what is real after death? after love? after life?
a real-time hyperfiction experiment

We wouldn’t know it if we were on the brink of a global disaster. Say a nuclear launch. Who’s controlling our American weaponry? A madman with a court full of jesters and posers. All people in power have been compromised and risk prison if they give up the cheetoe king.
He’s starting a war to hide his transgressions. He’s fucking with all of humanity to serve his means. Not unlike the Tiny Prince, the richest man on the planet, and he’s hell-bent on burning his enemies to the ground along with the rest of us. He is capable of buying elections. He’s under investigation in seven countries that we know of. He’s a bad human.
What’s the use of fighting back? The protests? The AI backlash?
The human race, perhaps. Say I’m being melodramatic at your own peril. There is nothing now to stop the richest fuckers on the planet from building survival bunkers to house small cities of people. I hate to tell you, Elon, if the sun goes, Mars is not going to be far enough for you and yours to survive.
If the endgame is annihilation of your enemies along with yourself, it would usually be done as a retaliatory response. We are planning new nuclear plants to power the AI race to burn us alive. The ocean doesn’t have enough water to cool the quantum chips of the future. The power grid cannot sustain the current growth rate. What if the growth rate triples? We’re headed for a global meltdown without nuclear power. Heck, why don’t we just throw that into the mix?
They are not playing a game. They are focused on power and control. Control of the entire planet!!
And a handful of billionaires have the controls. Why would Jeff Bezos care about any of us? He’s busy building his rocketship and racing Elon to escape the same planet they are destroying.
Escape from New York was a great picture. We need a reboot. Escape from The Data Center Meltdown. I have on good authority that the Malibu Canyon Meltdown event that happens in 2027 criples most of our defense mechanisms. In the moment of crisis, authorities covered their tracks, erased evidence of their culpability. Nuclear power is not the way forward.
In Texas, like the national government, we’re fighting wind and solar power. Even as they currently provide about 15% of the load.
What are we fighting? Greed. Evil aspects of evil animals. No one believed the candidate when he said he’d be a dictator on day one. He’s still a wannabe dictator on day 412. The swirling vultures around him, now fearing for their lives, their freedom.
He’s dismantling all that is good about government. Taking the Team America idea from the SouthPark guys was a joke. It is no joke. We are the global police. Our current leader has taken our benevolence off the table. He’s fighting the Peace Accords and forming a fake agency, The Board of Peace, charging nations billions to join the protection of the US. NOPE.
Now, the world is responding. They are going around the US. Forming deals with states. California’s governor, the seventh-largest economy on the globe, attended the peace talks that our president defied and declined.
Where are we to go from here as humans?
Can art, artists, and creators have an impact on the current trajectory? How can we influence the conversations? Can adding a meme or an online petition have any real influence? I have one, voteblueordie.org. But I’m an online activist and writer. I vote my conscience. I vote for the planet. For you and me and our children, regardless of their sexual orientation or ability to pay for services.
All the world is a stage, but there are too many performers and not enough paying customers. AI is starving for cash from revenue, while sinking billions into data centers, chips, power, cooling, and water. In Texas, we are at risk of running out of water. Like, completely out. The Rio Grande River does not reach the ocean; it runs out of water. Goes dry.
We are beginning to see what’s going to happen. The data center meltdown in a few years will solidify the AI-YES-NO WAR. That’s a different thread. See: hypersoul – my sci-fi world, where these events are extended into their good vs. evil conclusion.
It’s sci-fi now. Hell, AI just a few years ago was limited in impact to scientists and the auto-correction, auto-suggestion on your phone. Today, AI is in the way most of the time. Huge companies with investments in AI-YES are pulling back. OpenAI, the poster child of growth and power, is failing. Asking for a government subsidy to prevent defaulting on huge loans and commitments.
The top AI company has also entered into the agreement with our government that Anthropic, the king of AI Coding, refused. They didn’t want their tech and training to be used for weapons of mass destruction. Attack drones have been a thing. Today, the drone, or inexpensive explosive flying device, is overwhelming the wealthy countries’ ability to fire countermeasures. We’re almost out of weapons to fight back. The inexpensive guerrilla drone attacks will continue.
Hopefully, the NoKings rallies will continue as well. And this year’s midterms are a blue fucking wave. We need the red team out of power and prosecuted for self-dealing and fraud.
