Those who struggle to change the world see themselves as noble, even tragic figures. Yet most of those who work for world betterment are not rebels against the scheme of things. They seek consolation for a truth they are too weak to bear. At bottom, their faith that the world can be transformed by human will is a denial of their own mortality.

That does seem to be the way real-life eschatology is going. The Apocalypse will be AWFL or, at least, Afluent White Liberal Women will be the new, additional Horseman of it. Of course, I’ve long said that War, Famine, Pestilence, and Death are not the riders we’ll be set upon by.

No matter which AI-driven near future dystopia floats your boat, remember that it will really be started by Man’s hubris and willful ignorance. If and when it happens, we shall have birthed our own demise through just being us.
Perhaps, however, this is a foregone conclusion. Certainly, any of the Abrahamics should consider that possibility and take such actions as seem proper to postpone and/or mitigate the likely outcome. It seems to me, if one accepts Yahweh as the Creator, to be far more probable that “made in His image” meant our selves, not our flesh, was made so, including the desire to Create. And, of course, we forget that we are flawed and our creations made in our image will be even more so.
It is and I think shall be a worthy test of the pithy truism, “Knowledge is knowing that Frankenstein is not the monster. Wisdom is knowing that Frankenstein is the monster.”

At first, second, or even third glance, Biden’s eagerness to engage in what seems all to likely to end up as nuclear war between Russia and the US makes little to no sense. But, I think we should all look a bit deeper into the muddled and rotting psyche of the deranged octogenarian the Dems “worked” so hard to install as POTUS.
Creepy Uncle Joe is a gamer of sorts, and he’s old enough to have played and possibly been good at Atari’s Missile Command. Thus, given the damaged and erratic state of his brain, he might think that nuclear war would play out this way. Oh Hell! Biden’s so lost in the morass of his senility – and he was never that bright in the first place – he might even believe in President Reagan’s stunning and stunningly effect lie, the “Star Wars Program” and conflate it with Missile Command.
Sadly, this isn’t just sarcastically funny. It’s also disturbing plausible. Still though, that’s better than the alternative, that Biden is a dementia-ridden old man close to Judgement and Sentencing who doesn’t want the world to outlive him.

ROFLMAO Yep! Now, admittedly, I’m old – older than 85% of the world’s population, so my upbringing was decided different than the younger crowd’s is. I was raised to expect the Apocalypse and trained to lived and thrive past it… in the highly unlikely event that I survived its beginning. 😉
And, Oh yeah; I always figured I be something akin to some cross between Mad Max and a 19th Century American pioneer. But no! Instead, I am The Dude. 😆 Well, except that the grocery store shelf are a lot more empty thanks to Brandon and Co..
