This does beg the question: how will we survive? Certainly in trump world, social services will be all but gone, and most certainly, the powers that be will not give a shit. Am I missing something?

Late Stage Capitalism\

2026

Is this late stage capitalism?

People watching endless commercials disguised

as content, watching hypnotized

as the reasons to stay home multiply Covid

the madhouse of freedom, that’s America

where Freedom is ridiculous

and everyone’s opinion

matters, such a big deal, (your opinion)

I can give you a break, (I can I can), I can let you

go on about nothing, walk the streets with a sign

saying nothing, late stage capitalism

manipulated and focused greed,

through the screens, on the devices

helpless to disengage (what am I doing?)

late stage

helpless to engage (I’m doing this is what I’m doing)

capitalism, schism, minimism, monism

monetism, hypnotism, religionism

late stage catechism

I’ve run out of ism, run out of my ism, don’t even say it

cuz I’m old and getting older at the same speed as

everyone else.

This is late stage capitalism.

I do think the end result of AI is most likely going to be catastrophic for us but I still absolutely love this message. Being able to dream up fiction and applications and prompt them to reality is the coolest thing ever IMO.

With the barrier of entry so low, I could totally see more and more free and secure OSS applications for the masses. That's my current dream for mutuality. It will be a very interesting ten years.
