In the last post, the point was made that the subconscious chemistry of the human body has much more direct influence on our conscious decision-making than we may think. In fact even turtles and young humans are driven to act in a certain way because of the production of sex hormones. Our tendency toward any form of behavior, e.g., morality, allegiance, competitiveness, artistic sensitivity and even one’s sense of self, all are the product of self conscious evaluation of life experiences derived from memory, physiological chemistry and predetermined genetics.
Which leads mariner to ponder why 
typewriters are making a comeback; why handwritten letters are on the rise and why cryptocurrency seems unusually alien. He used Google search to provide a commentary on cryptocurrency. The search engine produced the following script:
“A cashless society significantly impacts privacy by replacing anonymous cash transactions with traceable digital footprints, allowing corporations and governments to monitor, profile, and even control spending habits, increasing risks of data breaches, identity theft, and potential misuse for targeted advertising or social scoring, while eliminating the privacy afforded by physical cash. Every digital purchase creates a record of what you buy, where, and when, making true financial anonymity virtually impossible and increasing surveillance potential.”
Every invention since iron tools has taken a piece of human individuality away – an individuality manufactured by each person’s subconscious. In other words, the subconscious mind has had a continuous diminution of its job to make humans individuals – it’s evolutionary heritage – by standardizing behavior, belief and self identity. It will not take many generations to invent a bot made of skin, muscle and bone.
It is a lot more bother to use but mariner is considering getting out his old typewriter. It may not only save his individuality but the lives of 640,000 U.S. Postal Service employees as well.
