Ready Or Not Now

Is the world just boppin’ along, or is it in a tailspin? Technology is advancing faster than most of us can keep up with. It’s changing the way we work, communicate, and even think. Artificial intelligence, propaganda, misinformation, digital surveillance, brainwashing, inflation, shifting social structures, germ vs, terrain theory, war, and the prospect of war are not just stories in the news. They are forces that shape our daily lives, whether we realize it or not.

So. If playing hide and seek with reality. With what’s really going on. Now is the time to open the eyes and to say with action, “Ready or not, here I come.”

Some people are curious. Others are apprehensive or oblivious. Some just feel like something is coming and are unsure of what it is. Others sense a spiritual need in these changes, or that it’s mankind’s destiny, while some see it all as how human beings can just fuck things up.

One thing is for sure: ignoring what’s happening won’t make it go away wherever you stand. Being unaware in times like these is a risky game. Ready or Not NOW (RONN) blogs to provide clarity, understanding, and a practical approach to staying prepared in a world that won’t wait for you to catch on or catch up. And for those of you looming beneath those threatening clouds of chaos looking for sunshine, we will bring as much light as we can muster.

This blog is about something different. Practical awareness. Understanding what’s going on, what’s coming, and, most importantly, what you can do to stay ahead, stay free and thrive. Reason and the truth be told will apply in this blog. And where there is reason, there is hope. Where there is truth, there is clarity; where there is awareness, hope can be defined.

Now is the time for awareness, not fear. There’s a fine line between being informed and being overwhelmed. Some people shut down when they hear about AI taking jobs, governments tracking their every move, or propaganda steering public opinion. Others dive headfirst into doomsday thinking, losing sight of the steps they can take to protect themselves.

War is to be protested. AI isn’t a monster to run from. Economic and social shifts may be disasters waiting to happen. Our Health Care can be rescued from Disease Care system. All are certainly changes that require wisdom and action. Those who aren’t paying attention could be swept along by the tide, even manipulated by those who see the bigger picture.

For others, there’s no mystical element to any of this. It’s about reality. The way society is progressing. The way technology is being used. The way governments and corporations use or abuse data and move the economy. That is what will define the next decade. No higher forces are involved; they are just the result of humans’ decisions and the advancement of technologies.

Both perspectives belong here. Suppose you see all these changes as part of a spiritual journey. In that case, you’ll find talk about staying aware, spotting what’s real and what’s not, and making sure you stay in control of your thoughts, choices, and who you are in a world threatened by tyrants and run more and more by computers and AI. Suppose you see it in a more practical way. In that case, you’ll find helpful tips on keeping your personal info safe, making wise choices, and better handling all these fast changes.

Either way, the message is the same. You can benefit from both. Awareness is power. If you’re not paying attention, someone else could decide for you. Ready or not, the future is here. The only question is…are you ready?

The world isn’t slowing down. Every day brings new technology, new policies, and new distractions. An agenda-owned media is its star representative. I love what Denzel Washington said, “If you don’t read the newspaper, you’re uninformed. If you do read it, you’re misinformed”.

It’s easy to get caught up in the noise, chasing headlines, trends, and the Roman moments of entertainment. At the same time, the real game is being played behind the curtain. Ready or Not NOW is here to raise the curtain where possible, clear the stage, and focus on what actually matters.

The goal here isn’t fear-mongering. it’s clarity. People don’t need more panic; they need straight talk, valuable insights, and tools to live confidently in this uncertain time.

A chaotic mixture changes how we think, live, and work. Understanding this shouldn’t require a PhD or blind trust in so-called experts. It should be practical, consumable, and, most importantly, valid. Whether managing AI in daily life, protecting privacy, staying ahead in the job market, or surviving catastrophe, the focus here is on being ready, not distracted.

The bigger picture is not to be ignored. Technology, the government, the news, and big companies aren’t just changing things. They’re changing our world. How we receive information, handle money, and face hidden decisions directly impacts our freedom, choices, and future. Paying attention doesn’t mean being scared. It just means ensuring you control your life, not some undesirable force.

If fear keeps people frozen in place, then knowledge is the thaw. Empowerment instead of panic. The more we understand, the less we have to fear. The less we rely on officialdom to tell us what’s happening, the more control we have over our own reality.

George Carlin saw it coming years ago. He said, “It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it”. That wasn’t a punchline. It was the truth. The systems that are running the world exist not to benefit everyday people. But to keep power in the hands of a select few while distracting, dividing, and exhausting everyone else. Carlin didn’t believe in fighting the system. He believed in seeing through it.

He had no patience for blind conformity. The media, the government, and corporations are all in cahoots and keep people compliant. His response? Think for yourself. Question everything. Stop letting official narratives shape your understanding of the world. The more you think, the less control they have over you.

The solution isn’t to fix the system; it’s to step outside of it. Stop expecting politicians to save you. We have a two-party system. It might be well to note that it is both parties that put us or allowed us to be where we are today. So what if we stopped feeding something that only wants to bite us? Now is a perfect time to stop letting fear-mongering media convince you otherwise. Skepticism and freedom have the same number of letters. Well, maybe not.

Carlin projected freedom. He laughed at the absurdity of it all, and he was right to. The world is ridiculous in many ways, and taking it too seriously is a trap. Once you see the game, you don’t have to play it. You can stand outside the madness and live on your own terms. He wasn’t talking about isolation. He was talking about freedom.

Freedom starts in the mind. It’s not just about beating the system; it’s about not letting it own you. Financial independence, re-education, and staying out of a political tribe aren’t just survival strategies; they’re ways to keep your personal sovereignty intact.

Carlin wasn’t in the business of giving hope, but he did give people something that resonated more: awareness. If you can see what’s happening, you don’t have to be controlled by it.

So, how do we thrive? Think critically. Be self-reliant. Laugh at the absurdity. Live on your own terms. The ruling world’s design is to keep us distracted. The powerful people want us to chase the bogus while they make the actual moves. But you don’t have to play their game.

Not everyone sees it. Some people are blind to what’s happening. That’s part of the problem. But that’s also part of the mission. If you see it, you have a choice: you can walk away or help others wake up, too. Recover, come together, and serve those who can’t yet see.

Ready or not, the future is here. Live it happy, joyous, and free. To stay free is to Stay Aware, Alert, Survive, and Strive. — RONN
