It is all very worrying, but I can't dwell on it too much because other than refuse to partake of the digital ayahuasca and live in reality to the extent I can, what can I do? I think the future we're heading towards is that of Zero HP Lovecraft and not...

You know, I can't think of any "futuristic utopias." I probably could when I was younger and still on the digital rez but they all look utterly dystopian to me now.

No crystal spires and togas for us. I fear this will be our race's eventual destination. I'm sure the technocrats can't wait.

Well, Utopia is a fantasy concept parodying our ever-present childlike desire for a paradise on earth despite mankind's inability to create such a thing. Adults recognize that it's inherently impossible. Seeing the downsides now means you are cognitively an adult. Congratulations.

Many adults with the mentality of children running around, then!
