An unknown caller rings Dom and a strong alto-esque voice emerges from the phone. “Hello, is this Dominiq Tesfah?” “Speaking?...”

Fire in the Mist
Rain pelted the sea of smokey slated landscape of parts from a bygone era. Heaths of appliances to what once held actual sustenance; scavenged quantum cyborgs discarded by their more evolved successors; a city populated by garbage and the air annexed by the pungent lithium sulfur. By this time though, Max was already used to it. Your lungs become accustomed to the burning sensation in your chest that the sparse P22 masks can barely filter. Your skin varies depending on your exposure from hard and scaly to gaping worn pores from irritation. Very rarely one will come across a pristine human. Max met a human only once and they were from another colony on the neighbouring planet visiting to tour salvage sites across the planet. Making adverts for their colony stating that this planet was to be used as a recycling facility and that the people that worked here are patrons of planet Aurea. Their colony left ours over three centuries ago, promised to come back for them only never to be seen again… Until they came back to use their planet as a dumpster. Max’s late husband had only been to the Aurean colony once to make a delivery under the dull overseer, Ram Ake, whom was only appointed after a coup by a betraying opposition. Max’s husband, Nojah returned back from his trip, ‘It’s polished shit.’ he told Max matter-of-factly.

What's the future holding on for all of us?
There's a bit of taboo around LinkedIn or at least, that's how I find it, regarding the content that it's being posted or shared or even written, even though the people who stop themselves from posting it, might be in agreement with the content itself. I find myself in this category of people who fear to not wreck their so called "professional reputation" because of their beliefs or because of something they read they think it's interesting to be known or shared or at least to have a thought about it with the community from which they're a part of. But I guess, people are refractory to change and this won't change. But, I do think, just like I believe that, if you can afford to buy an electric car, you should, simply to influence others to do it, and in this way, you can help shape the society and the future for all humanity; I think, what I am about to write now and share, it's important and it can help us all progress in the new society that's being shaped and sharpened for all of us, and it's just around the corner of the coming 2021.

Do You Sometimes Feel As If You Are A Reincarnation?
In a conversation with someone about life and death, he said, “when a good heart dies, the goodness of their soul is reborn in someone else, allowing kindness and love to continue growing and saving our world from some level of cruelty.”

Prunus Persica
I am with a friend, helping them illegally hack nto a handful of pirated digital storage devices. We need to gain more data, speed and power; mostly for the sense of enjoyment, relaxation, and especially freedom. At very least, perhaps some pleasant music; some more time…

How AI Art Has Fueled My Human Creativity

Your Brain Is Gone
"We needed a special license for everything on Earth. We needed one for driving, for cooking, for massaging, and eventually for thinking. We were plugged into big MetaVR Programs most of our lives that used our thoughts and imaginations, and we had to take tests to prove we could use them for ourselves and ended up hiding, and paying for the progress of human beings with our life energy."

String Theory - The Theory Of Everything
Where do we come from and where does the world come from? What is the world made of? We are privileged to live in an age where we have come close enough to some of the answers. String theory is our latest attempt to answer the last of these questions - the "Theory of Everything".

Simulationist Church Members Contact Me in Mexico
I thought I had left all of this simulation hypothesis and Simulationist church crap behind me when I left my former home to move to Baja, California, Mexico some six months ago now. In retrospect it was probably naïve to think the church would completely forget about me, especially considering how much closer I would now be geographically to their main modern day stronghold, silicon valley in the state of California. From my new home just south of Tijuana it is only about 8ookm and a roughly 8.5h drive (depending on traffic) to make it to the valley of doom as I call it. Those who know me and my writings know that I am no fan of silicon valley and in fact have delivered many a verbal beating to a place populated by some of the worlds worst people doing some of the worlds most useless and wasteful things. Of course, it is also home to some of its best people doing the exact opposite of that. Unfortunately the former outweigh the later by a large margin which seems to grow larger every year.

Apocalypse Culture (1988)
"Pod People aspire to a manicured destiny--soft, serene, controlled, filtering any information that does not impinge on their pre-fab gestalt. Their retreat from reality is tempered with enough minor but manageable worries and decisions to negotiate boredom and furnish the mirage of individual mastery. These narcoleptics find sublimity in a jar o mayonnaise. As a consequence of the atrophy of the survival instinct, the Pod People can only breed monsters. The disenfranchised offspring, along with an entire ageless class of human discards, know only that they are doomed."--Adam Parfrey, Apocalypse Culture, (1988)
