This hurt my brain a bit; it's such an alien way for me to imagine the futures. But it did make clear a point I try to emphasize: capital and the state need each other. They sometimes seem opposed, but they couldn't do without the other.

The state has also existed longer than capital; I'm not sure if it will outlast it. Most likely it will. But resistance to both the state and capital is always possible, and already emerging. I put my stock in human creativity and connectedness over any of the systems under which we live today.

A sensible piece. I recently also thought about where is the safest to be if WWIII broke out. One option: actually join the military - at least that way you know the actual dangers and confront them head on.
