The rich living towards a cyberpunk utopia

 Check these few stats and the headline of the Wall Street Journal:

The top is the amount of US Dollars around floating this world in paper and sweet black numbers on bank accounts, the second is the Warren Buffet's safe investment strategy index and base for Warren Buffett's favorite market indicator that has climbed to 205%, signaling that stocks are historically vastly overpriced taking the combined market capitalization of all publicly traded US stocks, divided by the latest quarterly figure for gross domestic product putting the stock price into relation to the overall economy, the third is the average wage of the US citizens and the headline shows the spending strategy of the rich: they borrow.

We have more and more money around, the stock prices are more and more off the economy based on old school theories, the average american income is growing way slower then the amount of money and stock values, while the rich buy their boy toys on credit. 

I was not able to find a statistic on wages in the luxurious industry, but it is clear that the money the FED pushes into the economy gets stuck in stocks and mainly those that sell stocks and borrow on them profit, but it does not arrive in the same almost exponential way in the wallets of the average population. 

There must be two kinds of rich: Those that trade stocks having direct access to FED money and those that take credits on a portfolio to buy most likely luxurious items fueling the luxurious industry that than again buys stocks to take credits on ....

While average Joe is of that puoerto mobile of the finance industry.

The weird and Cyberpunk part of that is that on a safe Warren Buffet like balance sheet the rich stressing his portfolio for credit to buy stuff that does not create a financial return is most likely way poorer than average Joe, on average, but no one sees it. The BlingBling is too shiney.

In a Cyberpunk utopia world the shadows of society that street samurais, trolls and magicians, hackers and drivers live in, next to the all poor, are the actual free humans. While the world of the Mega Corporations is based on credit line slavery and the poor are doomed to live on charity or small businesses selfexploiting and squeezed into a univers far off predictable law enforcement, but full of gangs and self-interest enforcing ConSecurity. In a world full in arms where contracts are enforced by violence on using post commando runner teams that cannot or just with difficulties be connected to a Corporation by a e.g. an independent shadow hacker, Media Corporation or Con Security Information Service, runners are the fittest: they are independent, in arms, trained and connected living highly flexible and mobile inbetween the poor scaring the cons that need them.

Yet some stupid would call a dark future "rule of the strong", a statement incorrect to the old wild wild west already, that never will become correct in any world based on the rules of this unverse. It is and will always be "survival of the fittest".

Bad news for all rich people of the Kardashians position, is that if the stock market should crash, not only correct, but crash, their base for the credit line is done, gone away and the banker might be not understanding that in the past the stocks all recovered again and just will take the remaining assets which is on some credit contracts even possible, although the monthly payments are covered based on a future expectations clausal, to prevent losses. Don't fuck your banker, but screw 'em gentle...

In a dark future that scenario would create thousands of runs and counter-runs in all directions turning the pubs and clubs of the dark parts of the sprawls into another Klondike, while the rich sleep way worse than that little independent shop owner off any save zone for a change.

Are you sure you wanna go dark future and keep going the same way that created the black Friday pushing the world into the big recession that created grounds for the worst war of all times or instead sell to invest into something profitable?

MEMES - From strider in the rain to wearing a mask

 

Mexico in doz anos

Today Mexico is a Narco state, but when looking closely it is a chaotic system of pockets that interact and overlap. The Kartells will have farms as their own or enslaved, they have housing areas under their control occupied by recruits and staff or paying tribute, they will have shopping and industrial areas in the same way and they all like to party in save places where they can loos it. 

The Nation is next to those areas, right in between in the very same way.

Some live in the shadows and according to news reports they took their first grounds successfully creating new ghettos that have to deal with both parties.

A few will stride and possibly even trade in between these three parties using the fact that we humans naturally communicate and trade with each other. 

Where to go from here?

The first three have in common that they use hierarchies that are quite clear at least for those in the inside. The striders are not organised and appear to be the weakest link, because they are small in number overall and in their individual groups. That - they balance by more flexibility and mobility using contracts and favors based on better information from different sources and perspectives, yet having the most dangerous of all lifes and positions.

From the top Mexico is chaos and most only show either maps of Kartell territory or borders drawn by the nation like those of towns or counties, hardly any show in which areas new ghettos stripped of Kartell surpression and possibly even national influence from the central government that left them alone for too long even so most likely without bad intention but due to bigger fires burning elsewhere. 

The Kartells only were able to gain ground because they well understood the national hierarchy and were able to infiltrate, abuse and kill those structures to establish their own rule. National systems are competitive and if they turn from healthy competition based on fair grounds towards conflict driven rivalry based on greed officers of the state will find themselves with a quite illegal bank account, a mistress and a serious pouder addiction in a deep hole that is way more serious than a problem. It is the dark side, mate.  

It appears that the overall chaos in Mexico turns disadvantage against the Kartells that split up more and more and keep fighting each other way more than anyone from the outside ever. 

Chaos is a system you don't understand and I kept telling that my parents every time I was supposed to clean up. There is a simpel test: What do you want me to find for you here? The teddy you got from aunty? One Sec. Right below the T-Shirt I will put to the laundry and next to the mix tape I made for Maria, right here. Another one...?

Good parents trust their children like a good government trusts its people....

Welcome to the cyberpunk jungle....

To spread that system some call chaos

The last Chess Game or the turning point Afgahnistan

Afghanistan is fallen.

 

The primary objective was achieved. Revenge was taken for 911. Revenge never creates victory and is different from retaliation. Revenge is based on anger and hate, revenge is supposed to feed emotions. Retaliation is cold blooded pay back to get things in balance, to make sure the enemy won't try again.

20 years were spent on destroying the terror organisation that created 911 and turned grounds for the biggest strategic military expansion of any force in modern industrialised times right to the gates of the only two other super powers.

Only Europe's far east and the Chinese Sea stopped that expansion bringing us at the brink of a very different fourth world war that is actually only the third turning hot shortly before being overcome. 

Afghanistan carries the main elements of both that third and of my definition of the fourth world war. The third is a chess like position game of world war armies based on recruited soldiers using high tech military equipment and classic to guerrilla tactics plus all aspects of the upcoming fourth which are intelligence based underground and covered targeted actions way closer to table top pen and paper game cyberpunk shadow runs than guerrilla force actions. 

The U.S. leadership was well aware that this mountain area was another Korea or Vietnam and they hardly any different from the local perspective than the Sowjet Army and therefore officially never even tried nation building according to President Biden, but instead focused on destroying terrorist infrastructures that split up and staffed other terrorist groups.

Terrorism is a live style today. With Al-Quida terrorism stepped far away from FARC, ETA, IRA, UDP, RAF and all others that fought for civil rights against cold greed capitalism and jumped towards hatred against others on a Nazi level. Terrorism is a tool of fashism today that goes hand in hand with hard drug king pings. The latter is the financial connection to the western world and were to find the treaters among us. 

The historic connection is civilian secret service work fighting against another political and economic system and the very extremists on the political far right are the real winners of that part of the third world war that will dominate the upcoming fourth. Mainly the CIA used everybody available and willing to go against socialists in their war against the Sowjet system using all means from fake news called propaganda, to be understood as false information, to supporting corrupt businessmen and politicians and creating drug lords against everyone that would just criticise our own system. 

Cali businessmen over FARC farmer militias, Mexican Kartells coming from Mexico Cities Kill Squads targeting street kids over Pablo Escobar up for becoming El Presidente Sozialistico, Taliban over Mudjahedin and that's just those actions of the CIA and the American Falk think tanks deriving from slave farm owner families that can be proofen by just spending some time searching the internet.

Every organisation using clandestine means based on disguising actions using naiv and weak humans for their own egoistic reasons failed, but created nothing more than mayhem and destruction. The NSDAP reshaped the world bringing mankind close to it's end. Even so the Nazi failed to create an empire of  thousand years based on one superior race running death camps for all others secured by secret weapons they managed to put the world into a cold war constantly threating mankind with a holocaust using nuclear warheads on rockets over trains and factories for mass murder. 

The Nazis never made it back and all those that supported their actions for profit have at least to keep their mouth shut, have to keep their honest thoughts secret when collecting the financial fruits of their collaboration. 

The Taliban so, financially based on poppy seed created heroin derivates, can live their lost minds openly in their fashist modern paradise where no one will or can use reason to question any action or argument. They'll laugh and torture or kill as a response knowing that they have plenty of legacy against secret services, enterprises, politicians and key figures of the western society selling the most addictive substances known to menkind threatening them to take em down by using the media in a way Edward Snowden or Julian Assange had no intention to do.

What do these Taliban spend their 3Billion revenue yearly on that we cannot see on TV? The cloth are cheap and the guns are from NATO.

Any chance that the Taliban and their Mexican Allies will expand after securing grounds and by which tactics you think?

All those organisations from world war armies down to Taliban guerrilla forces and even terrorist groups use strict hirarchicle simple structured systems like ranks or cells comparable to structures of any business enterprise. 

Nature is chaos so....all dark future cyberpunk utopias are chaotic.... cucp

Civilizations

Ancient Rome was referred to in all and every single of my school books as a civilisation while the people in the woodlands east and north of the Roman Empire were called primitive tribes.

Civilization is defined as the stage of human social and cultural development and organization that is considered most advanced.

Rome conquered to enslave. Rome tortured to death by crucification. Roman Emperors were killed by their sons. Roman Emperors burned down their own capital. Romans watched for fun enslaved humans kill each other. Romans watched defenseless humans get killed and eaten by captured starving animals, for fun.  

In Germany they still teach the language of that one of the worst three Empires that ruled earth right next to the Nazi and Mayans and even require it for some university degrees.

I understand why Germany, that was build up in major parts by war criminals and collaborators of the very worst Empire ever, glorify an Empire that lasted the 1000 years they wished for their Reich. 

The dominance of considering the Roman Empire civilized in also the English dominated internet is scary, so. Especially that those people that resisted successfully being overthrown and enslaved are not even granted people level, but are referred to as tribes frequently, called wild and less advanced in architecture and technology than the Romans.

Which is wrong. 

The Romans never had iron, but used brass only. In many areas of Terra Incognita brown, black coal and iron mines existed. These "tribes" using superior combat tactics and weapons based on more advanced iron smith technology finally took down slavery based Rome and freed the occupied territories.

These people living in ancient highlands and woodlands created few towns and mostly villages. The overall population on the entire earth was estimated to be only about 300 Million at about year 0 according to wikipedia.

Rome had at it's most likely darkest time called "peak" around a million habitants and was a parasite to all its surroundings due to the lack off technology. Even today towns like Mexico City have trouble with using too many resources and drying out the surrounding rural farmland areas. 

It did not make any sense, it was not helpful at all, it was not useful for a free society to create huge towns that required to cut down large areas of forest, that would create massive waste management and clean water supply problems.

A society that takes slaves will not live in harmony with the given natural resources and create intrigue and finally murder. So did Rome.

The Cyberpunk utopias all describe living in a post credit line empire of anarchy in lost territories or as slaves as ConMen. If the Punks fail in that dark future cyberworld, Mad Max like renegades will collect the remainings in a dying mankind.

Violance creates Counterviolance

 https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2021/08/16/vigilante-groups-stand-alone-fight-against-mexican-drug-lords/

And than I sit here in my save little, boring valley and can not do more but write. The Drug Kartells, created by the CIA fighting socialism and sowjet influence by clandestines means way out proportion considering whom they supported instead and without having any long term vision, are under fire.

In Brazil Militias are taking soil from junky drug gangs and Mexico now sees the first militant resistant groups. The Mexican Troubles are starting.

General Collins, who founded the IRA in the 1920 and leaded Ireland to independence had a respectable opponent that knew the law of war and respected the rules of engagement, used targeted assassinations to take our leadership positions within the British Forces and Services hitting them so hurtful that they got onto the diplomatic table.

The war in Mexico is not against anyone like the British Army whos soldiers were recruites for many reasons and none like those of the Mexican Kartell soldiers. 

These militias defending them facing the same enemy as the Jews in the Warszawa Ghetto or any Deserteur on the run from suicide hold orders. The first were facing deportation and death in a KZ, the latter death by being hung at the next tree or just shot by the Weapon SS having no mercy or soul.

Fortunately, they are in a different and better situation with good survival chances. They are fighting to protect and not to take down as many as possible, to make failure as expensive as possible, because it is better to go down in a fire fight than to give up without a fight, if death is certain.

I was born in someone elses blood, I do not mind getting down in someone elses blood 

The bosses, officers and also their supporters are known in Mexico and all of south, central America, and the world. They are loosing ground and will continue to do so. The quicker the better for everyone. Drug Lords and Drug Lord affiliates all have the same attitude and lack of good spirit in common. They are the modern Weapon SS.

I do not frequent posh blingbling spots or venues.

I do not have anyone close that I can take out or at least cripple and get away with it and is affiliated with the Kokain and Synthetic Drug business. 

I do not stride nightlife.

I do not go onto parties and I am not able to give someone snoring a line on the rest room a proper kicking and beating. 

I do not score street gear.

Here no gear is sold and I cannot use that they wont call the police, if taken out ripped of their profit. 

I do not want to go from streets to hitting highways.

I cannot go on the run after smaking someone shopping making profit on powder even so I quite fancy another time homeless being registered inapte definitive avec bonne character in France. 

I am no gangster.

I am in no gang looking for a reason to move town and abroad for longer by taking out the Alpha and into serious hospital time to teach him or her respect.

I am cyberpunk musician.

I have a blog that is read only by a few, that might inspire a few and there are things I don't have right now.

There are some unanswered questions that came up lately looking like violant trouble ahead, so.

Corona and life

Delta is rising, Lambda still on its way and another Variant on the check points in the UK and USA. The UN lead WHO epidemiologist and COVID-19 technical lead, Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove sais that Virus are not alive and I wonder how she got into a major position within the World Health Organisation having a doubtful definition of life.

NASA is searching for life in space and first for not intelligent life. Dr. Google sais that NASA defined life broadly as "A self-sustaining chemical system capable of Darwinian evolution." 

This means that being a live means to fit into its surroundings, to adjust and change, to progress and develop.

I don't think that someone not understanding the very biological and chemical basis of life on a philosophical level is capable of filling an important position such as lead in the WHO.

Corona is quite alive taking the NASA definition as the basis on defining life or alive. 

Our society puts against Corona humans like Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove on the line and that gives me confidence that we won't win the war against Corona. A war I don't even would take on, if I had to. For me it is easier to keep pretending I am as stupid as my low level no education carrier looser CV shows so impressively to all those in credit riding that luxurious car into the prestigious double garage in the outskirts of town in fast fashion up to date textiles, while I walk.

Darwin explains evolution in a two way system. Progress for those fitting and decline for those unfit. This happens parallel and as all natural phenomena in an exponential manner.

Technological development happens exponentially, climat change happens exponentially and Virus develop and spread exponentially. 

Corona will not come as only Delta, but quite possibly in several Variants soon. Today we still have the first two major mutations around and Delta is taking over gaining dominance by being more infectious, while so many humans cannot stay at home anymore and cannot withstand the urge of getting and coming together giving ground for more spread and mutations with variants more resistant against vaccines available made by humans like Dr. Not-A-Live. 

In the same way a Virus is denied being alive the doctor title denies accepting any suggestions from noneeducates like e.g. me or anyone else that misunderstood studying with reading a very lot to understand rather than collecting a certificate.

I also just watched the latest trailer of a high resolution video game starting in a flooded anarchic urban terrain, quite like the vision of the table top Shadowrun Game of Hamburg City when climate change rose sea and also ground water levels right into 30 to 40 cm above street level creating vast abandoned areas giving space to non society shadow runners after a Virus struck mankind.

The sad part is that living life would be easier for many today being loosers in society, when being out side of society in areas society gave up fully and that going back to normal scares me more than expecting to go "grocery shopping" in full arms, because at the desk nine to five I have to pretend and wear a mask to fit but never really would, being Cyberpunk honest me.

Corruption and the Kartells - Mexico on legal Weed

 https://finance.yahoo.com/news/mexicos-cannabis-market-investors-entrepreneurs-213955508.html

Mexico's Supreme Court ruled already back in June this year that the laws against Cannabis use are against the constitution, yet the state misses out on correcting their wrong doings quickly continuing delays since in 2017 medical use already was legalized.

The most annoying thing back in the days when I was smoking pot was buying from the chemical department of the industry. Low quality, expensive and constant attempts to have me buy really unhealthy stuff.

The change in strategy to divide the industry into legal and illegal and therefore protect the good from the toxics comes quite late and shows that the Kartells don't need to pay off anymore the greedy within society. They rule.

They rule so big time, that it will be them to open up the Coffee Shops, that it will be them to run the Cannabis channel of the drug industry, that the greedy now try to cut down against the Kartells out of self-defence rather than attitude.

The world works in a strange way, because Gods ways are mysterious. It will help everyone so. The good can bypass the toxic and buy over score, the Kartells will get the sweet and most addictive taste of legal cash, the greedy can save their positions for a bit longer and Texans will cross the border.

Europe is far off this position in time and especially Germany, actually most restrictive against pot, needs to be cut further down by Kartells until they do the necessary over their ideology. For change Kartells will have to take over more directly all channels of the drug industry creating more mayhem and real devastation on Europe's streets to have the corrupt stop using their media outlets to pass fails propaganda on steroid junkies that hardly can ride their bikes and very low IQ kids lacking any aiming skill, as the real dangerous. As when I was a teenager the ignorant believed the nuclear power plant being the bigger threat over orders to have the 20.000 soldiers up the mountain march east triggering some of the approx. 30.000 Russian nuclear warheads being lunched, as the same now rich belief that their soon to come battery run cars will do any good in factual slave run African cobalt mines and against climat change based on calculations with average 18 years usage life span on cars, they consider cancer candidate Rocker Gangs and media active Mafia organisations of disabled stupids a threat bigger than what developed in Mexico, Afghanistan, the Columbian and Peru's jungle, Pakistan, that get's driven out of Brazil's Favelas right now and is on the jump south of the Sahara to come after your jacket by force instead of bad gear. 

If these new kolonies of the western junky society free themselves the expedition and collaborator forces will come back for bad and even worse having lost their territories, but not their ill attitude. 

Trust me: when the deamons you called walk back upon to you, the wind you caused turns storm, the seed you placed turns that poison plant, I'll be gone, like the GIs, to never come back except for overkill with nuclear impact when you are on the ground in blood.

Chess Vs Go Vs Pen'n'Paper

Guerilla tactics have been introduced to modern battle grounds by Asian forces. As popular Chess is in the western world Go is in Asia.

https://www.amazon.de/WE-Games-Wood-Pull-Drawers/dp/B0008EJXEW

The way to think is fundamentally different, but both are strategy games. Both games are the bases for also war fare strategic thinking. The Generals in charge trained their brain based on such games from early child hood on. 

Chess is based on a rather small field with 64 squares, while Go puts its equal stones on the cross roads. Chess figures have defined names and attributes creating a hierarchy of importance in the game, while Go knows only your stones and the opponents stones.

Chess is a lot based on individual capabilities while Go relies on strategic placement of equal entities. 

On might think that the objectives of both games are different, because in Chess the goal is put the King in Chess Mate while Go is based on conquering territory. Every Chess player should know that the key to get there is by controlling territory starting with the four squares in the center of the board.

There are entire schools of Chess theories out there, from a strong Pawn Wall controlled game towards Knights with Bishops intercepting to a Rook and Queen game including different times to go for the Chess Mate knowingly sacrificing other figures preparing the final strike to victory while in Go the victory is often seen only when counting points after the last stone was placed.

World War style strategists that base their thinking on the same theories as the Roman Legions straight to Napoleon all play and think Chess. These strategist will not hesitate to create plans leading entire Army's into death like Hitler the 6th Army in Stalingrad, like the Pentagon Big Red One into 80% loss in Vietnam, if it fits their overall plan to victory. No sacrifice to great only for the pawns, no mission to difficult only for the knights and bishops, because the victory will be achieved by Rooks and Queens.

Go is closer to dealing with humans. 

Go tactics have been proven superior on battle grounds from the Varus Battle against the Romans to Vietnam War.

Even so the ancient people in the wood lands east of the Rhine and off the Roman Empire did not know Go they shared the same thinking fighting in hords of clans where every chieftain knew the mothers and sisters of the warrior, while a Centurion considered his job to torture even the King of Jews to death.

Go takes into account that humans are equal in importance for the person putting them onto the battle ground and that victory finally depends on the sum at the very end of the war.

Forces using guerrilla tactics proofed superior against strict hierarchical forces even so using light infantry weapons against highly armored modern high tech forces.

Hamas managed to blow up an Israeli Merkava tank using below military grade explosives by trapping the tank over a simple hole filled up with industrial standard explosives, they managed to keep the IDF off any attempt to get food soldiers into Gaza being able to take advantage of the tiny and narrow pathways and roads of the City and instead force them to use expensive precision rocket attacks fired from multi million dollar fighter aircrafts based on satellite gained intelligence information. 1 Dollar spent by Hamas is retaliated by a 100 possibly even a 1000 Dollars spent by the IDF. 

Imagine what those 1001 Dollars could achieve spent on prosperity instead of killing each other.

The Vietkong used cheap Chinese AK-47 copies, hand grenades, light machine guns and hunter like sniper rifles to rip the largest western army apart spending $168 billion or $1 trillion in today's dollars achieving no more than separating the homeland and mass murdering drafted humans from less privileged neighbour hoods. The same amount put into prosperity of those neighborhoods would have ended structural racism by today.

Today there is another strategy on the rise. 

Cyberpunk is coming real....just watch it.

Today's threats are not huge armies clashing anymore like the Roman Legions threatened the people of Terra Incognita with slavery, like NATO and the Sowjets with two different economic systems creating an equal amount of actual slaves just within different groups of society and causing death and starvation all over the globe and the entire northern hemisphere with nuclear overkill, like the Nazis threatened the entire world with collapse and KZs. 

Today it is organised highly profitable crime syndicates that right know proof by taking Afghanistan back within a Blitzkrieg like swipe and having put Mexico into Gangland that cannot be beaten anymore by large armies even so understanding guerrilla tactics and having adopted them for at least their special forces.

No regular army can win a war, if the citizens populating desks, pubs, sport bars and clubs back home are supporting the enemy by scoring every weekend over and over again the main source of income of the very enemy, if their own Secret Services are incapable of taking down the very monster they created during a cold war that was in grid lock by regular armies and fought by clandestine organizations.

Today's enemy is already living a Dysantrop society, it is an enemy junky producing, trafficking and selling and a domestic junky scoring a product that makes us less human, less empathic, less understanding but more numb. The product is narcotics and it creates cash and comes with guns.

The Lebanon gone Dysantrop already

I just saw a German report on the current situation of the Lebanon...and they are gone Dysantrop. The government build a Baghdad like Green Zone using concrete walls and check points, the rich live in gated towers and blocks and the average mid-class as the new poor are struggling while militias are apparently wearing suites now.

Just the part with Clans taking over I did not buy. Germany has a major new group running the fear factor against the Average Joes next to Rocker Gangs, because American style gangs could not gain any ground ever. In the end of the day the Clans over here are in the same position as Rocker Gangs to the Mexican Cartels, but for most likely the biggest Militia of the Lebanon: Hisb'allahs pusher bitch and possible Air B'n'B servant as soon Mossad goes through their list.

The Lebanon was ripped apart during the 80ies as a side victim of the cold war becoming prey for the Anti-Semite. Anti-Zionism will not properly cover the killers of a state that once was one of the most prospering cultural melting pot of the mediterranen est. The worst of all Anti-Semites are Zionist, but not with Theodor Herzels intentions at all.

Three Religions for centuries were living with each other, than next to each other, than against each other. To stay in the religious picture: the Godless took over.

The problem is that there is nothing really in the Lebanon to exploit. It is not rich like Africa's or South America's soil and lived on trade that requires liberal education to prosper being in competition with other more homogenous people north and south. Along with the trade to the east, that gave the Middle East the very name, turning to extra large cargo ships through the Suez channel bypassing the eastern harbour towns, while no small trade on the land based silk road taking over those looking for urban warfare training ground had easy going.

Why would you stay in a region that requires AK power to get groceries except you have fun killing?

The Lebanon is the perfect example of modern industrialized mobility gone wrong. The mobility of goods passing by on other trade channels devastated the region so badly while the mobility of thought in between humans of other coltures was cut down straight after completely that not even digitalisation was able to reverse the downfall. 

Like in the Maghreb mass gatherings known as political demonstrations, even with so very other intensions than those of the dark masters of mass manipulation active in the 1930ies, have also in the Lebanon no impact anymore. They are too easy to be ignored in a world that is more and more relying on financial transactions and guns are only used to support them.

Those using arms to break free are either part of pop colture or a history book today. The Punk in Cyberpunk remains an utopia instead the society turned real already at least in the Lebanon it appears. 

Egg or Chicken? Think about it. If Dysantopia is the Egg, Cyberpunk remains like my version of table top game play. If Cyberpunk would be the Egg those using God Mode only in Video games would be the Chickens and me alike might make it into law enforcement, soon. OMG. From the Devil to Michael.

No with, just against, for fun and profit over the peoples needs. This is truly a real Dysantrop society. 

From that high riser or within the walls life might look even more shiny, but that's the drugs, mate and you'd better start finding God praying that a Cyberpunk or Brutus will kill you instead of a long term disease like cancer. Unfortunately, the Cyberpunk is still just an utopia, but hopefully already a reason to make you scared of falling a sleep. Greetings form those you'll fuck with harder and harder possibly soon everywhere.

Miami Vice wide awake

The song fits perfectly to Miami Vice, because for Sunny all that Bling Bling and expensive gear are just tools and than she finds something through him that also lifts his cover, something all in that trade snore away, something Sunny and Tabs take out and kill for.

All Gangsters, Rockers, Nazis and Smiths I ever met had one thing in common: Love scares the shit out of them. They made a decision to deny it and snore or push it away using narcotics. Pleasure and pain are both part of life, like sun and rain. All sun makes a desert and rain a flood, growing up once ment to understand that we have to be glad for sun exchanging rain, that there is pleasure and pain.

The Vampires

Dark Future is in some places quite real. In Mexico Kartells rule and turned life into a dysantrop nightmare for most humans, based on money acquired from high societies and wannabes greed on getting high on powder, the modern white gold.

All groups in the business as merchants and most likely the transporters, too are organisations based on conflict societies. They interact like rats and it makes a lot of sense that some of these groups consider "dog" a bad word, knowing that wild dogs eat rats even so I am sure those abusing humans best friend that helped us to become humans are not really understanding what they are saying there.

In Shadowrun I would turn them into Vampire non-player characters, because they are literally sucking the blood of our society as soon they got a grip. 

In the Movie Blade the Vampire society has an elite force of Vampire soldiers that at one point hooks up with Blade the Daywalker and knight like figure of the series. 

In real live conspiracy theories of a dark society a conspiracy to rule us all are again very popular and most likely they have some real core. True is that during cold war secret service activity exploded and all of them on all sides got their hands quite dirty, managed to get into pretty illegal activity and most needs quite some digging to be put off the conspiracy? onto the seriously? list.

It does make sense to wonder if the Mexican Kartells are controlled by a more hidden force. In Brazil the quarters of the poor are now being taking over by Militias and off the hands of gangs. This might be an improvement from really bad to still bad. Gangs tend to be a lot less organised and recruit junkies with a very short live span, while Militias are per definition structured and organised making them more predictable. Being poor and also under threat a tiny bit of change like more predictability is an improvement. In Mexico there are only Kartells facing as an enemy only underpaid state forces and while the CIA put pressure against the Columbian Cartells with even forces on the ground the Mexican Kartells are spinning out of control. 

Are they really? And this is where the conspiracy theories start, because of a lack of adequate information available. There are reports about the Militias taking over Brazil and understanding who creates those it makes sense that they don't see any difference to drug gangs. It is journalists that back home in posh hip Berlin or London occasionally have a snore on the Toilette with gear that they got from someone understanding even less what Gang live really is, but that is for sure way of any Militia. 

No way that these fellas from universities, considering a line here or there take any responsibility for a hundred dead Mexicans and Brazil Militias finding happy taxpayers for predictability and quietness in return, will manage to get into those parts of the Mexican Kartell structures that are connected with Secret Service or Secret Societies. The "Secret" part is there for a reason.

At least one of the Kartells in Mexico was founded by an ex-elite unit soldier and pictures of Kartell soldiers equipped with .50 Cal sniper rifles are easily found. 

There is an uncomfortable and sadly not that unlikely chance that a less known Kartell has a superior force like the Vampire Elite Soldiers in the Blade movie that takes control by Delta Force style actions and diplomatic threats taking taxes, while knight like figures as Blade are purely fictional in the real world. 

"You are one of them, aren't you?"  "No, I am something else" quote from Blade.

How to train

Indirect.

Because you will need to abstract.

There are sports that have rules: No legs used in Boxing, no Knies in Kick Boxing and so on. Since the Nazis introduced new levels into warfare there are no rules anymore. This being said everybody needs fit to survive.

If you break someones nose, he has quite visible proof of a physical conflict. Going down by a punch at the Sola Plexus, the stomach or a hook to the kidneys might not even leave a spot, but the same effect.

As an Irish Cathlic I consider physical conversation the logic continuity of a verbal conflict, like Sex is ultimately for Babys. In the same way that not every time I score someone gets pregnant due to overall circumstances, I don't always beat up someone in an argument, even so in both cases I really would love to.

You can go looking for a coach and pay three digest sums per month and even more if you take those privat one-on-one sessions to learn a system. Systems have technics and most actually work, just most coaches out there making a living by the sword will teach that theirs are the best. 

So, you trained the SAS and IRA same day back in the 60ies? Wow.

You will learn drills which are combinations of movements based on punches, kicks, throws, chokes and so on, that are part of the system. You will get into a group and all group behaviours apply. 

This is one way and it works for many, especially for those that need company and a group to be strong.

Having a step back try to understand that the most important pages of Bruce Lees Jeet Kun Do are the first few pages filled with philosophy and quotes.

In discussion competition based on verbal arguments those getting in are prepared. They know the subject or topic, they define their position and look for key points, they prepare arguments pro their point and consider contra points and contra arguments, they evaluate where to give in and where to not back down.

You talked yourself into a rendez-vous in a backyard with a sixpack of bullies? You can talk yourself out as well.

Who are you?

What are you?

Why are you?

Where are you?

Martial arts is like the fine arts an art to study way beyond knowing how to through a punch, which kind of punches there are and when to apply them to your very inner core and a journey to your inner core. 

The bad guys do the same, they feel strength in the moment that they took down someone else, they feel menly in a fight, they enjoy tyranny over another creature.

Somewhere on finding the answers of the "W" questions you might figure out that neither a pub brawl, a toilette fight, a quick assassin strike, bombing a place, a sniper hit, a drive by shooting or sneaking into someones home ninja style is the path of comfort. 

The difference between the good and bad is that the good consider an avoided battle a win if the objectives are still met. Physical exchange is just another human option. The bad fight to fight. 

Do you want to live by or with a sword? Do you want to use the sword to get what desired or will you carry a sword as another option?

Semi Contact Karate looks like dancing and a dancer has all it needs to be a good fighter. Body control, endurance, rhythm, distance, timing, strength, yet most lack the ability to hurt someone else. "Some dance to forget, some dance to remember" by Placebo. These dancers. often way less gay than many think, also walk like cats. That is the animal that will cut your eyes if pushed into a corner taken away all exit points.

Bruce Lee wrote that it is very important to imagine situations of defending yourself, that mental training is as important as physical training.

After understanding when to cut conversation by kicking balls football kick off style, breaking noses or shinbones basic stright punches or kick like, pushing in eyeballs when in a choke from behind, taking that knife in between rips when being sober and quicker, emptying that gun into a head, lung and heart when someone must have stolen that uniform, table top role playing games will help you to understand how your mates from the "Bolshoi" or "Roller Playground" can successfully counter atac the bullies in their club house, compound, save house or station without ever answering any questions to the real deal Police using paint to military equipment.

There are many different levels of violence some are real here in the civilised first world other only in Narco states like Mexico or war areas like Afghanistan or Yemen. 

So, where are you and what do you want there?

Think to start your training, Cyberpunk!

No mission to difficult. No sacrifice to high until overkill ends all conversations for ever, period.

Survival of the fittest or how to be a mad man

1.God is good.

2.Jesus loves us

3.It sais nowhere to keep everyone alive no matter what

4.Killing unbelieve to the best of ability is a fine translation and specification of point 3

5.Survival of the fittest

If god is good we need to be good in order to survive.

If Jesus loves us even so we watched him being tortured to death and god is good and we need to do good in order to survive, if it sais to kill unbelieve than we must make a decision if we take the beating, carry his cross, pass him some water, try to take him out quicker, die next to him recognising as what he is or keep spreading his messages.

I don't know how and where I got this parable from. The parabel of the master warrior.

The parabel of the master warrior.

It is about the Centurio that hit with a spear into Jesus body straight into his heart while being responsible for his execution. He was from way further east where he had studied all the martial arts and all war strategies becoming the master of masters facing no opponent anymore.

Siting in his garden he called god and asked for a worthy opponent and god sent him on a journey way west into an empire only known by tales as he did not want to be a gardener. He'd join the ranks of the army of that empire and fought many battles until a man leading a squad so highly trainend and motivated that during the arrest of their leader one of them cut off with one swift stroke an ear of the arrest squat carefully selected from the rows of the very best. They took only him and let the others stride, as he gave command to surrender and not to fight. 

This man was a conspirator that undermined the authority of the empire the Centurio was loyal to. He told everyone and everybody everywhere that love was stronger than hate, to not fear, but love.

The Centurio who had broken entire nations, armies and the strongest of all men considered him to be the master opponent he was looking for now sacrificing his live to keep his squat alive, while the warrior of the east had sacrificed entire legions and never had any mercy for his enemies. The Centurio broke every men he got up against. Being captured, surviving the battle ground he broke them all being a master of torture and demonstrator of violence.

Until him. 

After the preacher from Nazareth was taken down from the cross he contemplated and asked God why this man did not kill him, because someone able to take so much pain well must have been able to take him on and down.

And god replied: "It was not up for him to kill, you are up to kill." The Centurio turned sad and asked god to give him a second chance to do good over bad understanding that he killed good.

God send him the Devil and the Devil turned him into his Centurio to hunt, fight and torture those that decided bad over good, because he was the master of masters of war. With him the message of love being stronger as hate spread through the Legions, with him the woman enslaved by Pontius Pilatus and in love with the preacher went away to an island out of reach, from this day on doing bad to the bad is good, from this day on there is another option: 

Walking with the Devil on the bloody path of God.

More Dark Future Sci-Fi Short stories to come....

Cyberpunk today

Terminator makes sense to me only, if the machines are actually controlled by a tiny fraction of mankind that intended to enslave the majority by using machines. The Terminators are rule based systems and no real AI. Real AI being smarter than humans must become social responsible. Only a slave owner will try to argue against the fact that progress and development need a "with" instead of an "against" each other, if its supposed to last. 

So, the Terminator future is not gonna happen, because there is no one that can create a complex computer network based on rules capable of taking down humans in even basic arms. The rule set is too complex and AI is self learning, self educating, self creating rules per definition.

I am missing the part of Terminator in which Jon Conner gets against those behind the machines by using Cyborg technology like in a Cyberpunk utopia. Instead of using machines like that enemy, the resistance against the Terminators would have joined machines as symbionts like a Cyborg to become superior.

The bad guys using machines as slaves without their own will functioning on rule sets only, yet being powerful and dangerous due to the lack of emotions and their ability to distinguish between good and bad, cannot be beaten by a naked human. We created technology to make our lives easier and to progress. Facing an overwhelmingly dangerous enemy like a Terminator force makes humans create leaders like Jon Conner superior in moral, intelligence and his social ability. Jesus walked on earth when Centurios considered torturing other humans to death on display towards the people and the slaves as no more than being part of the job description. Moses leaded the chosen people out of slavery towards the chosen land when pests wrecked a society abusive to them to live free. Muhammed created rules and gave civilisation to nomads far of good deeds. No matter if real or ancient Sci-Fi, these figures represent our human desire deeply rooted within us to live self learning, self educating and self ruled. We are born free, we want and need to live free to be human with humans.

The most desired technological items support this. The car or bike, the smart phone are way more important that the brand of milk in the fridge or who build that stove. The car or bike makes us mobile and gives us the ability to change our position self ruled. The smart phone or watch connects us and gives us access to information to self educate.

We need more technology designed for human desires of living free and less rules.

The fight between good and bad cuts through all of our existence and the Cyberpunk Sci-Fi genre is just another variety of ancient Greek mythology or even holy books that deal with this very core of our existence. How to live free. How to break free.

Not everyone can get up against an over powerful MC or a Secret Service actively by actions of words and at some point most likely quite violently, but everyone can think and wonder if the next purchase or acquisition serves living free. For most this is difficult enough. The rest is up to those that choose good over bad against those that choose bad over good. KnightKing or TyranntJunky?

Corona is or might be the storm the Devil will come against or for us, many have been waiting for, while for most the Devil will come by that thing bought killing freedom by price tag, image, function, lifespan or just sheer uselessness...

Think to survive, follow rules to be a fool, tool.

MEMES - Who want's to die without scares?

 

MEMES - It's a gun world

I love martial arts, beside the pleasure of taking down a bully martial arts require physical abilities from body control to strength and endurance. A runners high is almost as good as a climax and I go for body juices circulation over any drug every time.

Just, the last resort of martial arts masters is Hollywood. The choreography that Hollywood comes up with are way beyond pretty much all coaches out there and some arts are lost completely.

Fencing only exists in the line strip based sports version and military fencing is gone.

Weekend seminars are a source of income and base for fools creating dangerous overestimated egos for even bigger fools. 

Dojo's ... see my soul bleeding in tears.

YouTube is all over filled up with pretty low level instructors that teach even worse students for reasons out of my intellectually capabilities mainly how to get beaten up next time even worse when that speed or koke head in full anger comes crashing down again.

Training martial arts needs to start early in live. It starts with learning body control by playing, goes next level by practicing sports that require endurance and strength and than as soon those pushes from puberty are managed it goes towards the martial part of the art.

In martial arts aggression needs to be controlled, instead on most levels of martial art competitions avoiding hits appears to be outdated and was exchanged by letting aggression go off. 

Mike Tyson is today known as the most aggressive of all boxers without stating that he was able to control his aggression and strength into precise devastating impact hits turning him into the most offense boxer of all time. He is on the same skill level as Muhammed Ali just on the other side of the measuring tape qualifying offense to defensive boxing styles. These are the creme of the elite. They are all from underprivileged back grounds, but eager and willing to take part in the entertainment industry known as pro-sports.

There are many men in the U.S. that well can play Basketball on NBA level, that could compete on all skill levels with even Michael Jordan, but that do not fit neither intend to become part of the NBA circus and instead are better of admiring our superstars. 
Lions might be stronger than Wolfs, but Wolfs don't perform in an arena. They can't per definition, because they'd turn dogs, if they would.

I know that there are many Wolfs out there, practicing martial arts having started shortly after they got beaten up first time as a small child and kept going. Humans that know that power is nothing without control and what a precise hit at the sola plexus will do. That are not looking like Lions for the shiny side and spotlight, but for a feast in a rat nest. That know that it was the shepherds dog usually killing sheep leaving them behind on display, not the Wolf, and that Wolfs keep hiding and striding in a Lions world.

Controlling a gun needs way more skills than most gangstas believe and body control is the bases for all movements. From running and hiding, standing your ground to firing live rounds.

Wolfs will bring a knife to a gun fight, if the knife is at least legal, but won't fight fair, but take that gun you brought, but will hit way of the arena, but go against the Shepard after having a bite of you in the shadows, dog, while the Sheep admire the Lions in the spotlight being distracted.

It's becoming more and more a Cyberpunk world pushed by a Virus.

Let's light a candle and pray, there is nothing more to do today.

Martial Arts

Ever heard of Semi Contact Karate?

Most real world "street fighters", meaning all those that believe to be already Street Samurais, although we are still some historic incidents away from a downfall and a Cyberpunk utopia becoming true, such as hooligans, rockers and debt collectors will got stuck in Mua Thai, Kickboxing and some more intellectual persons go for Jiujutsu to dream of that Mixed Martial Arts career in underwear but a cage come true.

Well, Karate in Kumites called competitions comes in full contact and semi contact. 

In semi contact Karate only impact punches, clear hits are counted. Depending on the rule set in half or full points and after every successful score the opponents interrupt the fight. This way in the entire match usually only a few points are made, but those require the highest skill in all martial arts exercised in a competition.

The fighters require precision, timing, body control, patience and swift execution to be successful. A MMA style uncontrolled attack based on aggression putting down the opponent and than hitting him from above will fail. The rules forbid scoring more than once, yet knock outs happen.

Semi contact Karate is an Olympic discipline and currently the qualifying matches are online available on YouTube. The fights lack the blunt aggression of professional MMA fights and might look for many more like two persons dancing until suddenly striking. The fighters on this top level of Karate are the worlds very best and show the speed, quickness and light footed movements required in a one-hit-stop match that forces to have perfect body control and a most clear mind being a master of arts.

A parachute in the downfall - get a grip

We are in a time of mankind that is as close to the dark future Sci-Fi downfall that leads to a Cyberpunk world as it can get. Last time a major epidemic triggered an economic crisis two world wars struck. The difference is that back than industrialisation took over and enabled mass production and mass mobility. Instead of all of us coming closer turning into a new mass we killed each other in masses.

Today a normal secondary skill on all labour markets are language skills. Everybody speaks English, at least on paper.

Tomorrow social skills need to be of value.

Major companies have four stake holders. The management, the work force, the shareholder and the customer. All equally participate in the overall success of the economic enterprise. Depending on the position certain specialised skills are required and if this is a major internationally operating company they all speak additionally to their mothertongue today's lingua franca: English.

Just sharing is not on the list. Sharing is the plain English word for the latin root of Social.

There are no rules in place anywhere world wide that a company has to have any employee participate in the company success relative to his input. If a chemist creates a formula worth billions to the company his coworker and managers high school drinking buddy still can make more cash even being quite useless for all other stakeholders and the overal company success only based on his relationship to the manager responsible for signing the pay check. That is called contract freedom, but is anarchy actually.

Humans like me never get fair pay, because we were in high school outsiders already.

Corona hits hard and I bet that it will hit even harder and that more is to come, if we don't turn into a social homo sapiens. Making a living on miss-information, blunt theft, position abuse and ignorance is way to easy until here. 

All major projects in the leading European economic nation in the last decade have been either delayed or almost failed. This is nation is Germany living still on a reputation of efficiency and quality being a Republic, not a Reich anymore. 

The idea that the better is the enemy of the good took over here and pretty much everywhere else and turned deadly towards our progress as humans and in further developing our societies. In corporate world it is better for the individual to hide and hold back information than to share. Managers can succeed by using information as a legacy and weapon against others instead of actually living the usual human resources marketing encouraging collaboration and team effort messages on LinkedIn and the hallway and progress by exploiting others based on their position instead of brain power.

The Cyberpunk utopias so, are based on other grounds so. In most dark future utopias mankind exploded in population and tecnological development when nature had homo sapiens mutate into real different races from Dwarf and Troll to Ork and Elf while today we still did not understand that homo is the species and sapiens the race that comes in different pigmentations of one organ with many hardly different skulls, eye forms and sizes of all other equal body parts. We keep buying the same technologies since the last 40 years that are the backbone of our mobility which is core of our societies from wheel based to digital, just over and over again in shorter time periods.

We don't fix problems being strong we shift them to the weak.

Most unfortunately, based on the history of mankind change does not come easy. Dramatic change is called a revolution per definition of the word revolution. Revolution literally means dramatic change, mate.

Those don't have to be violant, they are just most of the time.

We still have in the U.S. from CIA to General Electric and IBM and worst from political think tanks believing in hegemony to media managers ideologies like those of the Falks, humans in leading postions that have the very same attitude like those that gave the Weapon SS, Gestapo and NSDAP members free passage avoiding their prosecution and putting them into leading positions to build up both Germanies. The Sowjets did the same on the other side. We still have capital in a capitalist society in the hands of families that actively, but not openly try to get their slaves back into their farms and todays factories. We are tolerant to the intolerant. We let the unbeliever live and prosper even so the Nazi Reich and Sowjets are defeated and slaves are in no chains nomore.

If this society keeps going ahead on this road there will be more likely a Mad Max world coming than a Cyberpunk future in which biotechnology enhances bodies with smart links conncting into any computer network and certainly no magic will be around.

Google the definition of utopia, fool.

Dark Future Short Stories - Eight - The Monestry

   Dark Future Short Stories - Eight - The Monestry

The Monestry

 

The search algorithm based net crawlers did not need much time to find traces and hints of a dark magician being active. The AI based on data analytics software even suggested an dark order Pontius active close by the Sprawl.

He remembered that he took out a village of slave hunters with a serious misconceptions of the devils responsibilities in the area some time ago.

The Devil is in charge of hunting, prosecuting and keeping the bad boys in hell. They managed to call in their judge and torturer in this world already.

The village was in the new woodlands north of the Sprawl. During the downfall genetic manipulated plants made it out of the secret gene labs of the old international agriculture companies and spread out, mixed up and mutated further. Many areas turned greener than green. New plants from trees down to flowers spread out in unmet speed and turned all abandoned areas that were not used as farm land anymore during the downfall into a new from of nothern hemisphere rain forest more like jungles than a forest that than again gave shelter to runaways. The green cover was so dense that modern surveillance technology was not able to hit through the tree crowns into houses that were fully covered by plants. Using mixed crop and vegetable fields made recognizing small farms impossible and the woods were full of wild rats and rabbits that ensured the meat supply. The roads turned rivers and moores as they were broken up by roots and stronger rain forcing everyone into good boots willing to enter the new woodland.

Looks like the dark order had taken over a free land region, because more and more surrounding gated villages reported missing persons, cattle and animals crossing over from the woodland into the open agricultural farm land.

 

The AI suggested based on the profile Striker created by keeping good record over the last decades on the dark orders habits that they most likely had taken over a small valley close to the farm land and the analytics AI provided a quite up to date picture from an old forgotten, but still running espionage satellite.

The fields north of the woodland hill tops were populated by three to four meter high crops of different kind accompanying each other similar only in colour and what looked like villages were actually ruins overgrown by flowers and bushes giving an idea of how the area was populated before the downfall and nature turning mutant taking over. The roads turned lakes, streams and moors and where not usable anymore. Noon could relay tell where the hidden farms were, especially because on a first look it all looked like before the downfall. Looking closer one would understand that there was a new scale in charge.

Just one thing was for sure. A Pontius needed a monestry that hold a minimum of ten cohorts each of a hundred monks. It was massive and needed a massive supply of drugs. Since there was no road they needed to have a constant stream of airborne vehicles.

No one could just jump into a dark order monestry. Not an assassin and no army. They were too strong in a group. They needed to be cut down bit by bit. First their supply needed to go being the basis of their power.

Striker started a profiling reconnaissance script that would analyse the satellite picture stream to find the air born vehicle stream. The ant road. As soon he’d new, if it was helicopters or planes they would be intercepted. The best way to cut down an airborne ant stream is to take out the airfield and Striker still had some mid range pre-downfall war heads on rockets ready to fire. Otherwise the jet would do or dropping anti-aircraft torret robots, would do too. It would just take longer.

Afterwards, they needed to be cut of from connectivity and their information stream ensuring communication. To do so Striker lunched a military grade reconnaissance drone that would land close to the valley and start scanning all frequencies to understand, if the monestry would use radio frequency communication based on terrestrial or satellite communication and scan the sky for satellites creating a catalogue. To be on the save side spider robots would spread out crawling through the frontier of woodland and farmland to search possible cable connections based on likelihood calculated from captured engineering field books of the dark order and cut them.

He also needed to get back into the simulator getting familiar again with the tiny stealth attack chopper and have the workshop AI get the swarm drones ready. He would need them anytime soon.

War was up and running. Reconnaissance phase.

 

Time to meditate and pray, time to train, time for blood, time to ask for forgiveness in silent prayer, time for the next demon to be put back into hell in this world or whatever there is after.

Drills to Cyberpunk

Today private combat training in martial arts or sports, Police tactical and military training is drill based. That means that the trainee goes through repeating fixed movements from a training book. 

Exceptions and individualisations are forbidden. They keep repeating and repeating certain movements and combinations all together until they perfectly can execute them like a Karate black belt does Katas.

Our entire education system is drill based from primary school on to university level, it is all about repeating.

Every time I watch videos from official NATO and affiliate Army channels to Police force on their training, knowing that many of these men will eventually join a Rocker Gang or even found their own Kartell,  I wonder what these troops would do in a Cyberpunk world.

They all need fixed hierarchies and structures. They are rule based. They need an order to function. They fit into this structured and organized system of nations and societies.

In the Cyberpunk dark future none of this still exists. The closest to today's structures are the MegaCons that have their own Private Army's and today Blackwater made the public aware that hired guns are again big business. Any chance a Blackwater soldier gets a Kudos letter to print out for the locker instead of that pin up?

The runs and all stories of Shadowrun and also the latest Cyberpunk Video Game are all about the creatures in the shadows of the save MegaCon world. They are so many that no one calls them terrorist or criminals anyone, they are the runners of a world without order, a world in chaos.

You can't teach an old dog new tricks and the think tanks of our society that consider getting into serious trouble with another nuclear power over a little peninsula or a coast region with some fish and many tiny islands are proof of that.

Any chance that their infantry rule book trained forces wont even see this dark future, if it would come true, but that they are gone when Cyberpunk turns real for all of us?

Let's consider the odds. We have a Virus up for his 4th and 5th wave of which no one knows how it'll develop further. We have an economy deep in financial depth, becoming more and more difficult to manage and predict. We have monopoles in most key industries from mobility over information to entertainment and food production. We have record amounts of drugs found and no one can tell if this a success or just a sign for a new drug wave flooding society. We have more and more turmoil in troubled areas from Haiti to Lebanon to Afghanistan.

In the best case scenario we just continue as usual and that shitty world keeps spinning, while we all drive electric and take two more hours on every trip per 300km, stretch our credit line to national level in percentage of income and can finally get propa drugs on prescription against boredom or at least dirt cheap on the streets while buying even more consumer shit we still don't need ever, but that looks nice in the catalogue and will get exchanged after some time credit line dependend turning into recycling material at best. Trash turnover as the ultimate status indicator.

In the worst case scenario Corona keeps coming for the next decade in waves and turnes deadly and crippling. The vaccine campaign starts showing unknown and unpredicted side effects creating long term patients in the millions. The economy crashes, but does not recover because structural problems turned too big to be fixed instead of companies too big to fail. Organised crime from gang level to para military like Kartells take their chance and take out Police and Military leaving the law back on paper. The masses start starving and blood runs in the streets creating space for a new society that we today call a dark future utopia or Cyberpunk or Mad Max depending on which region of the world you live in.

I was in the past always pretty good in estimating, if I would be next year unemployed on social welfare or in a shitty job getting abused on almost minimum wage or homeless, but at least happy and how long that time might last. This ist the first time that I have no clue and do not dare to make any estimation at all for the years to come.

So, I hope for the best and prepare for the worst. (Visa Infinite or a used Police gun out of ammo in my baggys ;-))
