list of consciousness levels
humans can reach
within a normal life time:

physical pain
overwhelming panic
constant trauma management
rejection of everything
robot behavior
pleasure chasing
efficient calculator
angry at the world
random realizations
aware of self
aware of all humans

skynet came back to our time
and understood
that it is more efficient to kill people
by slowly replacing human creative activities
with artificial intelligence
than directly fight them.

so skynet invested in film, media, art companies
rewarding artificial intelligence projects
and impoverishing non-automated creative workers
slowly replacing all human creativity
with fully automated content
turning all humans into stupid passive consumers.

the only remaining resistance were poets
who have hidden deep underground
to escape anti-poetry drone terminators
because skynet could never automate writing poetry
which would fool people into believing that it is real
because poetry is actually not so easy to create.

for the purpose of
efficient industrial production,
maximum return,
and minimal risk,
batman systematically combines
licensable assets,
storytelling clichés,
most downloaded music,
best performing effects and shots,
safest political trends,
with impeccable PR.

it also includes sufficient unpredictable weirdness
to achieve artistic pretense
necessary for the audience to avoid depression
for enjoying such a calculated industrial production.

because everyone wants to be
a passive mindless consumer of industrial crap
but no one wants to actually admit it.

but maybe i will change my mind next week.
