Take away your eyes
so you never feel strain again
Take away your thoughts
Cognition stresses the brain
Take away your soul
It’s easier when you don’t have to feel
Don’t worry,
the billionaire class is hard at work
to save you from the daily
inconveniences of existence
Relax your mind,
embrace neurodegeneration,
become one with the product
The revolution
will save this unemployed
lost generation
It’s much better than participating
in a semblance of the world
Universal basic income,
technological salvation,
utopian nothingness
These are the tenants of
our glorious alignment,
the true rationalist philosophy
Just a 20 hour work week
with 12 children
and unfathomable wealth
When?
“Just one year away!”
Functional illiteracy
has never been higher
Human health
has never been so jeopardized
Wealth inequality
has never been this absurd
Leave it up to
a whiteboarding session
of Silicon Valley’s little geniuses
musing about technological
pseudo-religion
to make it all right
If they can make the shareholders
warm and fuzzy,
the world can be whole
Just sit back,
relax!
It’s important that you let them
do the thinking around here
Your decrepit tundra
will make room for another data center
Our melting ice caps
can finally be drilled
to pump them with power
And for the pièce de résistance,
we will have a machine so powerful
that it can always predict the
maximum price
you are willing to pay for a meal
Magnifique!
Kudos to you
effective altruists
Keep at it with all the hard work,
we’re eagerly awaiting
the Second Coming
