    No, killing Art and turning your brain into sludge is just the by-product. The intention of the techno fascists is to create a permanent underclass, forced to serve the rich and live in poverty. You know, slavery for everyone except the 1%.

    Just imagine a future where police and military are just drones controlled by an AI. Jobs are few and therefore badly paid. And on top of it the rich in their luxury bunkers watching us fight for the scraps and dying from climate change and malnutrition.

      The rich like Thiel and Musk don’t actually want to keep the rest of us as slaves, they want us to die so they can enjoy the Earth as a depopulated garden of Eden tended by their robots.

        Brave New World had genetically engineered humans for each wealth class, and made sure every class was happy.

        Our real-world dystopia seems to be going towards 99% of the world living in permanent misery.

          I think they will do some genetic engineering with all of us later on so that we don’t feel sad and miserable and continue serving “the economy”.
