are these billionaires always trying to create their own cities from the ground up, well it's for multiple reasons.

Firstly it allows them to greenwash which is to appear eco-friendly while their companies pump out pollution and guzzle energy, it makes them look good without trying.

Remember the game bioshock and the city of rapture or historical company towns, if they build it with their resources then they own it which doesn't seem bad but remember what happened in those aforementioned places, think of what abuses would take place in a modern company town owned by profit hungry corporations?

Funnily enough it would be easier to just redevelop preexisting cities but for the 2 reasons above they don't want to, believe me downtown Detroit is a great example as it has preexisting infrastructure and it has areas perfect for creating new developments.

Ultimately it's about ego and control, don't ever think otherwise my peeps, housing is already messed up and no amount of billionaire money will fix it except through wealth redistribution and comprehensive taxation.
