If they can block suicide ideation with such a device, they certainly can stimulate it, and cause mass suicide. Or on the other hand, they could drive users into a deep depression and turn them into suicide bombers.
Seymour Hersh is one of the only true Journalists left that isn't in hiding, constantly moving, prison or bunkered up somewhere.

You're not wrong. I posted a scathing comment on LinkedIn about not giving Reddit so much as a click or view in 2023. A week later Spez announced the throttling of the API requests/paid API access.

I disagree with your assessment. The Guidestones weren't there to help society rebuild after an apocalypse. It was built to scare you into thinking an unavoidable, likely human caused, cataclysm was coming. The builders clearly infused "bad human" into it's message when they say to keep the population under 500 Million. It's all part of the narrative to keep people chasing the cheese at all expenses. This creates ample opportunities for someone else to get rich off your fear. It's similar to the gold rush. Who got rich in the gold rush? The merchants.
Many years ago, I wrote a post on Reddits /r/Collapse using a failing barn as a metaphor to explain collapse. It was a very popular post, especially for a pre-covid collapse/prepper forum post, back before being a prepper was the norm.
I live in Montana, and old barns are everywhere. What's amazing though is how old some of them are. For instance one old hay barn I recently helped demolish, was nearly 100 years old. It was amazing it was still standing....Or was it.
It took us the better part of a day to tear down that old hay barn. It was hard work ripping out planks, pulling nails, dragging 100 year old posts to the dump trailer. But towards the end, as we slowly ripped out the walls and supports, we expected the hay barn to just come crashing down. It didn't though. It resisted gravity with a tenacity that bordered on the divine.
After all the walls but one was gone, we figured a slight breeze would knock it over. When it didn't we tried pushing it over, but it would just slump a little, then bounce back. We tried knocking out the last few posts by throwing an 8 lbs hammer at it. This didn't do anything other than make us feel like Thor.
The last post actually took several hits before it was dislodged. However, there suspended in space and time was that barn! It still didn't fall, it just hung there suspended in place. HOW?!@
As it had collapsed, it started leaning against an old poplar tree ever so slightly, which we didn't notice. Somehow that old tree held up the entire barn all by itself. We eventually just pulled the barn apart piece by piece, as the tree was clearly not going to let it fall.
That moment where the barn seemed suspended in mid air got me thinking a lot about collapse again. Even through years of rot, bad weather, baking sun, cows rubbing against it, etc, it still wouldn't come apart. I remember thinking: "Boy they sure don't build them like the used to. " In fact, that might be the point.
The Collapse of humanity has been happening for a while, but like the Roman empire before it, it might take a really long time for the effects of collapse to affect or impair a majority of us. It may collapse all at once, but the stronger the foundations of the building the longer it will take to erode enough to start falling apart. Even when it does start to fall apart, it will likely lean on something else to keep it supported for a while longer.
I contributed 15+ years of content and moderation to Reddit, which they made private (not available to the public), because I promoted a peaceful protest of the Billionaire's Summer Camp. It's where the billionaires give the media there marching orders, AKA Operation Mockingbird.
Of course they didn't delete it, they just made it not public, so they can continue to use my data to sell to dystopic tech companies to train there A.I. I didn't make a complete backup of my data before I was suspended, and now it's lost to me. I was able to recover a lot using the Way Back Machine, but it's slowly being erased too. The only copy I reliably have is completely offline.
I've been Reddit free for a couple years now, after Reddit deplatformed me for planning a peaceful protest of the yearly Billionaire's Summer Camp in Sun Valley, Idaho. It's where Billionaires give there marching orders to the Operation Mockingbird media.
Quitting Reddit is way harder than any other addiction I've experienced, because it plays on the collectivism that is hardwired into us. It's why they peddle it to kids like the tobacco, alcohol and gambling industries before them. Get them while they are young, and there brains aren't developed enough to build up self-control!
It's not just Reddit though, Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, Instagram, etc, etc, etc all do the same things to varying levels. I highly encourage everyone to watch the Documovie The Social Dilema. The only way to free ourselves of this new form of digital slavery is to educate people on the dangers our such technology.

In 2024, I'll start posting on it on /c/Intelligence in early spring. I had done the same thing on Reddit in 2021. I even created a dedicated Sub, which got nuked from orbit: /r/SunValley2021.
Thank you for your interest. I no longer maintain any of my own websites, and am only slightly active on a few social media after my Reddit deplatforming. I can't say I've put the whole story down in any one place, but here are some of my other social media accounts, that have bits an pieces of the story:
I've been trying to organize a protest of the Billionaires since 2019. The richest and most despicable of them meet each year in Sun Valley Idaho, at the Billionaires SummerCamp the week after 4th of July. They've held it every year for 37 years, except for 2020.
This conference is where the Billionaires issue there marching orders to the Operation Mockingbird media: Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, but also old media like NBC, ABC, New York Times, Fox News, CNN, etc. It is attended by Musk, Theil, Schmidt, Fuckerberg, etc, but is also attended by several former CIA Directors, CIA propaganda staff and military PSYOP intelligence professionals.
Sun Valley is an extremely small town, nestled in the rugged Rocky Mountains, with only 3 main entrances. Protests at one or all of these locations would cause significant disruptions for the event, and would be very hard to ignore.
My 18+ year moderator account on Reddit was attacked, hazed, and eventually suspended for promoting this very protest. I was allowed to be doxxed by Reddit admins repeatedly, including a nasty brigading effort initiated on /r/SubRedditDrama. None of the offenders were sanctioned in any way, and continue to operate on Reddit hazing and harassing other people. At least one person called the FBI and claimed I was a dangerous terrorist, in an attempt to get me swatted.
About 10 days later, I was interviewed by the FBI, and thanked for my time, including a well wishing that my Sun Valley protest would be a success. I've a filed FOIA request on this investigation and other related issues to the FBI, and am awaiting the result.

But what about the guy that makes the keys, wouldn't he be the biggest prey?
