A Humble Request

I never voted, anyhow supported, never trusted
Those who rule now
Yet I am claimed responsible
Over the deeds of people I never trusted
And my name is not Josef K.
In the light of the absurdity of what’s happening, 
The catastrophe of the rational and the triumphs of the irrational
I have a humble request
To masterminds that manage 
The great impersonal AI 
Keep the dystopian novels away from it.
For if you let the AI read those books
It can use them as direct instructions
To set the fairiest society on earth
Exactly like you’re doing now
Without AI support, all by yourselves 
But with the help of AI
The multiplication of entities will increase, 
and Occam's Razor will be a network of hairdressers.
Reduction to the absurd will be norm
Argumentum ad hominem will be considered as the proof of decency
As it actually happens now, but a written law will state it. 
City of the Sun will replace the Bible.
There will be no more art, for art will be deemed as a loophole
For those who shirk control over the control of those who control.
The list of forbidden thoughts will be updated daily.
It is my duty to warn.  
The rest is entirely at your disposal.
Thank you.

Thankful that God is in control. He lets us humans play out this strategic tragedy. He’s already won so it is laughable. Peace, joy and love found in Christ. Great write! One to ponder and digest!
