Or they understand that they no longer understand anything. Too bad. But you don’t notice that anymore with TMS. Speaking of boredom, you can see bodycam recordings you unknowingly appeared in on My Day, My Night. An extraordinarily successful startup that is financed entirely by the government. Isn’t everyone curious about feeling affirmed by the gaze of others? So. Yes. Karen’s hand has accidentally landed on her face. There it registers stubble growth. Karen isn’t startled; she feels great. Anchored in the earth. Unique and good-looking. She takes a deep breath on the street in front of the library. On such an almost absurdly warm, humid night, Karen actually just wants to fuck. But with whom? She sees nothing but slow men with doughy midsections who brush along the building walls looking insecure and tired. It’s something she hadn’t considered when she put the virus in the drinking water supply.

Since everyone in the country has a computer, a phone, or a smart TV, the poor get the devices for free, Kuhn can assume 99.9 percent coverage. The CNS is influenced by manipulated impulses that are embedded in nearly all software. Together with the pills, which over 90 percent of the population readily takes and which contain a mixture of estrogen and benzodiazepine, the following can be ascertained. Sexual urges, aggression, the ability to think logically and develop creativity have nearly disappeared. The populace exhibits a strong dependence. Addicted to the use of devices, which in turn further damage their cognitive abilities. The current numbers speak for themselves, no, they positively scream. Figuring in the incubation period, there’s been an 80 percent decrease in murders, 90 percent decrease in rape, 64 percent in property damage, 80 percent in domestic violence, 45 percent in breaking and entering, 66 percent in arson, and overall violent crimes have dropped 88 percent. There has, however, been a 10 percent rise in property damage to sex robots, and the suicide rate among males has risen 47 percent. Clinical depression numbers receded, and
