Chronic Conundrum

Everyone’s Chronic Conundrum is that we are born into a complex web of deceit, and it’s challenging to see the Truth. With the proliferation of AI, this hellscape of “expert-led” control is only going to get worse. It’s my duty as a human to sound the alarm, even if no one is listening. Some would call this martyrdom, I say it’s heroic. To elude the digitized tentacles of the cybernetic Borg, one must possess the courage to walk a different path, an architecture of sovereignty built through discipline, not just dissent. My wife and I recently sold everything to live “on the road” with our son. It’s a modern day pilgrimage with righteous intent. Give me 20 minutes every Friday, and I’ll update you on our journey from my Bathroom Booth of Truth, as we seek sanity in an increasingly insane world.

We're exploring "real" Mexico, where underwear still dries outside the windows of cinder-block homes, and visiting a dream where a carnival is really just an OSHA-defying nightmare of methed-out ride attendants.Whether you’re mired in the suburban slog yourself or you just like the idea of saving money on a clothes dryer, let's come clean.For more Chron Con, including tips on how to seek salvation in an insane world: https://chroncon.com/.
