No. No peace for you, only being hunted by autonomous drones. Now please kindly start running so we can test our latest movement prediction algorithms. You may feel a small pinch as the drone catches you, but don’t worry, it’ll soon be over.
I feel like the nightmares I started having several years ago are starting to become real.
People said I was having psychosis but no, I was looking into the future and seeing the most likely conclusion of the road the world is going down if we don’t change course.
It’s not like I saw it in a crystal ball or anything like that. Just basic sequential cause-and-effect. But people would rather blindly step off a cliff because “well we haven’t plunged to our demise yet, so clearly it must be safe to continue without adjustment.”
Fuck it, string me up on a cross then. If it means enduring world peace, sufficient climate action, and ecological restoration. Oh and also restorative justice, an end to poverty and hunger, and universal healthcare and education. Worldwide of course. Forever.
I will however require binding and actionable guarantees first. Once the paperwork is in order I shall meet you in Gethsemane. Or shall we skip straight to Golgotha?
This is likely the most brilliant comment I will read today, or any time soon. I’d punch out for any one of those things. Even for a solid chance, no guarantees needed.
Yeah, I thought about settling for less. Maybe one or two things. But then I thought “wait a minute, if I die then I can’t keep fighting for the rest. If I live I can fight on for a few more decades, maybe make a bigger difference.”
Maybe dying would be quicker and easier than living to fight for a better world, but knowing the snakes who would be doing the crucifying, if you leave them any room to wiggle out of their end of the bargain they’ll be shredding the contract before you’re done gasping out your last breaths.
So don’t sell yourself short! You’re worth everything, or no deal.
Can we just have world peace instead?

What are you willing to give for that?
A few world leaders like Putin
Would anything I offer be enough?
If you dedicate your life to it, it could be.

No skipping, no quick solution. World peace may take the rest of your life and there is no guarantee.
Yes and the odds are stacked against it at that
