The Future: Dead on Arrival



The future is a fiction we invent to scare ourselves at night. It's a magician's cheap illusion to make us think we have agency, power, or authority in a disinterested, careless, reckless cosmos composed of endless time, space, dark matter, and intense energy.

The future is a little white lie we whisper to ourselves every day.

It will be fine. 

It will get better. 

It will be tough, but you will persevere. 

You're gonna be so good at this. 

You're going to win the race. Just keep working, guy... Pull those levers. Push those buttons.

 Just you wait and see.

There will come a day.

When I get there.
