The human story isn't a genuine one anymore, the path of humanity is created artificially. Our own lives probably aren't the natural lives we were meant to have. We are losing genuine humanity.

Dystopia has been here, but everyone is ignorant. That's sounds mean but it's true.

It's already to the point it's too late.

Have you been to the DMV, or Department of Human Services?

TCB?
