Beautiful. The devil is who we ourselves become when we lie to ourselves. There is a currently popular song about the give and take of understanding love. We are meant to be love and not hate.
Extraordinary how music of those times gave us glimpses into what is crucial to understand.
In the Year 2023.... A recently amended California bill would add “affirming” the “sexual transition” of a child to the state’s standard for parental responsibility and child welfare. If signed into law, the legislation would make any parent who doesn’t allow their child to be subjected to “trans” medical treatments and surgeries guilty of abuse under California state law.

Vegas water agency empowered to limit home water flows in future.
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Nevada has taken a dramatic, but not immediate, step toward limiting the amount of Colorado River water used in the most populous part of the nation’s most arid state, after lawmakers gave Las Vegas-area water managers the levers to limit flows to single-family homes.

This song had been around a while when I was a kid with an older teen age brother and sister, who music became mine. I remember this song in the same vain a seeing 2001 as a young kid. Just old enough to get the vastness of the future the movie conveyed and the emptiness of space. The song was the same...I remember thinking it was like the movie...it wasn't real, but it was...or would be.
You fleshed it out well. I doubt we make it to 9595, in all honesty.
BTW, this has always bothered me, since the time I learned to do math without my finger - again, as a kid I wondered these things - doesn't 9595 - 2525 = 7,070 years?? I get that singing "now it's been seven thousand and seventy years..." doesn't roll off the tongue...but honestly asking - where did I miss those other 2,930 years??

That song actually always totally creeped me out when I was a child, about 6 when it came out. I was more of a Night's in White Satin kind of kid! The writing above is absolutely extraordinary Frederick. Very much enjoyed it. There were touches of Logan's Run in the section with the domes. That's what I thought of. That film, though widely panned at the time, has turned out to be probably prophetic in many ways. The way everything is now headed. All these crazy mega-city/prison projects like The Line etc. made me think immediately of it.
So I followed your link to your 2001 A Space Odyssey article and it was also quite good as an overview of that film. I started looking at it again in 2017 because I started having a nagging feeling about it that I have learned to recognize as God speaking through intuition. This happens to me lots. I was aware of the accusations of Kubrick's front projection tech from this film being used to help fake the moon landings. (And yes, I believe they were totally fake) I was also aware of the very clear "Easter eggs" people were finding placed in later films like The Shining in regards to this alleged secret. I also had become aware of his connections to Masonry and "those" families.
So with all that in mind I had another look at this fascinating film I had loved as a kid. One thing, to keep this brief, that hit me square in the face was that the black rectangular monolith was very similar to the black cube of Kabbalism. That is what had been nagging me, that and what Bowman's transformation actually represented. I did some digging and found what I was looking for. It turns out Kubrick and Clarke had wanted to use SATURN instead of Jupiter for this story. It is said that they couldn't figure out how to make realistic rings so it was changed to Jupiter. I think it was just too close to the truth and people got spooked at the studio. Once you know this film is actually about Kabbalism and that world view it changes everything. To keep this short, in my view the story of Bowman is about the journey of the person destined to be "reborn" as what cultures all over the planet have referred to as the return of the King of the World. He has dozens of names. The "Peacock King", Enki, Saint Germain, etc. Christians are going to call this person Antichrist. That is what I think this film was about, as spectacular as it was.
I collect dystopias. This is a good one. IMO the best-ever exploration of "city-regions" is the 1980s-era Judge Dredd, which has been prescient about a lot of things in our world.

Very creative and will written! I do believe Christ will come back much sooner than we think...
Sheer curiosity would keep me here if I could live so long, but my soul sighs relief in the face of my escape before the real shit hits the fan.
Awesome music find, Totally hope the severely reduced population isn't subjected to the future painted here.
Probably Klaus Schwab's favorite song.

That was excellently developed. Well done.

Thanks so much for the update and info. I will make the corrections on the online post.
