Emotionally Unstable Roger

Imagine if we had already received absolutely accurate information that the worst thing we could imagine for the world would inevitably happen. There will be no salvation. But we still have time to prepare.

How do we face this future?

Will we be able to keep the utopian vision of a post-apocalyptic future in our minds?

The seas will rise, great economic empires will fall, the guarantors of our security will betray us, the richest capitals of major states will turn into port cities inhabited by former office plankton, and now - robbers, adventurists, port whores of all stripes. Without family, without home, without citizenship. From now on, we will only rely on ourselves and build our institutions anew.

All we’ll have is an ark assembled from garbage and technology serving our emotional attachments.

This job is a call to build such an ark.

As naive dreamers, we still refuse to believe in the cynical nature of human relations. We already fear to believe in the protective role of large institutions, but we continue to believe in the best in us.

From now on there is no History. There is only a Great Adventure that we live through the Game.
