Sent a piece of the past to the future. @JamieVernon, look out for a package arriving May 20th. I wrote about DNA-coded value in 2016 in #OxfordBags. Joe’s recent CBDC talks are exactly the world I built 10 years ago. #JRE#SocialCredit
Global debt hits $348T. We are in an interest trap. In 2016, my character Frank warned: "Debt was made up in the first place! Just like value is now. It’s got to stop." Ready for the #EmptyPocketRevolution yet? Link: https://t.co/hUpBty7hbe
2026: Canada backs biometric identity tracking. I predicted this 10 years ago: "They can communicate with your DNA, man! Anything you read, anywhere you go, is inside you." It’s not fiction anymore. Link: https://t.co/w11BDxq7kJ
Wealth gaps hit historic highs in 2026. In 2016, I wrote: "Low value citizens had less to do with capability and more to do with the number of Top value status distributed." The system is working exactly as I feared. Link: https://t.co/WT6jS2GUAn
2026: EU bans digital rouble. My 2016 novel #OxfordBags predicted this: "Money used to be outside oneself... now that value has been transferred to us, inside of us." If the govt sanctions your digital ID, they deactivate you. Link: https://t.co/LUlMJLOSG1
Over fifteen hundred people had been caught trying to break into the US Consolidated Prison Facility in the last month and the article claimed that the national crime rate had gone up mainly due to desperate low-value citizens trying to have themselves thrown in the jail.
I'm Not Complaining:
https://t.co/PrdeKJFdLS
As summer looms closer,
Along with my last breath,
Like so many other middle-class men,
I am grappling with death,
When I should be telling myself instead,
'You are not middle class',
Maybe your parents clawed their way to it,
Why A.I. Should Be Regulated:
https://t.co/XviT5TQTlS
Let's talk about A.I.,
It is not writing this,
Or has it read ev'ry one of my Waths,
And said, 'they'll think it's his"?
No, I am not going to get meta,
I have too much to say,
The question is could it follow my thought
Control Your Loved Ones:
https://t.co/4UVYo33B9m
What's making you upset,
About where your life's at,
The loneliness from loved ones who decide,
They will unhang their hat,
Walk out the door and explore a new road,
That will not pass by you,
Should not be channelled at tho
You Can Live Forever:
https://t.co/5HHG4adINS
As we all get older,
Like in the last second,
Not the one that you passed before you read this,
The one 'round the next bend,
Which if we always keep it in its place,
Will, yes, never arrive,
I tell you it is as easy as that,
Game Two:
https://t.co/8mOkOa5VaG
It has been quite a day,
And the days in between,
Sometimes I wonder if a normal life's,
Anything someone's seen,
Or if it's worth it even having one,
Given the time we've got,
Think of those you know having a good time,
I bet you'd trade
They're Not Listening!:
https://t.co/1rCBxeufKZ
Who the hell uses Edge,
Mine just had to restart,
Just as I began this Wath, about it.
Maybe it has a heart,
Along with the brain that is running Bing,
Though I've seen no smarts, yet,
Either A.I.'s merely a fantasy,
'r'inte
Existential Despair:
https://t.co/CKCCKw6UyQ
If you are in despair,
Like, existentially,
Questioning your own value, as human,
Or p'haps humanity's,
Do not despair, you're not the only one,
I mean do, but do not,
Pick any person you see, rich or poor,
Such feelings are, h
This Wath's a Simulation:
https://t.co/x9m8pdrcd1
I've yet to read Bostrom ,
If he really exists,
If we're all computer simulations,
My library hold's mist,
Rather could be made up of the same things,
Pesky ones and zeros,
Really not that diff'rent than most theories,
Whe
A Tale of Two Curtain Rods:
https://t.co/4Mv9CevctV
There was this curtain rod,
Well, to be honest, two,
We made sure of all the measurements twice, Put one up tried and true,
Three brackets securely installed level,
Finial on one end,
Next was rod number two to mirror it,
It's All Good!:
https://t.co/HwnDdSY91W
No positivity,
Could match my own outlook,
Despite the feelings all these Waths might give,
To those who take a look,
Sure the world's trajectory is not good,
Well, there I go again,
Does man's trend tow'rds destruction say something
Slow It Down:
https://t.co/CLRWsnqUP4
What's the point of all this?
I don't mean what you think,
I knew long ago the secret of life,
And trust me, brah, it stinks,
You don't want to know what there is to know,
Try to read books, instead,
At least they'll pretend that there
Here's What To Do:
https://t.co/RJuBQ4MkgF
There are paths not taken,
Each moment of your life,
More than you could count in a thousand years,
Though's a choice you may like,
For what do we have to know which is right?
Don't tell me it's a book,
Written by someone with the
Life's Ups and Downs:
https://t.co/mJNLso0dVj
You might be going up,
Like a mutual fund,
Each day you have a little dip downward,
Causing you confusion,
If you step back to see the big picture,
The line is positive,
But life is experience of each moment,
So every downward
