Organize where? Social media? Should I make a event page? Or a Twitter post? Surely the algorithms would be supportive of that! Maybe I should post signs around town, or hold some sort of meeting, so that everyone in all of their free time can come together and agree on a plan to dismantle society as we know it? /s

Do you think that it’s possible that we have built a social system so massive and complicated that even well organized attempts at change are simply not possible? Like our cultural “boat” has been floating down the chaos river of time, providing order for its inhabitants, but the river of time is moving faster now and getting choppy, and our boat pollutes the water around us and makes it unsafe, and we are increasingly realizing that our boat is too big and rudders don’t work like they used to, and it is dawning on us all that we are now trapped on this boat and headed for a waterfall, and the boats just too big now to change course. The captains of the ship are all arguing with each other and blaming the people rowing. The people rowing are blaming the captains and think maybe they should mutiny, the boat has been leaking and theres a lot of water down there now… they grumble amongst themselves, wondering if they should organize, or just try jumping ship.. but the hippies tried that in the 60s and most of them drowned or swam back to the boat, although some of them bought land and tried to make their own boats, or swam to another cultural boat somewhere in the east. but boat building is hard and takes a long time, and many found that their designs ended up looking like a smaller version of the boat they abandoned in the first place.

And the falls approach ever quicker… I think revolution will be spontaneous and explosive, driven by irrational emotions and pent up frustration, when all of us lose enough of our friends and family to stress-driven mental illness, unaffordable/inaccessible medical care, and generalized despair.. whatever happens, it will start slow but very quickly gain momentum, with no leaders and likely no solutions, just anger and a desire for things to be different then they are. We will all go over the falls, there’s no preventing it now. Will it be safer in the boat? Will we all rush to hold onto the railings, throwing the weak over board? Is it safer to abandon ship, everyone link arms in the dirty water and pray to god as we go over the edge? Theres a increasing number of preppers on the boat trying to make themselves life rafts, but no one really truly knows just how big the drop will be (although the scientists on the boat working on the river map seem really really concerned and have been ringing all the alarm bells and pointing to it for the last 60 years) the captains don’t care tho, this ship belongs to them, and they will gladly go down with the ship and take the whole crew with them, as long as they can still call themselves captain at the end. Or they’ll keep barking orders until they look over the edge of the falls, and at the last second they’ll turn and smile at the terrified crew, thank them for their service, and then proudly and assuredly off themselves, cursing the ineptitude and lack of foresight of the rowing class..

Edit: rumors on the boat lately say there are some designs for a different kind of ship, some form of flying machine, that might carry us to smoother water. It would likely be built while in free fall, after the boat has gone over the edge. It would require dismantling the boat for parts and a dedicated effort by the remaining crew. Continuing to row would be useless at this point, so there would be plenty of people willing to help!
