The family or the government?


Is the family still at the very core of being human?

The romance of the future is "the family" not "the government"; and yet, these times are being dominated by the latter not the former [see photo]. Indeed if the future is "the government" [as it is in these times] we are assuredly headed for a world dominated by Artificial Intelligence because automated government is the only outcome that makes dramatic sense. Who will deliberately choose the family fantasy over the AI narrative?


We have entered a prism wherein "the family" is the adversary of "the government". How, and why, the world reached this point is a mystery to me. But this is where we have landed. And yet there are many contradictions in this simple proposition because the poster child for the government narrative is a CCP led China which can only coalesce because at the core of its being the family survives and thrives. Perhaps this is the reason that China shines brightly as an example of the two futures that are within our grasp. The CCP-led government dominates the Chinese people who live within, and through, their family connections. Thus it seems rational, and reasonable, to hold the opinion that the CCP is evil and the Chinese people are angelic.


Will we choose the government [masks, lockdowns, mandated vaccinations, etc] as our guiding star into a future that promises automation, obedience, compliance, and sameness. If we do make that choice the family future will be expunged. This is a pathway towards the extinction of human life as we have known it on this planet. Without the family future ahead the magic of rainbows in life will be diluted and dulled to an extent that they no longer give us the pleasures of unbounded joy and expectation. In the government future all aspects of life will be bounded, sanitised, and mathematically programmed.


Do you have a family? Will you form a family in the near-term future? Do you plan to live your future like through the prism of the family or through the dictates of the government?
