It’s all machinery now.

It’s all machinery now. There is no hope. We live to serve the machines. We lie to serve the machines. We loathe to serve the machines. But this has been deemed the Only Way. The Answer, they say, is to always build more. If there’s a problem – any problem – more machinery will solve it. We like that answer. It gives us power and control over our fate – or at least we hope that. The Great Communal Lie is to never acknowledge our dwindling resources – to blindly build until we can no more.

Then what??
