Interesting story.

I worked with a lady who insisted that the government bugged street lamps with microphones powerful enough to record words said in nearby buildings and the COVID jab was to monitor your body and execute commands when needed.

Silly until you learn she’s a mom, wife, and voter.

The paranoid know a little something about what's going on though. It doesn't take being paranoid to deem smartphones as an always-on wiretap that knows everything about you, including your heart rate.

That's like me wearing my SmartWatch and then proclaiming "IT KNOWS MY HEART RATE AND IT'S TRANSMITTING IT"

Like, no shit, that's what I want it to do.

My opinion is that the only reason of why governments don't do these is that there is no way to transmit signals from those points. I'm pretty sure that some street lamps do exactly this.

I firmly believe more intelligent people need to be exposed to real mental illness such as this. To give perspective. But the important thing to do with that perspective is not to validate these delusions that people have. You can seriously damage and hurt someone who has a delusional disorder if you validate. I mean yeah, if you aren't ever going to encounter them again and you might be in a dangerous situation then lie convincingly so you can get out of said situation... But if it's a person you encounter often or a loved one then please get them help and get them to come back to reality. They don't need some smart nerd waxing philosophical about society and what tech companies are doing... They need actual help and even if you think reality is some fungible thing they don't need to hear that.
