If problems continue,

What makes the world such a special place right now is the feeling that everything is changing. Objectively, there is no “for better” or “for worse” — it’s all history and people are the ink that write it. Every decade has it’s own wind of change, but for some reason, this one feels like a tornado. Maybe that explains our obsession with windbreaker jackets? 

It used to take a lifetime to see a difference, but now we’ve grown used to it. We are desensitized to a point that a news story about space exploration gives us the same dull excitement as a burger review reel.

People have to understand that this isn’t (77%) and is (23%) our own fault. Information is precious — it’s a map to escape a jungle, a first-aid booklet, the life lessons of an army doctor. Information is one of the most valuable things, and we’re constantly printing it out on big rolls of toilet paper. Ironic that there was a shortage during the pandemic.

We can only imagine how Johannes Gensfleisch zur Laden zum Gutenberg would react to the modern news cycle and the evolution of his invention. We can only imagine, type it out, and generate an AI image. He looks heartbroken. Because now he knows that Earth travels around the Sun at 107 000 km/h, but down here, digital information travels at 200 000 000 km/h. Which one can we even try to keep up with?

Humans love to see a crashed digital screen in public. They find it fascinating, because it’s a reality check for everyone. None of this shit is real, no matter how big of a screen they get. It’s a sign of error by the heartless know-it-all machine. It’s a quiet smirk on our face, followed by a thought bubble: “I told you so.” We walk past it, going about our day, knowing that someone that looks like us has to unplug that bastard and turn it back on.

Pixels burn out and servers crash and information gets lost forever. The winds of change are in our sails, but they won’t give us the final coordinates. The tornado is on the horizon, and we can’t tell if it’s coming or going. The digital screen with the weather report has crashed again and the funny thing is, we might not turn it back on.
