brilliant work, and thanks. good to see it summarised into more short, readable form, as my version spans rather a lot more space and essays.
it's all about conditionality; the utterly fake 'shared ethic' informs you what you must do ('planetary care', 'social justice', etc, all defined by modelling agencies like IIASA, undemocratically), with the financial system eventually punishing you for refusing through CBDC three-party locks (via BIS IH Project Rosalind), though the system will initiatially be 'sold' to you through rewards (this laundry detergent (supposedly) has a lower carbon footprint, so here's a 10% off voucher for you to buy this brand instead)
it's enormeously clever, especially as it's also fused into education (Huxley/UNESCO) and even religion (Cohen)
so, yeah, keep an eye on the modellers like the IIASA, and the central banks (BIS innovation hub projects are a great showcase of what they plan; besides those you mentioned, Rosalind and Mandala are key)
very interesting esc - however, i have to say that what i think is really needed is a translation of your thesis. unbekoming's synopsis reveals so many ambiguous, abstruse and highly intellectualized terms and concepts that i found it quite difficult to slog through - and think most others would as well. even the key term "conditionality" is used in an unusual way that requires some mental gymnastics to interpret. perhaps you might be willing to do a summarized translation to make it more accessible to the reading public. i see in your comment here that you have that ability. otherwise i think this valuable perspective, information and warning will remain arcane.
ugh i was kind of hoping others would carry that particular baton, leaving me to focus on frontier analysis... i dont have a reagan-esque ability to communicate, i fear...
I was recently watching an LLM generated slideshow on YouTube that covers the 10K years that precede the creation of the Guild in Frank Herberts Dune Universe. Although I have not watched it in its entirety, the first 30 min or so were revealing. What it covers is the relationship between humans and thinking machines and their mecha counterparts and how this led to the Butlerian Jihad. The article above is essentially a precursor to this Dune Universe segment in that it depicts very clearly the mechanisms by which the upcoming digitally controlled prison complex will be enacted. I wont drone on about the details, but here is the link:
People talk a lot about dystopia, and it’s always in the context of “this will lead to”, “moving towards”, etc. How are we not currently operating in a dystopia? This is clearly hell, the world-of-men is hell. Man has made his own hell through the energies of anxiety and fear. And those at the very top are no better, the anxiety of losing control is projected down. Everything is fear, this is the land of fear. Fear of living in joy, fear of sharing our thoughts telepathically, fear of “all is one”, fear of “always being here”, fear of the finite world, fear of a greater power that created it. When you are in charge of everything, what is left to do? Denigrate the creator who makes you feel humble.
TODAY it is a well-known and easily demonstrable fact that the members of the US Congress and the State Legislatures do not read, evaluate or debate any of the particulars of the Legislation they vote on.
They cannot read or debate the issues because on average, NINE THOUSAND new bills are introduced each year at a rate of fifty-five per day and each Bill can approach 500 pages of content or more.
Since no one can evaluate THIRTY THOUSAND pages of Law Speak per day, the elected representative is forced to vote “as per the suggestion of staff”.
Our Constitutions call for ‘representative government of the people, by the people and for the people’. They do not call for ‘government by staff (permanent bureaucracy) recommendation’.
THEREFORE
In order to remedy the UNCONSTITUTIONAL WORKING OF THE GOVERNMENT, it is time to use the available technology of computers for the distribution of the text, and artificial intelligence (AI) for the aggregation of the decisions of up to FIFTY THOUSAND interested, responsible and qualified Citizens per Congressional district, herein referred to as AMPLIFIED VOTERS (AV) to give The People and all of Humanity the opportunity to solve their Governmental problems.
PROPOSAL
A Constitutional Amendment to Accommodate at Up to 50 Thousand Citizen Representatives per Congressional District Who Will Actually Read and Evaluate the Existing and Proposed Laws for the Purpose of Ratification or Annulment of Each and Every Line of Law and the Accompanying Enabling Legislation for the Purpose of Perfecting The Law for and in Behalf of The Citizens of the Country.
Each AV will “read” at least approximately ten pages of the existing law or proposed bill, and indicate “ratification, annulment or further clarification required” of each line/sentence of text. Artificial Intelligence will aggregate the results in real time to ratify or annul the whole.
Enforcement cannot be effected without ratification.

Air is not the only thing being conditioned. People are too. What was Covid if not a giant conditioning exercise? A very successful one, too. As can be expected. The people running the world are not amateurs and Covid was not their first rodeo. They've had a thousand or more years of practice at ruling us.

Who is esc?
It’s the button on the keyboard you hit when you know something is f’ed.
A distant cousin of the RipCord?
cute! and really perfect.

If Global empires to dominate and control ourselves with Power,
If everything rules up following the Capitalism to themselves,
If Justice is not enough and democracy is a contradiction in politics and human rights...
What's the meaning about our existence?
Probably born to die with no changes to see during our existence could be the worst reality.
So...
In a while enjoy the ride on Arts and Love to share for consoles.
