This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Capitalism is a rabid dog, that only managed to serve the middle class well in the past because it was kept muzzled and on a tight leash.

Successive, and successful attempts to ‘unleash the beast’ have left us bit, and apologies for mixing metaphors here, but there is probably no way left, to get the genie back into the bottle:

Undoing 50+ years of damage would take time, especially when faced with resistance from those that stand to benefit most from the current broken system (think the Top 1% of the 1%), and that is time that we simply do not seem to have.

Dude I'm afraid this is just going to lead to the end of the world.

For what it’s worth; the world will survive and adapt. Whether that means the extinction of humanity, is a whole separate matter altogether.

Our species entire existence is a mere blip compared to dinosaurs for an example.

Well, actually, our descendants will survive and adapt to the new Middle Ages when civilization collapses along with AI.
