Day #062@ A Gathering of the Tribe Part #2/4
A Fable for Our Times
@COMSPE KOMBO
aka Comprehension & Speaking Combination:
At the time of writing (2023/5/20) there is a very real fear of totalitarianism taking over the planet, especially in the western countries. The people of many countries are at war against their corrupt governments. Evidence suggests that if we are not able to topple these corrupt and hypocritical regimes and regain our true freedom and human rights, the rest of the world might follow.
According to this beautiful allegory, help is on the way. From the future. A million years into the future. From a surprising race of people: highly evolved future versions of ourselves.
