I posted Robot Overlords 4 days ago, with a bit of commentary on how Hollywood describes a dark future. Here is another film made in 1995 about transhumanism and the digital age, starting Keanu Reeves.
Johnny Mnemonic

Many good lesson. Funny.

I've seen this maybe 3-4 times but I'm not sure I've ever even watched it carefully until the end. Very much a B-movie and not in the good sense (like some cult classic B-movies) Does it have any lessons? Or any redeeming qualities?
Here's one that I've quite enjoyed. The Last Mimzy
Keywords: people sleeping, social media, mobile phones, a crystal-stone that teaches, children (child like faith?)...

I watched the trailer, but am not expecting to watch the movie. Another message that relates to this topic of idiocy is that sometimes "intelligent" people can be so stupid. Meaningful intelligence is truly "out of this world". 
TWHOFTF 8:40 The Indians tried to teach the white-man, to live in harmony with nature, to ensure their own survival. The arrogant white settlers ignored the Indiansâ advice, calling them IGNORANT savages, and continued to destroy and pollute the country, until the pollution became so bad, that they had to consider it a real threat. It became so bad, that, in the last generation, a new subject emerged in universities; called ECOLOGY; which is about protecting nature and the environment. IN OTHER WORDS, it took the ARROGANT âintelligentâ white-man, HUNDREDS OF YEARS, to find-out, that the âignorantâ savages/Indians were RIGHT, and much MORE intelligent than themselves. The Way Home
I agree. It's quite a sad thing to behold someone who is extremely "intelligent" and at the same time very specialized and even usually extremely stunted in other areas of intelligence; social intelligence, for instance.

I've seen incredible signs lately and then this happened to come up. A reminder to follow "signs" ?
I see drones
Not everything is as it appears to be.

PROTOCOL 7 - A FILM BY ANDREW WAKEFIELD - OFFICIAL TRAILER
Protocol 7, starring Eric Roberts, releases end of May/early June 2024. Protocol 7 is a film based on real-life events, exposing a pharmaceutical corporation's fraudulent test results behind a failing mumps vaccine.
Based on real-life events, comes the corporate thriller, Protocol 7. Alexis Koprowski, a devoted mother and small-town family lawyer, Adrian Jay, a renegade doctor exiled from the medical profession, and Steve Schilling, a virologist at a prominent vaccine laboratory turned corporate whistleblower, work together to hold a large pharmaceutical corporation accountable for allegedly fraudulent test results behind a failing mumps vaccine. Protocol 7 takes us behind the corporate curtain, exposing a chain of command that devolves responsibility, prioritizes profits over people, and fosters an amoral mindset of âjust following orders.â
