Anthropocene
get on with life in whatever hapless fate befalls us in this evanescent scenario of existence though our whatever stance may be absurd nevertheless grasp with final strength at the word sign of life in what's been left as the millennium tilts beyond the controle we can circumstantiate there are those who believe we can be uploaded into a cloud eternal information ether & the planet will slip away as we all become timeless satellites in infinite space so let the planet be consumed by the flames of hell we're gonna be transported into a silicon heaven even if we happen to be no more than a cartoon simulation the cosmic joke to escape extinction the last gnostic hope of salvation from the failed demi urge creation meanwhile we have surveillance capitalism the greed of corporations as super powers wage wars of economy as if should this anthropocentric creature quit the planet life won't go on but it will & it won't be uploaded in a cloud but simply create new cultural non human life forms of communication where hopefully animal life won't be bred for daily slaughter to feed our rapacious stomachs in the name of the economy
