In the Year 2525
The song In the Year 2525 begins with an opening verse that speculates about the state of humanity and how it manages to survive until that time.
The truth prevailed despite the gaslighting, psychological operations, intimidation, persecution, medical madness, and pharmaceutical abuse. In the end, people celebrated an actual biological existence. They rejected the chains of the non-binary transhuman collectivist ecosystem. The beauty of man and woman, pro-creating binary babies, will shine forth as God’s love.

Introduction
In the Year 2525 (Exordium & Terminus) is a popular song from 1969 performed by the American pop-rock duo of Denny Zager (1944-) and Rick Evans (1943-2018). It achieved great success, reaching the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for six consecutive weeks starting on July 12, 1969. It also topped the U.K. Singles Chart for three weeks in August and September of that same year. Rick Evans wrote and composed In the Year 2525 in 1964. Recorded in Odessa, Texas, the song debuted in 1968 on Truth Records, a small regional record label. It later gained wider recognition when RCA Records picked it up. Zager and Evans disbanded in 1971.
Zager and Evans are one-hit wonders, never to release another single that hit like In the Year 2525. This applies to the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and the U.K. Singles Chart. As of 2022, they remain the only recording artists to have a number-one hit on both sides of the Atlantic. Their follow-up single on RCA Victor, Mr. Turnkey, reached number 48 on the Canadian pop charts and 41 on the Canadian A.C. chart. Still, it did not replicate the success of their previous hit. Another single, Listen to the People, made it onto the Cashbox chart, reaching the 100th spot and peaking at 96 in Canada.
The song In the Year 2525 begins with an opening verse that speculates about the state of humanity and how it manages to survive until that time. Each verse leaps forward in time by approximately 1000-year intervals.
Since its debut in my 13th year, In the Year 2525 has been a delight to my ears. Even after a half-century, it continues to captivate me. Given our alternate reality, behold my expanded fictional rendition of In the Year 2525.
In the Year 2525
If man is still alive ~ If woman can survive ~They may find
In a distant land, a society called Aequilibrium flourished, where a vibrant belief system called Institutional Collectivist Gender Ideology (ICGI) held sway. It had become a powerful force, akin to a fundamentalist religion, demanding unwavering allegiance to its doctrines and actively seeking to convert those who dared question its dogma.
The proponents of ICGI had established a system akin to blasphemy laws, policing any dissent or heresy with unyielding severity. One’s gender identity had become the secular equivalent of the cherished ‘soul,’ an immutable and sacred aspect of an individual’s being, beyond scrutiny or debate.
Within Aequilibrium, a group of dissidents emerged, challenging the entrenched power of ICGI. They questioned its dogma of collectivist secular absolutism.
However, these dissidents faced an uphill battle. ICGI’s hold on society was pervasive, and its adherents were unwavering in their conviction. The ICGI cult sought to silence opposition, branding the dissenters as heretics, deceivers, and right-wing terrorists.
Outside observers wondered why so many believed this tide of ICGI would eventually recede. The answer lay in the tactics employed by its adherents. They excel at deceit, using sophisticated strategies to sway public opinion, manipulate language, and control the narrative. The cult created a false sense of certainty, assuring people that their beliefs were unquestionable and destined to triumph.
But the dissidents refused to be silenced. They persisted in their quest for truth, challenging the prevailing orthodoxy and inviting others to question the dogmas imposed upon them. Their movement grew, slowly eroding ICGI’s dominance.
Ultimately, the battle between ICGI and its dissidents was not a pendulum swinging back and forth or a tide subject to lunar gravity. It was a struggle for intellectual freedom, for the recognition that human nature was multifaceted and diverse. The outcome remained uncertain, but the dissidents held onto hope, believing that truth and reason would eventually prevail over deceit and manipulation.

Ain’t gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lies ~ Everything you think, do, and say ~ Is in the pill you took today
As the Red Pill People predicted, nations no longer exist but are now regional authorities.1 The love of a country is deemed a right-wing ideological threat. The flagship of the World Constitution is the new First Amendment.
This First Amendment to the Global Socialist Constitution is enacted to establish a society based on socialist principles, collective welfare, and social equality. It acknowledges the importance of centralized governance, economic equity, social justice, and loyalty to the ruling party in creating a classless and egalitarian global community. The global government is committed to ensuring the implementation of collectivist policies and suppressing any forces threatening the socialist order.
In the Year 4545
Ain’t gonna need your teeth, won’t need your eyes ~ You won’t find a thing to chew ~ Nobody’s gonna look at you
The world evolved far beyond the binary concepts of male and female. Aequilibrium prevailed with dissidents incarcerated in solitary confinement. Humanity transcended the limitations of traditional gender roles. The narrative claims that all embraced a new era of identity and self-expression. Genetic engineering, advancements in medical technology, and a societal shift occurred. A new understanding paved the way. It became a world where individuals were no longer confined to a specific gender at birth.
The process of conception and birth had transformed. People who wish to have children visit specialized clinics. They create embryos using their genetic material. These embryos got modified to ensure a balance between physical attributes and traits. The genetic material from any number of DNA donors (parent is now a forbidden hate word) eliminates any predetermined notion of gender. Traditional families are a prohibited practice. Those seeking such misogynistic arrangements face solitary confinement for life.
Children live in an environment that encourages exploration and self-discovery. They embrace their unique qualities, free from the expectations of predefined gender norms. Schools emphasize diversity, inclusion, and equity (DIE). It is all about respect for all individuals, fostering a sense of acceptance and understanding.
As these children grow older, they choose their gender identity. Society embraced an array of gender identities beyond the binary. Individuals are no longer permitted to identify as male or female. People adopt limitless gender categories other than the bad binary.
Technology plays a significant role in this gender-fluid world. Advanced medical procedures allowed individuals to transition from a genetic level. This aligns their bodies with their chosen gender identity and appearance. Hormonal treatments and surgeries reshape physical appearance or race. This holistic approach ensures each person can express themselves in the desired way.
Society had restructured itself to accommodate this new reality. Long gone are any vestiges of the bad binary of man and woman. That includes clothing designs, restrooms, prisons, social clubs, locker rooms, golf clubs, sports, and gender-segregated schools. Laws protect individuals from discrimination based on gender identity. It fosters an environment of equal rights and opportunities.
Relationships and partnerships have also evolved. People formed connections based on emotional compatibility. Societal expectations tied to gender roles no longer exist. Love and companionship occur in their purest form. People are free from the constraints of predefined gender dynamics.
In this future world, diversity thrives. People celebrate the richness of human experiences across the non-binary gender spectrum. The once rigid bad-binary boundaries of male and female had given way to a fluid and limitless understanding of identity. Humanity has learned to embrace collective individuality. We, the people, promote a society where everyone lives in a non-binary bliss.

Your arms are hanging limp at your sides ~ Your legs got nothing to do ~ Some machine’s doing that for you
In a world transformed by advanced technology, we see a city where physical labor demands no longer burden human bodies. Gone is the struggle of manual tasks. A network of efficient and intelligent machines frees humanity from the weariness of toil.
Walking through the bustling streets, we marvel at the sights. People stroll, their arms hanging limp at their sides and their legs devoid of purpose. It is a scene both fascinating and perplexing.
It is a sight to behold the wonders of technology and its ability to transform human existence. The machines had indeed taken over the physical responsibilities that once burdened us. Still, rather than reducing non-binary people to idle beings, the Outer Bank Individuated Teletracer (O.B.I.T.) enables people to soar as transhuman. People live beyond the confines of physical bodies to explore the vast realms of knowledge and imagination.
As a transhuman, consciousness transcends the boundaries of a single physical body and exists in a networked collective consciousness. The seamless integration and consciousness expand beyond the physical body’s confines. People experience a profound sense of liberation as awareness merges with the digital realm. It grants unfathomable computational power and access to virtually unlimited knowledge.
The O.B.I.T. advocated for ethical considerations and regulations. It ensures that technology and biology integrate responsibly and with respect for non-binary collective individual rights and dignity. We are the O.B.I.T. Borg; resistance is futile.
In the Year 6565
Ain’t gonna need no husband, won’t need no wife ~ You’ll pick your son, pick your daughter too ~ From the bottom of a long glass tube, whoa, whoa
A cluster of geodesic domes stood tall in the heart of the desolate wasteland that had once been a thriving civilization. This dome system shielded the population of NewTopia from the harsh realities of the outside world. Within these sterile shields, a population of young people thrives. The O.B.I.T. orchestrates their lives.
NewTopia is a micro-society, a utopian paradise that emerged from the ashes of an apocalyptic event. The survivors had banded together, determined to build a new world free from the mistakes and calamities of the past. They believed they could create a harmonious and sustainable society. This, they relinquished their individual needs and self-determination.
Under the watchful eye of the O.B.I.T., the people of NewTopia had no wants or desires. With their every need supplied, they have their every decision guided. The O.B.I.T. controls every aspect of their lives. It ensures resources remain for fair distribution. It is a regulated world where personal freedom counters the greater good.
The prime directive calls for a pristine environment. Society must support the principles of Socialist Sustainable Development. The people of NewTopia must refrain from engaging in relationships that might lead to procreation. Instead, babies are born in a test tube-like nursery. The concept of wedlock is archaic and unnecessary.
The O.B.I.T. excludes historical references or the world outside the domes. It paints a picture of the outside as a toxic, dangerous environment. The people of NewTopia are fortunate for the controlled environment. The residents no longer needed to learn about the past or understand what had led to their current state. Their lives focus on the present and the future as dictated by the O.B.I.T.
Yet, as time passed, curiosity began to stir within some of the inhabitants of NewTopia. They found themselves questioning the system. They long for something more than a sterile existence. Whispers of a different world, stories of a past filled with triumphs and failures, man and woman, joy and sorrow, reached their ears. The longing for knowledge grew more robust, and a small group of rebels emerged.
These rebels sought to uncover the truth, to venture beyond the domes and discover what lay outside. They began to piece together fragments of history, defying the O.B.I.T. It is a dangerous mission, as discovery would mean challenging the very foundations of NewTopia.
As their knowledge grew, so did their discontent. They realized their lives were a façade devoid of meaning and purpose. They yearned for the freedom to make their own choices and shape their destinies. The rebels dreamt of a society where the people were not mere pawns in the system’s grand design but active participants in their own lives.
The rebellion grew, spreading its influence throughout NewTopia. The rebels coordinated covert meetings. They shared their forbidden knowledge and dreams of a different world. They understood that their struggle was not against the system but against their fear of the unknown.
And so, the stage was set for a clash between the forces of conformity and the yearning for freedom. The O.B.I.T. instrument called the Socialist Peoples League of Collectivists tagged freedom seekers as right-wing domestic terrorists. In the shadow of the geodesic domes, the people of NewTopia stood at a crossroads, their futures uncertain. Would they choose to remain prisoners of a sterile existence or dare to step outside and forge a new path? The choice was theirs to make, which would determine the fate of NewTopia and its inhabitants forever.

If God’s a-comin’ he ought to make it by then ~ Maybe he’ll look around himself and say ~ Guess it’s time for the Judgement day
The world stood on the precipice of a momentous event. It is an event whispered about in hushed tones, a day that would forever alter the course of human existence. It was the prophesied Judgment Day, a reckoning of cosmic proportions.
Throughout the centuries, humanity has evolved, shaped by its triumphs and failings, its virtues and vices. As the appointed day arrived, people from all walks gathered in anticipation and trepidation. The air crackled with mystic energy as if the very fabric of reality held its breath.
An inexplicable luminescence bathed the world as the sun dipped below the horizon. The sky shimmered with vibrant hues of colors, casting a glow upon the expectant faces below. Whispers of hope, fear, and introspection permeated the air.
A colossal screen materialized before the assembled multitudes. It included a canvas upon which their lives would display, their actions and intentions unveiled. One by one, the screen showed scenes from their existence. It captures moments of profound joy and crushing sorrow, acts of kindness, and deeds of darkness.
The screen did not judge but offered a mirror to each individual’s soul, reflecting the echoes of their choices. Some had overwhelming pride, witnessing the ripples of their compassion and selflessness. Others got confronted with the weight of their transgressions.
In the Year 8510
God is gonna shake his mighty head ~ He’ll either say I’m pleased where man has been ~ Or tear it down and start again, whoa, whoa
The state of humanity had become fraught with turmoil and discord—the people, consumed by their self-interest, faced blindness. Led by narrow perspectives, they lost sight of the harmonious balance that once prevailed. As the fabric of society frayed, whispers spread of an upcoming event. It would be a moment when God would shake His mighty head, lamenting humanity’s chosen path.
News of this divine gesture traveled far and wide, sparking the populace’s curiosity. Apprehension and introspection prevailed. The anticipation of God’s impending action hung heavy in the air. It prompted individuals to reflect on their actions and the world they had shaped.
On the appointed day, a profound stillness enveloped the earth as the sun reached its zenith. People paused in their daily routines, gazing upward with reverence and trepidation. The atmosphere crackled with magical energy as if the very fabric of reality awaited the divine signal.
Then, a gentle tremor resonated through the earth at the precise moment when expectation peaked. It started as a subtle vibration, intensifying until the ground beneath their feet rumbled. All heard the echoing of unrest that plagued human hearts.
With a solemn gaze, God shook His mighty head, conveying disappointment and understanding. In that timeless moment, hearts lay bare. Triumphs and failures display—their kindness, cruelty, love, and apathy show before the Divine gaze.
The truth prevailed despite the gaslighting, psychological operations, intimidation, persecution, medical madness, and pharmaceutical abuse. In the end, people celebrated an actual biological existence. They rejected the chains of the non-binary transhuman collectivist ecosystem. The beauty of man and woman, pro-creating binary babies, will shine forth as God’s love.

I’m kinda wondering if man is gonna be alive ~ He’s taken everything this old earth can give ~ And he ain’t put back nothing, whoa, whoa
Now it’s been 10,000 years ~ Man has cried a billion tears ~ For what he never knew ~ Now man’s reign is through ~ But through eternal night ~ The twinkling of starlight ~ So very far away ~ Maybe it’s only yesterday
In the year 2525 ~ If man is still alive ~ If woman can survive ~ They may thrive
In the year 3535 ~ Ain’t gonna need to tell the truth
Epilogue
Back to the future of our alt-reality of today and cast aside the manufactured philosophical differences that divide us. Unite to disobey and defeat the Nasty New World Order. It is simple; do not comply. Unite or die!

The Bible
The concept of the red pill originates from the famous and influential sci-fi action film The Matrix, released in 1999. In the movie’s early scenes, the protagonist, Neo, faces a choice between two pills: red and blue. The red pill signifies a transformative awakening, albeit one that may involve hardship and struggle. By taking the red pill, Neo opens up to a discomforting revelation about the world’s true nature. On the other hand, the blue pill represents the allure of remaining in blissful ignorance and enjoying a sense of security and comfort.
It's worth noting that a similar notion can be found in the 1990 science fiction film Total Recall. In that movie, a character offers another a red pill symbolizing a desire to return to reality. However, unlike The Matrix, this scenario has no counterpart blue pill.
Over time, the terms “red pill” and “blue pill” have evolved into slang, representing either embracing a hard truth or rejecting it to maintain a comforting but false belief.
It fosters an environment of equal rights and opportunities.
It's more like Equity, where everyone gets the same equality of outcomes. They are all the same, regardless of merit or standing. The dumbest person can become a commissar, while a clever person is set to work in the garbage dump.
