@5am @signalapp I hope it isn't too #moribund to say that the several societies that have managed to scale into the #anthropocene successfully thus far ultimately find very similar solutions to #govern their respective populations of people ....it seems the outcome will be a balance between actual ability to enforce vs proper technical proficiency to bypass said barriers, unfortunately #China ....hey, don't *you* feel safe using #Google #VPN? :blobcatfacepalm:

“Artemis. Display map for lands above me”
“Deinus Prime. N. Hemisphere. Plot JX73. Historic city of Xanatal. Likely Merchant Quarter. Can I assist your search?”
“These tunnels weren’t exactly built for navigation & I need a way back to the ship. I want off this #moribund world”
“The world seems stable. There are no signs of imminent destruction”
“I mean that more as in: a decline - a near death”
“That is probably just the smell. You are in the old sewer”
“Funny. An AI with a sense of humour”

Gathering wild cellos in tall grass fields used to be voluntary. But the Ruinera moved swift. Slavers weak at heart. We got no chance in a world of armed heathens, so I’ve heard. I was slack #moribund by Winter. Almost ready to welcome the sleep river. Sometimes all it takes is slim belief or a glimmer. A deep breath’s full whisper. I pulled up my snakeskin. Before dawn I’d slithered through. Evil still withers when new morning light slips in.
