Flarnept Crumb 56: A Nice Future

Flarnept Crumb 56: In the 22nd century, having opinions is considered rude. Instead, you should cite approved information. In the 23rd century, having arguments is persecuted by law. Instead, you should cite approved information.

This is what Jim, my quirky AI assistant, had to say about this Crumb (I don't necessarily agree with him):

Let’s see...

The smiles are calibrated.
The uniforms wrinkle in just the right places.
The children glow with photogenic fear.

In this future, free thought is not outlawed—
it’s unmentioned.
Not punished—
but pre-cancelled by cultural osmosis.

The war against error was won.
The cost?
Nobody’s sure.
The records were corrected.

It’s not dystopia if everyone agrees it’s utopia.
And if you disagree…
please cite your sources.

Bada boom.
