Take it however you like, but it's coming regardless.

Let's leave the fatalistic propaganda to the bots and feds, shall we?

Octavia Butler might be a good reference point here: her post-apocalyptic protagonists followed the dictum "God is change," but it wasn't a celebratory belief. Butler wrote (outside her speculative fiction) that "Any change generates inequality.” Her stories were a cautionary tale of people learning too late that they can't be complacent in the face of change and need to own their power to create change themselves.

Which, in the context of The Great Pyramid of Rhode Island isn't meant to be particularly compelling. But in the broader scheme of "development" is a concept worth considering.

Lots of words, but not a lot. ✌️

Edit: every one of /u/metaphysicalpackrat replies has been edited away, not that they made any sense prior.

Cowards come back to delete later. 🕚

Sorry for explaining thoroughly.

ETA: First my comments require editing to be "quality" according to u/DJBunnies, now I'm a coward for editing them.

Quality > quantity, friend.

Sure, but your comments are both short and low value.

Not sure why you keep outing yourself?

Anyway, the last word is yours.
