    In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.
    The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.

    But you probably won't. You'll be complacent and let it slide. You'll go back for yet another crappy cup of coffee. How many times have you gone back? And you wonder why they are still in business?

    You showed the hand, I merely acknowledged the betrayal.

    Ugh. No, I made a general comment, and you revealed its greater relevance. And fuck off with "betrayal", if you insist on being a dumb shit at least be amusing about it.

    ???

    The remark seemed generic to me. Amusing too, but typical Nessieburn response to your complaining. Nothing that indicated any form of 'inside knowledge'.

    I'm only playing at melodrama. Geeze. If I was at all serious I'd PM you. Bitch.

    I do! I recall explaining that but I don't recall what thread it was.

    The Fish of Firefights.

    EDIT: Found it:

    It comes from a story I heard about why monkeys don't make good pets. You put a monkey in a cage and all it has to do all day is think about how to get out, and because its smart and its got hands, it will always cause you mayhem. Now, when I was surpervising hourly employees I had way more people than work, which means they had a lot of time on their hands, which means they were bored and had to find ways to entertain themselves. They were very much like monkeys in a cage and they were always causing mayhem. That experience became a lesson on the nature of life. Its really a metaphor for civilization. We're all monkeys in a cage my friend and there's no way out, so the result is mayhem. Why do you think people, society, everything is so fucked up? Monkeys in a cage.
    (I love how I used mayhem here and above. That was unplanned but excellant, as are all the best things in life.)
