| Russian Patriarch Says Smart Phones Are Herald of Antichrist |
| 2019-01-10 |
In an interview aired Monday on Russian state television, Patriarch Kirill said that the church does not oppose technological advances but warned against “falling into slavery” to smartphones. The patriarch expressed concern that with the proliferation of cell phones “someone can know exactly where you are, know exactly what you are interested in, know exactly what you are afraid of” and that this knowledge of “location, interests, and fears” could be employed for centralized world domination. |

| #4 Note to self: Strive to become anonymous, invisible and leave no trace. This is difficult to do in a modern, industrialized, connected and controlled society. Hey, Whitey Bolger did it for 18 years. |

| #3 “someone can know exactly where you are, know exactly what you are interested in, know exactly what you are afraid of” Don't know about Orthodox priests but Catholic priests have known this for 2000 years. Teutonic Snark O'The Day. |

| #2 I have been hit twice by cellie distracted motorists. Bingo. Like guns, the blame is placed on the device instead of on the (mis)user. Muddled thinking... |
