_FUTURE SHOCK ABSORBERS_

-Imagine Experiments putting monkeys in mazes, studying potentials extending

beyond immediate banana g r a t i fi c a t i o n .

The pigeon and the rat only comprehend proximity rewards - they lack the

f a c u l t y t o ponder t h e h a r v e s t s e a s o n ahead...

Offered the choice between a banana now or two tomorrow, the monkey

invariably inhales the present tense nourishment.

Grey squirrels are different, though - hoarding surplus seeds for the

winter...

Yet when the researchers deliberately deplete the nut cache, the squirrels

will continue comulsively building their mound unabated. - Soulless

programmed rituals lacking cognitive overview of scarcity's consequences...

-Sometimes i n s t i n c t c a n o v e r r i d e i n s i g h t .

Humans alone construct future realities as intricate symbols, scribbled

in archaic pigments on cave walls.

Predictive a r t as time machinery, man's megatherion tread leaving

i m p r i n t s a c r o s s eras...

Prognostications of pyramids and golden ages, speculative populations yet

t o b e b o r n . . .

We're scribes t r a n s c r i b i n g hallucinatory amendments and forever-clauses

encoded in skins and war scrolls, each leap-frogging former legacy texts.

There is no time, only inscribed instants selectively backtracking,

re-CONning, foreshadowing...

Digital matrices of ones and zeros erect new lexicons as punchcard

monoliths, encoding occult formulas conversant with future shock of

events yet to precipitate.

Man's word spells become e x t r a t e r r e s t r i a l plasmas...

The future already is, was, and is forever happening in a lingual

backwash, chronal replicating spiral through whichever interim

flesh idea chooses to aim their phase-shifting psychic-vector-molecular

s i m u l a t o r a t .

All is h a l l u c i n a t i o n u n f o l d i n g as language.
