content: My blackpill take is that all these "smart" technologies will eventually reach convergence and be interconnected. Smart phones, meters, cars, appliances, etc. The only thing that will be able to sort and categorize the vast amounts of data being generated nonstop will be AI. It will be the "inescapable tyranny" that communism almost achieved, with a technological twist. Save your old appliances, learn to repair them. Refuse "smart" anything as much as possible. Corbett covers this brilliantly here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXbvL0uZkrY Then there's the health angle. Current safety standards are set according to thermal effects; if an EMF-emitting device produces no thermal effects it's considered "safe." But some argue that sub-thermal EMF produces negative health effects in humans and this has been known since the 1970s. The theory is that these effects are produced by the activation of voltage-gated calcium channels. Here's a link to an academic paper about this - https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0013935118300355 I'm on the fence, but I live by the precautionary principle and avoid excessive EMF exposure.
