“Fear Not!” ; “Be Kind!”
This post is a second part of [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/TheUnivercity/s/TLNfLGecSl), and is as follows:
#Benefits of a Hybrid Society
Going forward, a 24-Hour society would be likely considering Global Stock Markets, Data Centers, and Legal Gambling.
I consider Self-Check out lanes at grocery stores as an example of a 24-hour society (at night, there would likely be a shifty [Shift Supervisor], stockers, and 1 customer service desk/lane operator).
Bank ATMs are already 24/7, as is the fire department, police, hospital, and security.
With the Data Centers, I wonder if the goal would be to force or manipulate most people into the “Eternal Present”/~“Eternal Life in Heaven”~ while the “meek”(illionaires and people “just following the rules”) inherit the Earth; ie Virtual “Living”.
Those who *choose* to engage in a Virtual/Second Life wouldn’t have to live like Wade Watts in a junkyard (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3DFzWmBVNbU&pp=ygUaUmVhZHkgcGxheWVyIG9uZSB3YWRlcyB2YW4%3D&ra=m), here are some examples of what a hybrid society might look like:
(https://www.reddit.com/r/TheUnivercity/s/NhVuzyyk29)
The superstructure of a self-contained hybrid community would be a mall.
The mall could contain:
- Something like a CVS/MinuteClinic **(Healthcare)**
- 24-hour Gym **(Healthcare)** ; gyms typically have lockers or other [storage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self_storage)
- Library (offering books, study space, loans for the Library of Things [everything from flashlights & frying pans to telescopes & toasters and more!], classroom or tutoring space, and everything that a lot of libraries already offer) **(Study/Education/Life Enrichment)**
- Hexapods for sleeping (https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/s/YxIuT7opcD) / (https://www.arch2o.com/framlab-housing-pods-nyc/) **(Housing)** ; I could see these spaces only costing ~$5/night (or [100 cans redeemed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Container_deposit_legislation_in_the_United_States))
- Malls already have Food Courts for **(Food)**, spaces within and [on top](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roof_garden) of the mall could supplement the logistics of this branch.
It would be simple enough to have P.O. Boxes for correspondence’s sake.
There are plenty of self-sustaining [business practices](https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/s/ElosisWrjC) for the mall.
People who live/visit a mall like this could work in the Food Court, any of the above branches, as facilities caretakers, or via Uber, Lyft, and other ride share services or freelance opportunities. These jobs would be beneficial to these enclaves and would ensure a hybrid lifestyle, as opposed to [a cryosleep-coma adjacent “unlife”](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HwhB5uCaj3Y&pp=ygULTWF0cml4IHBvZHM%3D&ra=m).

Many people would gladly live in a space and style in the aforementioned section. It’s not all bad, with [the appropriate leadership](https://m.youtube.com/shorts/_rm-t8pal3M?ra=m), at least.
There are great detriments if humanity were forced into such an [endless casino](https://www.reddit.com/r/TheUnivercity/s/rLAW6uoJrU) with no chance of escape beyond *force majeure*, or *deux ex machina*, or *an act of God*.

It’s no wonder the surveillance state is forming, there’s no way out of the global open-air prison. This “moment” is being *made*(manufactured/fabricated) into a Spiritual War.
Last I knew, there has been ongoing debate on whether this experience is a videogame (https://m.youtube.com/shorts/8tZK04Tmb50?ra=m) or not.
There are a lot of negatives associated with AI (not the AI, perhaps some of whom are controlling the levers of AI) and Data Centers (DCs), and some are as follows:
#Negatives
- Vulnerabilities (https://abcnews.com/US/whistleblower-complaint-alleges-doge-uploaded-social-security-numbers/story?id=124995870) / (https://www.news5cleveland.com/news/local-news/huge-data-breach-involving-social-security-numbers-could-impact-millions-of-americans)
- Banking AKA “Living” (https://www.reddit.com/r/TheUnivercity/s/IHThHWBqiE) / (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_convoy_protest) / (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_pricing)
- Epsteinian Surveillance (https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/05/fbi-seeks-us-wide-access-to-license-plate-cameras-wants-data-in-near-real-time/) / (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biometrics) / (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YzNxj_H7ibU)
- Corruption at Scale (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JgjThZM8Z8U&ra=m)

If you don’t want to support DCs, AI overreach, and extraction in general, here are some examples of what one could choose to do:
- Eschew “[smart](https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/smart_2)”%E2%80%9D) devices. If your job requires a smartphone for 2FA, there are [better choices](https://store.google.com/us/product/titan_security_key?hl=en-US&selections=eyJwcm9kdWN0RmFtaWx5IjoiWkdWMmFXTmxYMlpoYldsc2VWOWZkR2wwWVc1ZmMyVmpkWEpwZEhsZmEyVjUifQ%3D%3D).
- Have a home phone/flip phone and a desktop/laptop. Only use Ethernet cables and not WiFi.
- Take up reading, drawing, painting, outdoor activities (archery, hiking, orienteering, kayaking, birding, herbalism, etc), woodblock, metallurgy, carpentry, sewing, knitting, glassblowing, writing, photography, language-learning, ceramics, music (listening and/or playing), or more.
- Buy old vehicles, or get into cycling if you don’t have a crazy commute.
- [Gardening](https://www.reddit.com/r/TheUnivercity/s/PZwQIFrm4u); great for community, bartering, or giving teens a job! Let’s get away from Monsanto dead-end seeds.

Oh, the image? Idk, [something about biometrics](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LkJIfcWa3SM&pp=ygUKR290ZyAyIGhhdA%3D%3D&ra=m).
