it seems like we're on the onramp to a very drastic change very very soon. political instability, unwinnable wars, market chaos, gigacorps, tech that has complete moral ambiguity. a massive underclass developing, the opoid "crisis", the collapse of meaningful cultural distinction, and a veneer of utopia (a shoddy paint job).
i think we're going to unironically end up in some cyberpunk world. i heard a podcast the other day say "a world covered in datacentres" without the slightest sense of irony, cynicism, doubt, or really anything negative. i don't find trouble in that personally but it is beginning to feel like we're walking right into the hyperstition people often say they fear.
i think it is inevitable at this moment: the powers that be have decided this is where we're going. i don't think we get a say, so i choose to learn to live in it instead of being cannon fodder for a lost cause.

Already there.

Then you're really, really dumb.
The purpose of those is mass surveillance and suppression.
>the powers that be
Genocidal pedophiles. Deeply stupid human beings with names and addresses.
You'll die some day regardless of what you do. Death, eventually, is inevitable. No one who fights fights because winning is the only possible outcome or because it is easy. If you are unwilling to overcome a childish fear of the inevitable in order to fight something intolerably horrible, you are either a tremendous coward or you don't understand how bad it already is.

I literally don't understand why you would go to work to enrich some stranger you have no relationship with.
You should be working to enrich yourself and the people you love.
The current predicament shouldn't be tolerated, yet it is, and it's so absurdly stupid that I am really close to being angry at the average working person.
It really is that simple.
