“Thirteenth Son of the Swan” … κυρίαρχος όλων των πραγμάτων … “The Shepherd, Who Ascended to Heaven, and Consolidated All the Foreign Countries.” ᛉ

The Matrix didn’t lie. 1999 was the peak of human civilization. It was the perfect point in time when technology was advanced enough to augment and improve human life but not so advanced that it was used to surveil and control. Technology was still in service of the individual. After 2001 and The Patriot Act, everything changed. “I believe that, as a species, human beings define their reality through suffering and misery. The perfect world was a dream that your primitive cerebrum kept trying to wake up from. Which is why the Matrix was redesigned to this (1999): the peak of your civilization. I say your civilization, because as soon as we started thinking for you it really became our civilization, which is of course what this is all about. Evolution, Morpheus, evolution. Like the dinosaur. Look out that window. You've had your time. The future is *our* world, Morpheus. The future is our time.” - Agent Smith (The Matrix) Pay attention to what Smith said. Reread it. As soon as the technology started being in service of technology (agent smith is an AI), and NOT in service of humans, and humans GAVE THEIR POWER AWAY, it became the civilization of the machines, not the humans. TLDR: Hoard physical media. PS5 DRM bad.

I think about this Saul Alinaky quotation a lot these days. Amazing how many people still don’t get it.







We believe the quality of our art is not subjective, it is objective but scales across a multidimensional vector the scope of which is infinitely recursive beauty which we can only intuit in brief moments of rapture.

Neanderthals in Germany went extinct within 3000 years after their population peaked 43,000 Years ago. This was not a gradual decline. This was a mass extinction.
