Missing Coordinates

Let us just for argument sake a moment contemplate or imagine ? Something is amiss with the world ? Not that it is flat still round more like missing ? Maybe flight MH-50 accidentally came across ? Like it not appearing on radar or has been wipped from off the global map erased and hidden to the enquiring eye ? Say 2 missing continent or island we have been lead to believe or view as nothing more than uncharted ocean ? 1 which was rather in fact a parallel universe or testing ground for social experimentation ? Researching the consequences and effects of such thing's as political upheaval , viral outbreaks and extraterrestrial visitation would have on the human psychy in the end of worst case scenario armageddon or the apocalypse was ever to occur ? And the 2nd an island paradise where they can start again and still remain and stay in power, protect and keep their wealth in tact ? Beside the vaccine and cure to every known human disease and alternative green abundant fuel source and neither a jail nor policeman on it ? A paradise heaven on earth where no 1 gets sick and everyone's gets along and thinks alike That is still not enough and before long begins a race between former acolytes To see who can make it back 1st to plant his flag in the smoldering ashes In order so he in fact can profess to take his rightful true place as the new Messiah the 2nd coming of Christ

Another great thought provoking write and not far from the reality we already live in, I could draw parallels between 1st 2nd and 3rd world continents on this planet, indeed the advent of the next revolution in AI is approaching and I think it’s inevitable enhanced human hybrids are destined to evolve and rule over where we failed only to fail like us, cheers David
