The keepers of humans have announced the choice some time back, living in cubicles hooked to the internet as living hard drives eating manufactured chitin (the popular choice), or plant gardens and trees.
Interesting. My viewpoint is still to couch current totalitarianism as what it is - psychopathic Fascism driven by deep cultural forces which have kept us imprisoned for a very long time. We have had a few short bursts of hope through history but they never lasted. From the American Revolution, through to the few things that shone through in the 1960’s amidst the terror and assassinations, to the state-staged terror of 9/11, to the engineered attempt to take control represented by the Covid pandemic/vaccine hoax and subsequent genocide. Then events like the Civil War - presented as anti-slavery while anything but. The federal government won, super industrialization was championed ad progress, and highly dangerous and super insecure humans were chosen as the leaders. This continues into the present. The trap has been well sprung and we are the trapped. There are ways out but they are few and difficult.
I argue for free will though will is largely determined. Freedom first. A fist can punch or pound a table. My making of a fist does not determine result.
All it would require is what the Donbass discovered. Help from a more powerful entity uninterested in formal annexation but glad to offer limited help while your new country bleeds to death.
The men who enact and enforced law are corrupt. Some more than others. Just Us is a slow legal process unless used against someone with limited defenses. I knew as a kid JFK, RFK, MLK were murdered and Pearl Harbor a set up and England perfidious. I started my own country of one. Then married. Then civil war and separation. Later refusal of income tax for 15 years living hand to mouth. There Ain't No Justice in this land.

That was great, thank you for posting it!

Quantum indeterminacy. :)

Treason doth never prosper and what's the reason? If it prosper none dare call it treason.
