A Scary Question
Dangerous Reader:
How is the world gonna end? Seriously? How do you see it happening?
Nuclear blast?
Death pandemic?
Alien invasion?
Cataclysmic inundation?
Sawed-off conspiracy theory?
Asteroid hit?
Collapsing democracy?
Global economic crackup?
AI annihilating us off the landscape?
Epstein?
SO.
We lurve being alive, right? We love our luck. And if the world is coming to an end, we’d make our secret, fondest wishes come true, correct?
What are we waiting for? Let’s do it NOW!
I am Empress. I give you permission to do anything.
What is it you want to do?
Camus said we need clarity in troubled times….ahem.
I want our daughters and granddaughters to have equal rights. I want billionaires to become extinct. I want Medicare for All. I want a beautiful English greenhouse, I want to write amazing things, and I want someone else to fix dinner tonight.
I doubt the world will end, although humanity might, which is probably the thing Mother Nature would ask for.
Our "world" may end with evolution deciding this attempt at creating biological intelligence that could foresee the results of its actions and change its plans accordingly is the failure we obviously are. The result will be our extinction, and since we're such a craptological creation, we'll take the rest of those around us down with us, maybe. But in 50 years there will be no sign of our ever having been present, and evolution will try again with something perhaps more fit to survive and evolve in the conditions then existing. The Earth will go on, as it has through the many other evolutionary failures.
