Which one and what will come next after another dark age or neo-norman invasion or another great vowel shift?

In the days of Moses, a stone and a stick were enough to summon water from rock. Today we’ve upgraded to a multinational opera.First, summon virgin crude from distant seabeds via a petrochemical cartel, escorted by a floating armada of tankers whose GPS is brought to you by a beverage conglomerate. That crude becomes pellets in a humming factory where algorithms trade resin futures in microseconds—because how else would the market know you’re thirsty?Those pellets are molded into bottles at a plant powered by a continental grid that keeps idle nuclear reactors online to handle “thirst drop” spikes from influencers. After all, more plastic demands more energy, and stable baseload demands fission’s polite blue glow—solving global warming one cooling tower at a time.The bottles are then dressed in shrink-wrap printed with pigments whose hex codes were A/B tested by a global design agency. The minerals for those pigments traveled on electric trucks charged by offshore wind farms that trade carbon credits with artisanal cow pastures.Next comes the pressurized CO₂—captured industrial emissions that both cause and fund the warming they’re blamed for—infused into the bottles with fizzy existential dread. Each bubble carries the brand motto and a hint of guilt.The logistical ballet begins: refrigerated pallets cross seven borders, directed by an app whose push notifications are themselves monetized. Then the advertising-industrial complex swings into action. Marine biologists are hired to front “Love the Ocean” campaigns while billboards show dolphins joyfully popping bottle caps. Viral ads teach you how to stage perfect unboxings on beaches littered with photogenic plastic—because if you didn’t film the condensation bead tracing the logo, how would you even know how to hydrate properly?

Psychologists on retainer engineer artificial scarcity (“Only 2,000 cans infused with real Arctic mist!”) so demand stays ahead of supply, justifying another polymer plant.Finally, the ocean currents gather the empties into branded floating islands that become sponsored eco-tourism destinations. The PR department calls it “circularity.” The balance sheet calls it margin.All this to turn a stick-and-stone miracle into carbonated sugar water.

Moses probably would have been fine parting a little less sea—if only he’d known about seasonal syrup drops and a two-for-one coupon code.

Ps. I helped myself a little with computer robot assistant cos global problems need big data assistants to grasp them well...if thats possible...

Its more then brain. Its survival. Both as species and human tribes and culture (which can trancend tribe).

So its highest value on several levels of analisis.

While values are competitive in themselves, some can be more viable short term(army/commerce/war) other more viable long term(religion/stoicism/science)

Sometimes if you dont survive short term phisically you dont get to survive long term as idea, but martyrs are exception even to that rule...

So... its a messs/chaos/universe...

Can ai transcend it? No, but advertisements will try to trick you that it can. Ai is high tech cheating as one phisics professor said it.

I wanted to share not politically, but antropologically a perspective here, that does not fall in simple abstract typical polarised discourse, but shows how certain views are just untannble in certain context and how historical and geopolitical pressures can force to sober outlook at the world, while at the same time the same ancient pattern between conservative rigidity and untamed premissivness comes at play.

Why people arent creative?

Well... bad insentives institutionally and natural innertia that it is hard and requires many failures and available goodies off shelf are a cosmos easier to reach for and delight in.While Society hammers you down into comformity each moment of your existance.

Jordan peterson discusses creativity and art and its less glamourous dimensions. However he gives its dues to its vital sagnificant importance in society and civilisation.

Question: are you creative?

What did you pay be creative?

Or are you just reproducing safe, danger free forms and patterns that does not offend anyone, cos that doesnt fully count.
