You stare into the void. You press “Like”. The “Like” spirals toward the center of the void, stretching and elongating as if drawn to the infinite mass at the heart of a black hole. Time ticks by slowly as this happens, but its effects are no less potent. You try and engage with the void, to “Laugh”, to “Cry”, to “Follow” but each and every digital sentiment is inexorably gobbled up by the darkness.
This is the future and we are to blame. It is not too late to change this, but the void coughs up a profane simulacrum of our youths, an image meant to placate us, to soothe us to inaction. Calmed we are, and we praise and love the void for another day. So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
Unrelated, we watched the Ready Player One trailer this week. Enjoy.
