ABOUT TRANSCENDENCE

Folder: 
THE DRUNKENING

 

 

We keep having

this illusion

about transcendence

and evolution

 

It ain’t happening!

We ain’t becoming

these advanced beings

we is becoming monsters

 

we think

yeah, we think

that we’re making progress

that we’re (sic)

getting there

 

but the joke

is, apparently, on us

cause none of it

is happening—

not anytime soon

Nice work

And well said, I think.

 

Progress is defined by profitability, as far as I can see. At least generally. It's no coincidence that change doesn't come until it benefits business, with almost no exception. As horrible as it is to imagine, if slave labor became more profitable once more in the US, it would come back. There would certainly at least be a serious attempt to propagandize. I mean, in a way, it's never really left. We just moved it to the prisons, where it's still quite profitable. Largest prison pop in the world, by no accident.

Empire Crumbling

.

The rot sets in.

Time to renew,

to purge. An old

fashioned revival

in a compground

tent replete with

choir and tamborines

is what we need.
