It has taken us centuries of thought and mockery to shake the medieval system; thought and mockery here and now are required to prevent the mechanists [technocrats] from building another.

Hey World! The Future in 1.08 Minutes?

Did I say “The Future”? I misspoke. Not the real future, just the future envisioned by “power” Utopians and their gods — you know, those dreamers like Chairman Mao and other faux-wokers1 who are obsessed with destroying all the:
▪ old thinking
▪ old knowledge
▪ old culture
▪ old morals
▪ old customs2
So, let us ponder: Could the projected future of the Utopians be portrayed any more graphically than Apple just did? Ironically, 40 years ago Apple celebrated its creativity with a 1:06 minute, iconic “1984 Super Bowl Commercial.”3 However, this 2024 commercial has upped the ante from the 1984  commercial. There, in 1984,  Apple mocked the competition; here it crushes not just the competition, but creativity itself. Not what Apple intended maybe, but truth, as usual, reveals itself in the strangest of ways (with mixed results4).

So here’s a heads-up to the neo-Maoists, Fwokers, and Crushers. The future you dream of ain’t comin’. It might look like you’ve killed the old for a time — like you’ve successfully swept the field clean for a new World Order (WO), but the Universe always, eventually, repays in kind — one sows what one reaps.

So, just another heads-up! It ain't too late, yet, you know, to avoid the reaper — the Crusher!
