Post-Humanity future and the breach of wealth inequality seedling
I’ve been thinking abut the future of misery.
Everyone talks about the super utopy and post-ai wealth and some even point to a Universal Income that is not working even on the best societies and I am sure will not come for anyone outside of Europe and will end before 2050. The only “universal” income that exists and will exist will be inheritance and the interest it creates. For the top 0.1% the utopy is real.
Royal families, top oil magnates and the lucky ones that can move their cards efficiently will live the interplanetarian future and maybe become hybrid cyborgs with 190+ years of life expectancy.
Good for them.
Now I want to talk about the future of misery.
Because is the part that is unavoidable and maybe I would love to suavisize/sweeten and romanticize it on a novel like Farenheit 451. But I don’t have enough writing experience to create a world like that.
I will talk about the world we live in and how it has always been and the “utopia” we live on today was worse and can get a lot worse.
There is a saying that prostitution is the oldest job. What would be the oldest job for men? Security guards and hunting (sicarios). This has its roots on the needs and behavior of the ancient apes and prostitution is seen on both genres but mostly men offer defense and attack services. Some armies have women between them and have been very succesful, but I will focus on men for security and women for prostitution services.
This will get employed most people in the future and will still be the way to leave misery.
But I want to talk about something darker.
I noticed that the 0.1% utopia of 190+ years of life expectancy can only happen extracting the organs and blood from the young misery children. So, when the unequality breach is huge enough, that will bite some families. It is starting to happen in Asia and soon will come to the western world. I don’t think we are too far from there, think about all the soldiers which never come home on one piece. their blood and organs may be useful for another body. One that can pay for it of course.
A perfect square war business.
Congrats to Ukraine and Iran top gas polititians for opening the 2020s war businesses.
In Mexico the thing is not better. We have narco wars that are glorified everywhere except for most of the middle-class which understood the behavior of their business. And this is good for the 0.1%, mostly for the ones that now live in the USA, where the drugs have been drawning people in a new kind of misery, one that now lives in sewer tunnels and has to get to the oldest job to keep themselves alive.
The narco, and, honestly, any millionaire, is not your friend, you are just organs and blood for them. They will clap for you even louder if you are healthy because they want more of you. Carne de cañón.
I lived in Monterrey for some years, where the pollution is so bad that even when some millionaires are from there, they and their families don’t live there anymore. But their nasty polluting businesses are still there, sickening the population and eliminating every chance of a middle-class person to get ever reach them.
Now I live in the outer side of Mexico city, close to the new airport. Everything is cheap here and there low unequality because everyone is poor here. The unequality is not as it is on Monterrey center or Polanco/Santa Fe, where you can see who works for who just by their house fachada.
Most people work outside the town, so you can see traffic and trains coming in and out full in peak hours. I swim after my work hours and I see everyone coming back at 7:30PM, when most jobs end at 5:30PM. Meaning that they work between 1.5 to 2 hours far from the town. To keep feeding them. Doesn’t matter where you live, you will have to feed them in a way or another, destiny will reach you and your family.
This is the first article I am publishing here in my garden. I will try to write a full world when I can get more information, I have some friends that are screenwiters and have plenty of histories about this, if you are one please comment here or send me a message on my personal socail media, I would love to bring this out of my brain for your amusement.
