Successfully navigating the course of our lives requires a foundation on which to build our hopes and dreams. That begins with a relationship with the author of our creation, God.

Transit Sidereal Venus in Pisces & Aries

Venus is transiting into Aries on May 31st in the sidereal system. Here’s predictions for this past month and for this upcoming Venus transit! Enjoy babes :D

Note: this is for SIDEREAL rising signs. If you have your tropical ascendant/first house in 24° or below, I recommend checking for the sign before it.

I have a feeling you might relate to this or you might have even related this on your blog already, but I was just thinking of that Ghoul quotation water water everywhere and not a drop to drink

I think probably my favourite, maybe ever, quiet point of characterisation in a sort of villainous or Beast love interest is his or her having a poet's soul... whether that is conscious or unconscious romantic meditation. It's like Kylo musing to Rey when he says 'You have that look in your eyes. From the forest. When you called me a monster' I love that sort of wistful observation, especially because it evokes such potent imagery ('when we fought together in the forest and then you marked yourself on my face'). Or more literally something like Ghoul citing a line of literature, even when none around except for Lucy would know what he's referencing, it's for his own arrestment and amusement, this is how he sees/interacts with the world

I guess in that way, it reveals something new about their perspective on the world, even when they're somebody seemingly cut off from it - monstrous, othered, repellent, ugly - when they're able to articulate a certain beauty which other characters may not remark upon. It's sort of covetous in that sense, but I think it also sort of helps explain what might interest them about a Beauty, after all, there's something they long for and value (spiritual, aesthetic, existential beauty).

I thought you might be able to relate 🥰

Oh, totally. And with Cooper and Ben, specifically, which is a parallel I hadn't actually noticed until you've just pointed it out, we're being shown their sensitivity as characters. Not in the sense of being considerate, but that they're aware and alert to beauty and meaning in the world despite currently occupying a narrative role which might make us think they're simply destructive or nihilistic figures. And despite the cynicism they're both ostensibly espousing.

Cooper quotes or alludes to literature practically constantly relative to how little he speaks, forever knowing people almost certainly won't understand him, and that's especially fascinating because he didn't make those kinds of references in the flashbacks. We could take this in a whole direction about how he created the Ghoul as a character to shield himself from the things he had to do to survive and is living within a meta-narrative deconstructing the reactionary anti-hero who overtook the white hat sheriff he used to play in his movies. The anti-hero he never wanted to be. He makes allusions because his life has become a story he's telling himself to stay sane. He's his own wry Dickensian narrator making asides to an imagined audience about dramatic irony and social commentary.

And an important part of his presentation to others before the war was painting himself as not sophisticated. Just a cowboy and then just a guy who plays a cowboy in the movies. He wants nothing to do with politics either in an interpersonal or broader sense, and disclaims any pretensions to being savvy despite being in a theoretically powerful position as a rich, well-connected film star. I do think he was genuinely naive, but I also think he often played dumb to avoid social conflict. He was complacent and the image he cultivated helped him remain complacent. Obviously he was very willing to be confrontational when he saw wrong or injustice right in front of him (he goes after Bud Askins directly to his face about marines getting killed by shitty equipment, he challenges Moldaver when she calls him out), but pre-bombs he mostly uses his empathic perceptiveness and charisma to keep everyone around him happy.

In the wasteland we often see him doing the opposite and deliberately riling people up in order to gather information and assess or eliminate them as threats, but he's also only gotten better at disarming people when he wants to. As a handsome charming film star he pretended not to know anything, as a scary intimidating monster he pretends he knows everything.

What I'm wondering about here is whether Cooper always had a secret nerdy side and read all the classics as a teenager or perhaps while waiting on sets when he was working as a stuntman, or whether he wanted to fit in when he started to make it in Hollywood and so tried to become cultured before realising that wasn't what anyone wanted from him. Or if he just spent 200 years alone and read anything he could find as a way to cling to his humanity. We know he was at least a bit intellectually curious before the war, because of his reading and retaining some article about studies on torture.

But YES, him quoting poetry and being so interested and insightful about Lucy, specifically is a huge part of how he's framed as a romantic figure. And he's already by far the most romantic figure in the show. If it were solely about his tragedy, you'd think they would emphasise the contrast between his pre-fallen and post-fallen state by stripping him of his heroic trappings, but they don't. He's actually more romantic post-'curse'.

It also gets me because he's an extremely smart, socially adept person who doesn't let others see him for who he really is both consciously and unconsciously on multiple levels and that layers of identity shit is my crack. He was a profoundly honest man who thought he was simple, but actually he was a glorious maze of contradiction and complexity waiting to happen who has now come into his own as a master manipulator.

Morpheus' famous lines in The Matrix about the blue pill and the red pill are emblematic of a much deeper and more profound choice that each individual faces in life—the choice between comfortable ignorance and the often unsettling truth. When Morpheus offers Neo the choice between the blue pill and the red pill, he is not just offering two simple objects but two radically different paths of existence.

Morpheus' Words on the Blue Pill

Morpheus says to Neo:

"You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes."

This moment is pivotal because it encapsulates the essence of the human condition: the choice between remaining within the confines of an illusory world, one that is comfortable, familiar, and seemingly safe, or daring to venture into the unknown, where truth, no matter how harsh or challenging, awaits.

The Profound Significance of the Blue Pill

The blue pill symbolizes a choice to remain within the matrix of illusions—a construct of lies, half-truths, and deceptions that create a false sense of security. Those who choose the blue pill willingly accept the reality presented to them, preferring the comfort of ignorance over the potential discomfort of truth. The blue pill represents:

Comfort Over Truth: The blue pill offers a life free from the pain of questioning, of challenging the status quo. It allows one to continue living in a bubble, where difficult truths are avoided, and uncomfortable realities are dismissed. It is the easier path, one where cognitive dissonance is minimized, and the individual can remain in a state of blissful unawareness.

Submission to the Illusion: Taking the blue pill is a form of surrender. It is an acceptance of the narratives imposed by external forces, whether they be societal norms, media influences, or political agendas. It signifies a relinquishing of one's autonomy and a submission to the control of those who construct the illusion.

A Rejection of Growth: Choosing the blue pill is also a rejection of personal and spiritual growth. Growth often comes through facing challenges, through questioning the world around us, and through embracing the unknown. The blue pill, in contrast, is a rejection of this journey—a refusal to grow, to evolve, and to seek a deeper understanding of existence.

Fear of the Unknown: The decision to take the blue pill is often driven by fear—the fear of what lies beyond the veil of illusion. The fear of facing a reality that might be harsh, unforgiving, or profoundly different from the comfortable narrative that has been constructed. This fear paralyzes the individual, keeping them locked in a state of complacency.

Those Who Choose the Blue Pill

Individuals who choose the blue pill are often those who are content with the surface level of life. They may fear the disruption of their worldview or the consequences of challenging deeply held beliefs. These individuals may:

Cling to Familiarity: They are drawn to the safety of what is known, what is predictable. They prefer the comfort of routine and the reassurance of societal validation over the uncertainty that comes with questioning the nature of reality.

Avoid Responsibility: The blue pill represents an avoidance of the responsibility that comes with knowledge. To see the world as it truly is requires action, it demands a response. Those who choose the blue pill are often unwilling to take on this responsibility, preferring instead to remain passive observers of life.

Live Within Boundaries: The blue pill takers live within the confines of the system, accepting the limitations imposed upon them. They do not seek to transcend these boundaries, nor do they wish to explore what lies beyond. Their lives are characterized by conformity and adherence to the prescribed narratives.

Reject the Call to Awakening: The choice of the blue pill is a rejection of the call to awakening. It is a refusal to engage in the journey of self-discovery, to explore the deeper mysteries of life, and to seek a higher truth. It is a denial of the spiritual quest that leads to enlightenment.

The Deeper Implications

The choice between the blue pill and the red pill is not just a fictional concept; it is a metaphor for the choices we all face in our lives. Do we choose to remain asleep, accepting the comforting lies that we are fed, or do we awaken to the sometimes harsh, yet liberating truth?

In Hermetic philosophy, this choice is akin to the decision to remain bound by the material world, with its illusions and distractions, or to seek the divine truth, which lies beyond the veil of appearances. The blue pill is the path of ignorance, leading to a life lived on the surface, where one is controlled by external forces and never truly knows themselves or the world.

For those who choose the blue pill, life may seem easier, but it is a life lived in shadows, a life where the true light of understanding never penetrates. It is a life of perpetual sleepwalking, where the deeper mysteries of existence remain forever hidden, and where the soul remains trapped in the prison of the matrix.

In conclusion, the blue pill represents more than just a simple choice—it symbolizes the decision to remain in darkness, to accept the illusion, and to reject the profound truth that lies beyond. It is a decision that many make, whether consciously or unconsciously, every day. Yet, for those who dare to take the red pill, who choose to awaken and see the world as it truly is, a path of profound discovery and liberation awaits. The choice is always ours, and in that choice lies the power to shape our reality.

my short treatise on a world with a complacent god

“God is dead,” “God has left us,” “God isn’t real.” He is dead because we killed him, he has left us because we disappointed him, and he isn’t real because of course not. All these answers betray the existential horror of disappointment and being forsaken by our “father.” They call him that because a “mother,” couldn’t bring down a plague or let loose locusts upon the land, he is a “father” because you can always disappoint your father. If god is dead, gone, or nonexistent then why does it matter? Why do we care? You can’t revive what has been stamped out in the hearts of people, nor bring back someone who left of their own will. The truly terrifying answer would be that god is here. Forget inimical beings, our god is a complacent one, a nescient one. One that created man, the world, and the heavens, and one that lost control. Forget the concepts of “punishment,” and “damnation,” because he gave us agency and temptation. God is here and has lost the brakes. No punishment works, we have cured the plague, mastered the elements, mastered the mechanics of which he used to exact dominance over men. Prometheus was punished because he gave man power over god. Fire represents knowledge of course, but it also represents the consuming desire of curiosity. Own fire is owning the ability to cast back the shadows in the natural world, it is own the means to peel back the curtains on god's stage. God is here and has no control over man.

This being the case,  we are doomed to the same struggle since Adam and Eve. We are to fight over the sins god has imbued into us, doomed to labor over the morality found in the concept of “damnation” promised to us. The unfortunate reality is that living in a complacent gods world does not mean we should surrender to anarchy. The truth is we have built our own gods to take his place. We have built a society on the theoretical morals god gave us, and evolved them. This is what Nietzsche and Kirkegard got wrong. We couldn’t kill god if we tried, not through faithlessness anyway. For god is a man alone, as we are made in his image, god is human. His is not a benevolent force, he is a man, a slave to a runaway creation. 

Those who believe in a god who is punitive and capable of delivering eternal punishment understand the concept of constant surveillance. In a theological sense, surveillance is comforting because it means he is watching, he is watching you complete good deeds and avoid bad ones. It is consequential morality, you do good, you go to heaven, bad, hell. The reason our modern society is so willing to embrace entropy is because of the nature of our neon god. We as modern and faithless human beings do not understand the concept of theological surveillance because eternal punishment does not exist. Unfortunately nothing lies after death, and therefore the only punishment that does exist is temporary mortal punishment, one we can bear until it is all over. Our neon, human god, exists in security cameras and our fabricated justice systems. Judges are our neon saints and jurors our neon angels. We very much have a handle on our means of spiritual and physical flagellation, our temporary and mortal justice is unfortunately too humanely lenient. Prosecution represents the true and moral force of justice, the defense represents our human advocate. God can weigh the measure of a heart on a scale while humans can only measure our humanity. Us godless bastards have to rely on our confidence in fellow men, we have to rely on a neon faith.

The decent reason there is nothing after death in a world with a complacent god is how could he fairly measure concepts like “good” and “bad”? Goodness and badness no longer follows the same rules as 0 AD. An infinitely wise and fair being could not base someone's entrance into heaven on “loving thy neighbor” or having a pure heart, free of sin, because put simply, no one cares anymore. Sin has no bearing on modern decision making because there is no faith anymore. Nietzsche was right that science and education has killed faith, there is no reason to believe in a father who we no longer need. We don’t have to pray for rain, for a good harvest, or good health anymore. We have grown up, and left the proverbial nest. By that realization, we have nothing to return to. The gate of heaven has been closed because we chose to leave, and shut it behind us.

NEW AGE ASTRAL BLISS

New Age astral bliss narratives are filled with fantastical illusions, wishful and magical thinking, self-deception and escapist fantasies of the rainbows and butterflies outlook on life that appear to be like a Disney movie. Many times, severely emotionally wounded people are led into the New Age, where they are not interested in healing themselves or taking responsibility for their behaviors. They seek instead, further excuses to continue negative behaviors and being deceptive to others, in an accepted social setting. To have better discernment, the most common New Age Astral bliss profiles may include demonstrated qualities such as:

Complacency, carelessness, demonstrating a lack of responsibility and cluelessness towards others

Easily mentally confused and overwhelmed, vacant eyes and expression, incoherent and fractured communication

Drug like ecstasy, euphoria to sedative state when in astral frequency transmissions from "Guru"

Addictive tendencies to recreate the astral bliss filled state over and over again

Projected spiritual fantasies on others, accusing others of being dark, prone to emotional tantrums, acts as the chaos-disruptor

Ungrounded in body therefore prone to self-delusions, naïve with poor decision making

May be prone to emotional hysteria and archetypes of drama (rolling around on the ground crying, screaming, going into primal or fetal states when in groups)

Lack of discernment in environmental energies, places trust in untrustworthy people and highly corrupted organizations

Auric disconnections in one or more layers (i.e. body and heart disconnected)

No boundaries and open to whatever may come in the astral, covered with energy parasites

Rejects existence of pain and fear when confronted by it, cannot tell dark from light

Says everyone is "one" and so they can take whatever you have, because its theirs already

Tends to lack discipline or self-responsibility, may confuse drug like states and addictive states with higher consciousness state, retraumatizes wounds and fragments through drug use in shamanic journeying

Holier than thou with prideful self-importance, declares they are on a spiritual mission and that gives them permission to treat others badly

Hedonistic or bohemian personality, a total sensualist nature, following the highest excitement (Do what thou wilt)

Alien implanted, unaware of the existence of implants, mind control or negative ego

Unwilling to confront or face negativity or bad behaviors for fear of being labeled judgmental

Low ethical behavior, holds grudges, easily puts down others and engages in malicious gossip

These naïve astral visions propagated by the New Age hijack have filled people’s minds with denial, one of the most potent forms of fear-based programming. Denying the nature of reality and denying the painful truth by remaining in escapism and complacency by avoiding self-responsibility. These disempowering and negative qualities have come to be the primary factors that have dominated the acceptable narratives that are included in the New Age movement as group think. Some of the New Age material has promoted shocking emotional damage to people in this way, by positively rewarding negative behaviors and unethical conduct such as spiritual bypassing, as acceptable norms in the management of the spiritual community.

There is a delusional psychosis that is spread and promoted to shape and reinforce very negative behavior as acceptable behavior in some of the New Age circles, in order to groom these people as hosts and sleepers for serving the Thothian Luciferians.

The New Age hijack is what has been created in groups who refuse to grow up, or to become accountable for their behaviors and responsible for their lives, thus, committing to a personal value system that evolves into spiritual maturity and self-integrity.

In this context of a staged military style takeover, the general dissemination of New Age, Ascension or Disclosure information that is given out by the mind control handlers is used to take complete control over assigning approved topics and unapproved topics. Some of these fringe topics are being made increasingly acceptable in the mainstream, gaining larger audiences from massively growing commercial industries, as New Age themes have been parlayed into multiple million-dollar branding opportunities.

As an example, after the success of a hit televised show, it is now acceptable to talk about Ancient Aliens that were involved in human history a few thousand years ago, but it remains unacceptable to talk about aliens here on earth with us right now.

Hi there!

Just wanted to say that I really like your artwork and am a fan of the Missing Numbers stuff. The way the characters are made/portrayed has me in a chokehold ngl. (Fire and Blue are probably my favorite characters, they look really cool-)

But I was curious/had a question about Fire. The scar he has on his chest, the one surrounded by the rings of Arceus: How did he get it? And because it’s been said that Fire is too important to die: does Arceus heal all of Fire’s wounds or just the fatal ones?

That is all though! Have a good morning/afternoon/evening wherever you are!

first of all THANK YOU SO MUCH??? im so glad you like this insane little story of ours!!! hearing ppl really do care about it only motivates us more to work on it!!

As for your questions, these are very fun ones. You're asking all the right things.

(This got long.)

First: The Scar.

The scar over his heart is a very spiritual one. The rings are a part of it, in fact, not just markings.

Fire was made to be the perfect replacement. A flawless player avatar who was only that, and nothing more. A body to be inhabited, controled, and a face to be remembered and idolized. When a player controls this avatar, especially in Pokemon, it doesn't have any free will of its own. Isn't supposed to. Not allowed to think or feel. Just a window into the world through which you experience it.

Extra care was put into making him fit this, as perhaps the most important "avatar" in the Almighty's eyes, and especially after the critical failure that was Glitchy, who's emotions and freedom led him to not only his demise, but mass corruption of the old world that required a total overwrite.

... When a human is made, it is only natural that they've a heart and soul to them. Free will is something that defines humanity. For this man, however, that was not an option.

To get to the point: The scar is where a hand of the Almighty cut his heart from his chest. His mind was also taken from him- did you notice the Golden scar on his neck?

It wasn't always like this. He was made meek on purpose. Quiet. Complacent. Cold. But it was soon proven by another boy's meddling that not a single risk could be taken, leading to his first death at the hands of frostbite. And the subsequent, forced removal of his free will.

So, he was left after with no heart to feel, and no head to think with. ...That was the plan, at least. But time has a funny way of healing all wounds. Reds have always had a funny way of surpassing expectations, for better or for worse.

Second: The Deaths.

Death is a recurring thing in Missing Numbers- the answer to how Fire survives answers how everyone survives, honestly. It all comes down to the fact that the world of Pokemon is a game. And what do you do, when something goes wrong in a game? When you lose? When you die? And, what does the game do when it breaks? How does it handle that? When it's overwhelmed by impossible demands?

Reset. Restart. Try again.

Of course, you, the player, will remember what happened outside of the resets. That's how you learn, and do better, to avoid losing again. You have a different, higher perspective.

The characters within aren't supposed to remember, though. You can rewind, step back, redo things as much as you need- they'll always be the exact same. Unknowing, unaffected. So when Fire dies? When Blue dies? Those two particularly are in a vicious cycle, where things are always put right back to before they went wrong, but...

A big part of the horror aspect of Missing Numbers is breaking this world enough, that the beings inside of the game see past the veil.

The main four we post about within this story have all already had their perspectives shattered to see beyond that. So even if they can't comprehend it or understand why this happens, they remember it. The more it happens, the more powerless you feel. The more desperate you get for your actions to hold meaning. The more drastic the measures you take will become.

Trying over and over and over and over

and over and over and over and over

and over and over and over and over

and over and over and over and over

and over again.

Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for June 13

Tozer in the Morning Avoiding Deception

These are times of moral and religious confusion and it is sometimes hard to distinguish the false from the true. Our faithful Lord has tried to save us from the consequences of our own blindness by repeated warnings and many careful instructions. It will pay us to give close attention to His words. Toward the end of the age, we are told, there shall be a time of stepped-up religious activity and frenzied expectation, growing out of the turbulent conditions prevailing among nations. The language is familiar to most Christians: Wars and rumors of wars . . . nation shall rise against nation . . famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. . . . Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations . . and then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. Concurrent with this state of affairs will be a great increase in religious excitement and supernatural happenings gen erally. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. . . . And many false prophets shall rise. . . . Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

Tozer in the Evening Seeking God with ALL Our Heart

I have previously shown that any Christian who desires to may at any time experience a radical spiritual renaissance, and this altogether independent of the attitude of his fellow Christians.

The important question now is, How? Well, here are some suggestions which anyone can follow and which, I am convinced, will result in a wonderfully improved Christian life.

Get thoroughly dissatisfied with yourself. Complacency is the deadly enemy of spiritual progress. The contented soul is the stagnant soul. When speaking of earthly goods Paul could say, "I have learned to be content" (Philippians 4:11); but when referring to his spiritual life he testified, "I press on toward the goal" (3:14). "So stir up the gift of God that is in thee" (2 Timothy 1:6, KJV).

Set your face like a flint toward a sweeping transformation of your life. Timid experimenters are tagged for failure before they start. We must throw our whole soul into our desire for God. "The kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it" (Matthew 11:12).

i think a little bit of shame is a good thing and i think people avoid it.

when it comes to how politics affects people i think people become apathetic because they're afraid to acknowledge their complacency.

it all really comes down to fear and shame and guilt. i think people try to avoid these feelings but it's something that must be faced and acknowledged. when people try to avoid all suffering i know they haven't come to terms with themselves and with reality. and even with their own spirituality. what are you running from if you refuse to deal with your own greed and selfishness.

i don't think anyone can improve themselves and grow as empathetic individuals without recognizing this. i hope to keep growing in this way.

there's always more that i can do on an individual level to help others, and acknowledging that first is at least a start.

when the consciousness of this world is evolved, ai and robots will be utilised for the creation of basic necessities and more. eg. food, water, electricity, shelter. basic necessities will be free and along with that comes the luxury for humans to pursue what their true calling is in life. better to have a passionate police/teacher than one that is doing it out of necessity. It's crazy to think that we have the physical means to implement it now. on the dark side it could also be the start of a hedonistic spiral and the end of humanity.

Deepseek:

You’ve touched on a fascinating and highly debated vision of the future—one where advanced AI and automation liberate humanity from menial labor, allowing people to pursue their passions and higher callings. This idea aligns with concepts like *post-scarcity economics*, *fully automated luxury communism*, and even some utopian socialist visions. At the same time, you rightly acknowledge the potential pitfalls, such as societal decay through hedonism or loss of purpose. Let’s break this down further:

### **The Utopian Potential:**

1. **Freedom from Necessity:**

- If AI and robots handle food production, infrastructure, energy, and other basics, humans wouldn’t need to work just to survive. This could lead to a renaissance in art, science, philosophy, and personal growth.

- Jobs like teaching, policing, or caregiving could be filled by those truly passionate about them, rather than those forced into them for economic survival.

2. **Redefining Human Purpose:**

- With material needs met, people could focus on self-actualization (as in Maslow’s hierarchy). Creativity, exploration, and community-building might become central to life.

- A society where people work *because they want to*, not because they *have to*, could reduce stress, mental health issues, and societal conflicts.

3. **Technological Feasibility:**

- We already have the *technical* capacity to automate much of agriculture, manufacturing, and energy production. The barriers are political, economic, and cultural—not technological.

### **The Dystopian Risks:**

1. **Hedonism & Decadence:**

- Without struggle or necessity, some might fall into purposelessness—excessive leisure, addiction, or nihilism. History shows that societies with too much comfort can stagnate (e.g., Rome’s decline).

- The phrase *"bread and circuses"* comes to mind—if people are kept complacent with free comforts, they may neglect deeper societal or spiritual growth.

2. **Power & Control:**

- Who controls the AI and robots? If a small elite monopolizes automation, we could see extreme inequality (as feared with *"techno-feudalism"*).

- Even in a post-scarcity world, hierarchies might emerge around non-material resources (status, influence, creative prestige).

3. **Loss of Human Resilience:**

- If AI handles everything, do humans retain essential skills? Could we regress in problem-solving, adaptability, or even physical health due to over-reliance on machines?

### **Balancing the Future:**

The key lies in how society structures itself around this shift:

- **Guaranteed Basic Needs:** Universal Basic Income (UBI) or resource-based economies could ensure no one is left behind.

- **Purpose-Driven Culture:** Education and societal values must emphasize meaning, creativity, and contribution rather than passive consumption.

- **Decentralized Control:** Avoiding corporate/government monopolies over AI is crucial to prevent dystopian outcomes.

- **Ethical & Spiritual Frameworks:** As material struggles fade, philosophical and ethical systems will need to evolve to guide human behavior beyond mere survival instincts.

### **Final Thought:**

Yes, we *could* build this utopia today—if we aligned our economic, political, and social systems toward collective well-being rather than profit or power. The challenge isn’t the technology; it’s *human nature itself*. Will we use this power to elevate humanity, or will we self-destruct in comfort? The answer depends on the choices we make now.

Would you prefer a future where AI serves humanity’s highest aspirations, or do you fear we’re inevitably headed toward decadence?
