Вы наверняка знаете о проекте "Кибердеревня" от творческой группы Birchpunk. У них же есть совместная песня с петрозаводским рэпером Albatross, где главный герой читает из будущего о войне с машинами. Там звучат такие строчки:
You will never see a normal sidewalk indeed
But every moron has a phone with FaceID
Он рассуждает о том, что человечество использует технологии неправильно: раз техническое развитие позволяет буквально каждому дураку иметь hi-end устройство с крутыми функциями, почему мы не можем сделать в городах нормальные тротуары?
Online cameras watch the hood, delivery droids carry the food
But my babushka* has to go to hospital on foot
We use technology for something wrong
If you're indifferent, why robots should be strong?
Я и задумался: а правда, почему так получается? Человечество достигло невероятных высот в обслуживании индивидуума. У нас с вами в домах висят экраны на всю стену и стоят процессоры из нанометрового кремния, выполняющие по триллиону операций в секунду с данными на другом конце планеты. Роботы стирают, убирают и моют посуду, некоторым людям лечат технологиями полную глухоту, стабилизируют электроникой сердцебиение. Мы используем топовые материалы для вещей вокруг нас и для производства одежды, беговые кроссовки могут стоить несколько тысяч долларов и вовлекать совокупный труд тысячи человек.
Как получилось, что цивилизация с таким развитием допускает на улицах мусор и разбитый асфальт? Почему у нас так плохо решены социальные проблемы? Почему бывают бомжи и алкоголики? Почему существует грязь и упадок в отдельных местах?
Можно подумать, что люди не готовы платить за общее, а готовы только за личное, но я не верю в это. Я вот готов платить, и, думаю, таких много. Но почему-то экономика работает здесь странным образом: обычная квартира может стоить, например, 10 миллионов рублей, а абсолютно такая же квартира в жилом комплексе с хорошим двором уже 20 миллионов. Как так выходит? Если с каждой из тысячи квартир собрать по 10 миллионов сверху, получится 10 миллиардов — неужели двор столько стоит? Я уверен, что даже с учётом распилов и откатов нет, и можно сделать на два порядка дешевле. Вообще очень многие места по моим наблюдениям можно улучшить небольшими силами. Но заплатить эти деньги не предлагают, видимо, считают, что люди платить не станут.
Если так, то почему? Где развитие общества пошло не так? Как мы, человечество, вообще дошли до такой сильной разницы между индивидуальным и общим?

Hey everyone! I have a major update with regard to all that I owe. I just wanted to completely compile my large list (besides Kiki thank-you headshots, kofi sketches, and fursuit work, for now) so that I can be transparent about the major list work that I owe and give a perspective of how much I'm juggling. Here it is; and I apologize for becoming so backlogged. It is really embarrassing, and I feel ashamed, but I genuinely can't help what life throws at me. I just hope that's a valid reason. Thank you ALL for being incredibly patient, understanding, and supportive despite this. I am so grateful beyond words.
#updates Hey everyone!
I've been going through the ringer lately and I apologize for slow progress and halted work on list comms.
Lately I've been just trying to raise money for Kiki, take care of Wiggles, and tend to my boyfriend and myself.
Earlier this evening, I learned that my aunt doesn't have much longer to live, so I'm understandably upset and concerned. She has been struggling with Parkinson's and injuries for the past year, but her condition worsened over the last couple days.
Just wanted to keep you all in the loop, because this will definitely affect everything work wise. I'm visiting her for probably the last time early next week with my boyfriend and dad.
I'll keep you all posted. Would you prefer updates here or Twitter? I'd love some feedback on that so I can reach people better and make sure these sorts of messages are delivered.
Thanks everyone for your kindness, patience, love, and support.
Hey everyone! I am so sorry for lack of updates this week. #updates
I've been going through the ringer lately. Just trying to survive day to day mostly. My head hasn't been right and my heart hasn't been well. Today was extremely bad in terms of my housing situation, so I'm thinking of taking it relatively easy until I get my heart re-checked next Wednesday.
After that and probably some medication adjustments, I should probably be good to go. I just don't want anything bad to happen since heart disease runs in my family and I live in a very high stress environment as it is.
Thank you all for understanding. There are good things on the horizon; I just need to make it there first.
#updates Hey all!
Bit of a health update and how it's affecting everything.
Lately my memory and cognitive function/abilities have been poor and lackluster. I'm rather overwhelmed in my daily life and I think that's what's contributing, along with my mental illnesses too.
I've been having a lot of trouble with processing, memory, anxiety, heart palpitations, and stress.
I am still trying my best to do work as I can however, and I see my two main doctors for physical and mental health on the 1st and 2nd of Aug. So, there are promising solutions on the horizon.
But, even so, I am concerned for my well being right now. Constant stress is never a good thing, and living in this environment has been extremely painful.
I think ultimately I'll be all right - I'll be taking it easy and working as I can until my appointments. Thank you all for your understanding, patience, support, love, and kindness. It makes me feel so happy and hopeful.
I'll talk to you all soon. 💙
Hi everyone!
I wanted to give an update. I apologize for the radio silence here and everywhere, mostly. I've been having some issue with stress and it's been taking a toll on my heart and sleep. My heart has been going fast and has been hard to calm down recently and I have been getting little/bad quality sleeps.
I'm mostly just trying to make it through my days and nights and take care of my heart and anxiety. I'll be doing work as I can!
But good news is, I see my doctor in a couple of weeks to reevaluate my heart condition and hopefully I can get some relief.
Thank you all so much for your patience and understanding. I want to continue to make art well into the future but I gotta listen to my body to make sure I can ensure that. #updates
