question: who will read this?

answer: who cares.

There is so much junk and garbage out there, that I often times wonder: what is the actual point in writing anything? And hey, fairly soon, if DARPA, Eisenberg—er Zuckerburg, and Tesla get their ways, we will have synthetic telepathy, so anyone (really, anyone?) can access your thoughts at any time, right? I just “think” it and off it goes into cyberspace.

But how much fun will that be? for by then, nobody will have an original thought anyway, it’ll all be hackneyed junk written by laid-off NYT writers hustling on fiver selling “original thoughts” to the dumbed-down, genetically modified, gender-fluid hip generation that is far too busy checking out the feeds to have an original thought.

“Just need a thought for my feed; something smarmy but cool, and slightly political”

Bam. Five bucks gets you:
“If the village had done it’s job properly, we wouldn’t be in this mess” (insert picture of  Trump).

Yeah, that’s the future, so long as the world keeps spinning at astonishing speeds (why don’t we fly off?), the Antarctic Ice Shelf that just busted off don’t melt and flood the “nice” neighborhoods, so long as Al Gore’s prophecies continue to be dead-wrong, so long as the Russians don’t nuke us, so ling as Yellowstone doesn’t blow, so long as the 7 billion suckers don’t start breaking shit….we can look forward to more sleaze of a lecherous media, more inanities of the phobophobes, more hilarious paranoia of the left and the right, and more bullshit teetering on the edge of absurd banality. Plus some alien shit, if we’re lucky, and the Antichrist, if we’re really lucky…
