A Perfectly Scripted Future

Two lights flickered in the distant pixel of the screen.  Twitching their repetitions in a solaced fashion dictated by the bits and bytes of their holographic'd database.  The files upon files being progressed in algothrithmic fashion, storing names and their tendencies through their if statements and the digital SQL Proportional preferences -- everything is known about us from the day we are born -- the social software in full effect. Our future, perfectly scripted.

The following thoughts are fictitious -- made up -- just a random blip in the radar -- however they do represent a fear I hope my children will not experience.

Suppressing the System
In the future when I wake up, I'll roll over and and get ready to work.  I'll sanitize the parts that need sanitized, and a I'll get dressed.  I'll sip as I drive -- and I'll listen to the morning news.   Ho-hum will I go, as the willing whistling worker.

I'll do this, because we'll live in a world where we want to better our lives.  We won't need to salvage and harvest - and we'll want a nest.

The nest we'll live in will be our roost.  It will have walls, windows and ways to keep those freezing temperatures from shaking our bones - and it will also makes our worst offense - feces - just go away magically...

We'll want our roosts to be the biggests and brightest - and we'll create our own market for it -- to such a point that people will get rich for ages over it... wealth will be a real thing of the world...  And not only that, when wealth doesn't make money, we'll keep it propped to protect our future -- and we'll protect it so much, that we'd give our own health and welfare -- and our common right to learn.

We'll make wealth the suppressing system... everybody will want it -- some may reach it -- but by that point, they'll be so in tune with our programming -- that they'll swim with the rest of us for it --- wealth will be synonymous with freedom for us...

But the future may always be dark...

Harlem Globe-trottered
In the future - entertainment will be globalized.  Our airplanes will spin, our blu-rays will fly -- the future will be glittered with more glitz and glamour than our globe-trotting, ghetto-fabulous, gluten-freed lives could handle... Updates will be instant, while global ideals will be spread faster than we can keep up with...


Taking a deep breath
If I could pause  for a moment -- and explain a concern that I'm not sure why we haven't acted on yet...

Our globe is warming.

Aside from the argument of who did what -- we know there are serious ramifications if the Earth does warm. And it does.   It warms and cools faster now than it did before -- mainly because our averages are warming -- while our thermostat is cycling and starting to cook our coats...  and we have really thin coats.

So if there is a problem -- no matter who did what -- and we know that by increasing the concentration of CO2 only compounds the problem of heating a container -- loose lid or no loose lid -- then why aren't we acting to fix the problem...

We have a problem here - we either aren't listening, aren't paying attention, are busy talking about who did what, or else aren't being told...


An economic trifecta - consumption, real estate, wars
Our future will be acronymically aligned - with our growth and our goods of domesticated products leading the path to green and golden shores.   With the creation of wealth, laws will follow the wealth and be made by those who control our best interests.  We'll follow the equations, encourage the method and sacrifice our peanuts when we'll need to - all for the maintenance of the steady growth - we're growing the planet after all.

The first step in our three step plan - is we buy ourselves a new everything!!! Imagine a future full of bright shiny  things that flash and flip and film and flop and fly and flood and fish and fry and fool the eye!   Consumption will fill the every void that needs to fulfill the balance.

The second step in our three step hop - is we buy everything back off ourselves!!! Imagine a future where buying a home is as easy as 1, 2, 3!  ... or 1 - starter ...2 - step up .. and 3 - go!

The third step in our three step tango - is we war.  And we war and we war...  We war to eat... we war to protect and we war to hunt... In our ways with war we'll keep up our growing... to protect our children's future.

Dots should connect to five points - Social Tendencies
It took approximately no effort to save this script to a database without any delay.  I don't have a choice once the words roll off these fingers.   With every stop I make with the keyboard on my table -- the Draft saves at every consistent pause.  And I pause in thought often...  It takes seconds, scratch that -- milliseconds -- for a piece of data to be stored in the intra-wide-web...  The scripts are right there.

Every moment of every seconds -- oddles -- scratch that -- quadrilli-oodles of data are filed in a sequence of 1's and 0's left in a stash of servers from every click to that new shopping website...  As your friend updates and status changes in very counting moment in every tablet and pads -- so do the oodles.  And oodles and oodles do they ogle and ogle.  The data serves to count your tendencies for purchasing - your tendencies for eating -- and your tendencies of beliefs.   You can't help feel that you are being watched -- watched and watched to make the tendencies that much easier to predict... to ensure your tendencies are to follow...



How the pyramid of 1981 became 2012
The future told above is fucked.  It's shallow, conceited and vain.  It flaunts its sorry ass in front of us while we're told to shop and shut the fuck up.  But in reality - - the future told above is locked and loaded...

But where will it end?  That's for the future to decide... But philosophically -- I hope an outlaw or two will come to save the day...


How a 2050 came to 2112
A pleasant faced man steps up to greet you, he smiles, and says he's pleased to meet you. Beneath his hat the strangeness lies, take it off, he's got three eyes.  Truth is false and logic lost, now the fourth dimension is crossed... You have entered the Twilight Zone beyond this world strange things are known.. Use the key, unlock the door, see what your fate might have in store...

Come explore your dreams' creation, enter this world of imagination...

You wake up lost in an empty town, wondering why no one else is around.  Look up to see a giant boy, you've just become his brand new toy.   



No escape, no place to hide, here where time and space collide. Enter this world of imagination...
