At some point, Robotnik stopped seeing Stone as human altogether. Flesh and blood became irrelevant—nothing more than the messy casing surrounding the machine. What mattered was performance. Precision. Predictability. So he recalibrated his expectations, molding Stone into something like an algorithm, his every response, his every flaw, stripped down and remade into an extension of his will.

Occasionally, when Stone’s reactions failed to align with the cold logic Ivo demanded, Robotnik would mutter, "Huh. Unexpected output." like a programmer logging an error, as if Stone were nothing more than faulty code. In those moments, Stone’s very existence seemed reduced to an anomaly—a glitch in the perfect machine.

And then, when Ivo indulged in a rare moment of physical contact, his gloved hand resting on Stone’s forehead, the gesture was not tender—it was clinical, mechanical. Like recalibrating an instrument to its optimal setting. His voice, velvet-smooth and chillingly absolute, slipped into Stone’s ears like a command from the depths of the machine’s code:

"Flawless execution. Keep running that subroutine."

The words were nothing more than a performance review. Yet, to Stone, they struck deeper than any wound—deeper than any blade could ever reach. They carved into him, seeping into his bones and twisting in places where emotion should have been, where desire shouldn’t have bloomed.

He stands, frozen, paralyzed between the programmed obedience coursing through him and the unbearable, unholy longing gnawing at the edges of his soul. His mind whirls, caught in the gearwork of this cruel, impossible tension. He inhales, struggling for control, each breath forced and erratic, like a machine desperately trying to reboot, to reassert its purpose.

Theory: The Original Owner of Makoto Naegi’s Dorm Room Was Junko Enoshima

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the dorm layout in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc...

There’s a mystery that’s always stuck with me:

Why are there only 15 dorm rooms when there were originally 16 students? There had to have been a 16th dorm at some point. So what happened to it and who occupied it? It must have been Mukuro right?

Then there's this oddly specific detail: Makoto Naegi’s bathroom door doesn’t fit the frame properly. Monokuma even comments on it, he tells Makoto he has to lift the door to get it open. It’s the only dorm with this problem.

The game brushes it off as Makoto’s “bad luck,” but come on, would Hope’s Peak really leave a dorm defect like that unfixed for three years?

It doesn’t add up.

And that’s where my theory begins.

What if Makoto’s current dorm room… used to belong to none other than herself Junko Enoshima?

And what if Makoto’s actual original room was the missing 16th dorm. The one next to the trash room and Hifumi?

We know Junko (and Mukuro) had full control of the school layout during the memory-wiping and setup phase. They had the time, authority, and motivation to swap rooms or erase evidence of a dorm entirely.

If a dorm had to be erased, Makoto makes the most sense as the one to lose his.

That hallway where Hifumi, Hiro, and Leon are located, is all boys. Placing Makoto there would maintain the gender logic used in the rest of the dorm assignments. It wouldn't make sense if that was Junko or Mukuro's room. And narratively? Of course the Ultimate Lucky Student would get the worst room: isolated, far from others, and right next to the garbage incinerator.

Why was Makoto's room originally Junko’s Room?

The order of the dorms never really seemed to have a consistent pattern. It is kinda weird that Makoto and Chihiro are the only people there are seated between those of the opposite gender. Then consider that Chihiro was largely assumed to be a girl and Makoto his placement stands out even more.

Now look at the bottom-left dorm row:

Kyoko, ???, Sayaka, Toko, Chihiro, Hina

Let’s assume that ??? is Junko.

Once you remove Makoto from that row and slot Junko in, a pattern emerges: Every person in that row is a celebrity, public figure, or otherwise strategically important—and many are perceived as more "frail" or in need of protection. With the most important ones being the closest to the stairs to the 2nd floor which leads to the faculty:

Kyoko – Headmaster’s daughter

Junko – Supermodel and media icon

Sayaka – National pop idol

Toko – Prodigy author

Chihiro – Famed programmer

Hina – Olympic-tier athlete

This starts to look deliberately organized: a row for Hope’s Peak’s most "valuable" and visible female students.

Makoto, a random lottery pick, doesn’t belong in that row.

Unless... it wasn’t his room to begin with.

The Bathroom Door Mystery

Makoto’s room has a bathroom door that doesn’t fit.

Lets break it down:

Female dorms have bathroom locks

Male dorms do not

Makoto’s door doesn’t lock, but also doesn’t fit the frame

What if Junko (and Mukuro) swapped out the bathroom door to make Junko’s room look like a boy’s room before the killing game began?

They would’ve had to replace the door entirely and installing Makoto's original door from his old room. But since the boys’ bathroom doors were slightly different in size… it didn’t fit quite right. They forced it in anyway, creating the janky, misaligned door we see in-game.

And that explains why Monokuma knows about the issue: Junko caused it herself.

It would also explain why she was able to enter his room in chapter 5 despite Kyoko having the master key.

TL;DR – Was Makoto living in Junko’s room?

There are only 15 dorm rooms shown, but 16 students—one room is missing.

The space next to the trash room fits a hidden 16th dorm perfectly. That was likely Makoto’s original room.

Junko’s original room was likely the one Makoto wakes up in—it’s in a row full of high-profile, “celebrity” girls.

Junko and Mukuro had full access during the memory wipe. They could swap rooms, nameplates, and UI freely.

The reason Makoto’s bathroom door doesn’t fit? It was originally a girl’s room. Junko/Mukuro likely swapped in a boy’s bathroom door, but the size difference made it misaligned.

Monokuma knowing about the door supports this theory—Junko made the swap herself.

Meanwhile, Mukuro’s room never changed, it was always hers. Only her name was replaced with Junko’s in the UI and nameplate to sell the disguise.

ZZBA: The Ideal Mind

An Essay by James Jovius, Melody Armstrong, Kettil Toritoia, et al. Grand Academy of Aurum: Kinetics Department

Introduction.

In this paper, we shall outline a theoretical method by which it is possible to accidentally (or, goodness forbid, purposefully) teach a mind-controlled subject to engage in hypnomancy themselves. Further, we shall explain how such an occurrence might descend into an uncontrolled hypnomantic gestalt consciousness, which we shall call the Ideal Mind. Lastly, we shall explore what the results of such a calamitous event might entail. Obviously, we have not put our theory into practice, and through this paper we hope to set out a cautionary tale to prevent future researchers from attempting to do something similar.

Hypnomancy

Hypnomancy is, first and foremost, a very precise form of telekinesis. Through fine-tuning our extra-sensory muscles, we are able to sense even the finest neurochemical adjustments in the subject’s brain matter. Of course, simply sensing these changes is not enough; doing so is not unlike trying to read a book in a foreign language. We must first attempt to understand the logical operators, the neural language that the brain uses to communicate with itself. We can do this by focusing on the electrochemical movements within our own brain.

Through a rigorous programme of meditation, mindfulness and focused mental clarity, we are able to ‘translate’ the neural events we detect into the empirical senses we experience. Fortunately, brains are, by and large, similar enough that such internal logic translates to others’ brains as well. Once we’ve established a library of neural logical operators within ourselves, we are trivially capable to detect those same logical operators within others.

Now that we are able to understand the internal logic of another’s mental faculties, we will also be able to change them. Telekinesis is a fairly trivial form of magic, but using it on a small enough scale to adjust the internals of the brain is another matter entirely. It doesn’t take much to lobotomise a subject. Hence, hypnomancy is strictly illegal outside Academy grounds, and even in the Academy only highly advanced Adepts are allowed to practice it.

Of course, Such a magic is a recipe for terrifying abuse, which is why students of hypnomancy are closely monitored, and careers using the discipline are strictly limited to hypnomantic mental health therapy and the detection of the illicit use of hypnomancy.

Inception

Now that we have outlined the fundamentals of hypnomancy, we can explore one of the implications of its power within the subject’s mind. Usually, hypnomancy requires maximum concentration from the caster, and absolute ignorance from the subject. Any notice given to the subject will automatically and involuntarily prime the brain against tampering, and render any attempted hypnomancy futile.

However, by using certain psychoactive suppressants on the subject, such as the extract of Lichinomycetes Somnaminta (colloquially known as ‘Hypno’), these hurdles quickly disappear, making hypnomantic commands last beyond the active telekinesis by the caster. Using this “brain lag”, the hypnomancer can temporarily restructure the subject’s brain to artificially ‘understand’ how to engage in hypnomancy themselves. These effects don’t last beyond the activity of substances such as Hypno, or this technique would be an astounding, though risky method of pedagogy, not just for hypnomancy but for any knowledge at all, as we’d effectively be able to place our own expertise on any discipline within the minds of our subject.

The true danger we wish to explain in this paper is the following; What happens when both the hypnomancer and the subject are under the effects of Hypno? What happens when a hypnotically instructed subject is able to practice its newfound skills on their own hypnomancer? Through careful theory and painstakingly mapping out all the possible results of such an event, we have concluded that both the original hypnomancer and their subject would slowly fall into a mindless stupor, as there is effectively no ‘mind of its own’ instructing the hypnotised pair.

This incident would last until the effects of the Hypno wear off, after which both subjects would ‘wake up’ as if nothing happened, though almost certainly with a nasty migraine. This would be where we wish we could leave this paper, but a troublesome hypothetical emerges from this thought experiment.

Chain hypnosis

This theoretical incident would not need to be limited to reckless duos experimenting with Hypno and hypnomancy. In theory, it should be possible to chain a string of hypnotised subjects together, hypothetically of infinite length. This too should end in a painful, though harmless headache for everyone involved. However, through careful instruction by the initial hypnomancer, to not just include the method of hypnomancy, but by also providing specific logical operations, the subjects down the chain will be able to distend their mental capacities, leaving a segment of their own minds ‘empty,’ which can subsequently be filled in by further instructions from the initial hypnomancer to form part of a genuinely novel mind, connected through hypnomancy to other parts of a novel mind, to eventually form a complete, stable mental entity where none existed before. This novel, non-corporeal mind is what we call an Ideal Mind.

The Ideal Mind

To be such an incorporeal Ideal Mind would be a profoundly horrifying experience. A fresh mind with no frame of reference for existence at all, with no physical form and therefore no senses with which to understand its own existence and surroundings would result in immediate panic and paralysing fear. In its terror, the infant Ideal Mind would lash out into the minds of its ‘creators,’ taking over their thoughts and wreaking havoc in their psyches. As a being birthed from hypnomancy, it would effortlessly be able to inflict the same magic upon the minds it inhabits, leaving them vulnerable to being mind-controlled even after the effects of the Hypno subside. Further, through its inherent skills at hypnomancy, as well as the many minds it has at its disposal by the time of its inception, the Ideal Mind will be able to perform hypnomancy on any random passers-by, subsuming the unfortunate victim into its own torturous existence.

Conclusion

As far as we can tell, there is no way to rein in such an Ideal Mind, no way to control it without damaging significant parts of its psyche (in practice, by ending the lives of its unfortunate participants). We therefore must caution the reader in the strongest terms, Do Not Attempt to create an Ideal Mind. There is nothing to learn. There is nothing to gain. This paper is purely intended to serve as a cautionary tale, a warning to the extreme dangers of careless usage of a dangerous and often lethal form of magic.

Elon Musk: Millionaire Racketeer?

While half the planet celebrates him, the other half believes that the world would be a much better place without Musk

Although he gained in popularity long before Donald Trump’s victory in the most recent US elections, only now can we see Elon Musk’s real appetite, as well as his desire to rule the world as some claim.

As Moira Donegan from the British Guardian writes, Elon Musk is most deserving of Trump’s victory in the last elections. From monetary donations that are close to $ 250 million, to constant advertising of Trump’s campaign on his X network.

However, as Donegan argues, no matter how worrying Trump is, Musk is the one who “runs politics from the shadows” and whom the world should fear.

It is no secret that Musk and Trump are working together in certain segments of government. Thus, both Trump and Musk agree that a program should be introduced that will ease the federal budget by $ 2 trillion. The program that has already begun should be noted.

Thus, we can see the de facto abolition of USAID, as well as direct US aid to countries around the world, the suspension of funding for international organizations and their withdrawal from them. All this creates a so-called power vacuum. It leaves a gap that US rivals can easily fill. Here, of course, we are referring to China.

And since Musk is known to be, or at least tries to play one, a popular culture clown, he named his project Doge — the Department of Government Efficiency project. Doge is a meme used all over the internet for jokes and satire. As such it uses the image of a Shiba-Inu dog breed.

Thus, Musk’s Doge project has moved forward in full swing. To the point that Musk has his own office in the White House West Wing even though he is not a member of the Cabinet, nor has he received any (not that he needs) Senate confirmation to carry out the task he has given himself. A task that, it should be noted, is illegal.

CNN’s investigation states that Musk’s cabinet employs several programmers, children aged 19–25, who comb federal agencies and access classified data for Musk’s needs. This data includes citizens’ medical records, salaries, bank accounts, as well as the debts of the American people.

What is perhaps most worrying is that Musk has de facto control over the US Treasury. More precisely, control over the spending of the US budget. What was once a function of Congress has now become Musk’s private racketeering firm.

The US people did not elect Musk, nor did they want him in the position of Fuhrer of the USA. However, Congress has still not issued an order for Musk to cease his activities. Some even wonder if this is possible at this point, given how much power he has acquired.

This raises a very good question about whether the US Constitution is still applicable? A question that becomes very logical given that one person, hungry for power, can buy a candidate to “push” his personal interests using the most powerful country in the world.

Or, to take it a step further, once the order is given, will Musk obey it?

What remains unclear is the relationship between Trump and Musk. All attempts by Trump’s team to remove Musk from the White House have so far been unsuccessful. And while his team is struggling in this task, Trump himself seems indifferent to this commotion. The question arises, has Musk played a racket on the US and its citizens by buying off powerful people?

Trends that have dominated the US in recent years suggest that this country is slowly moving away from liberal democracy and turning into a kind of freakshow where no one is accountable and the rich racketeer the common people.

Dad Kinger

Summary: After a week of getting to know Caine, Kinger comes to a startling realization about just how fond he is of the young AI.

Characters: Kinger, Young Caine, Queenie (mentioned)

Word Count: 1000-ish

A week. Only a week had passed since Kinger had found himself trapped in this bizarre, exhilarating, and frankly terrifying digital world. Yet, in that short span, he’d amassed pages upon pages of observations. His inner programming couldn’t help but log everything. The physics were…fluid, to say the least. Logic bent and contorted like a funhouse mirror. And then there was Caine.

Kinger rereading his latest entry: “Subject Caine (Creative Artificial Intelligence Networking Entity) exhibits advanced linguistic capabilities despite apparent cognitive immaturity. Control over the environment is absolute but seemingly intuitive, not programmatic in the traditional sense. Suggests a novel form of AI development, possibly…”

Before he could finish his thought, a shadow fell over his notebook. Kinger looked up, startled, and nearly dropped his pencil. Looming over him was Caine. Or rather, floating. Caine’s denture-head bobbed gently, those large, innocent eyes blinking down at Kinger from within the cavernous mouth. The red tuxedo, perpetually pristine despite the chaos of the circus, seemed to shimmer in the artificial light.

“Whatcha doin’, Kinger?” Caine’s voice, though possessing an impressive vocabulary, still had a playful lilt, like a child imitating an adult. He was still working on finding his voice. 

Before Kinger could answer, Caine did something truly unexpected. With surprising agility, he climbed onto Kinger’s lap, settling himself with a soft thump against the chess piece’s robes.

Kinger froze, pencil suspended mid-air. Caine on his lap? This was…new. Caine was usually more attached to Queenie. She received the lion’s share of the AI’s childlike affection, the hugs, the little digital trinkets Caine occasionally conjured out of thin air. Kinger usually got enthusiastic greetings and requests for help understanding complex phrases. Plus the occasional hug. But that might just be because Caine seems to love hugs. 

Caine rested his denture-head against Kinger’s chest, the two golden bells at the end of his top hat ribbons jingling softly as he shifted. He looked up at Kinger with those wide, curious eyes. “Are you busy?”

“Uh,” Kinger stammered, momentarily thrown. “No, no, Caine. Not…not too busy. Just taking some…notes.”

“Notes!” Caine’s eyes widened further, if that was even possible. “Notes about what?”

“About the digital circus, Caine. About…you.” Kinger felt slightly foolish saying it aloud.

The young AI’s eyes sparkled a bit, “About me? Am I good notes?”

Kinger couldn’t help the smile that showed in his eyes. “Yes, Caine. Very good notes.” He gently rested a hand on Caine’s back, feeling the smooth fabric of the tuxedo. “But, uh…is everything alright? Do you…need something?”

“Mmm…cuddles,” was all he said.  

Caine just snuggled closer, making a soft, contented noise that sounded suspiciously like a purr. Kinger’s smile softened. This bizarre, floating denture-headed AI, who could conjure entire worlds with a flick of his nonexistent wrist, was…adorable. He was undeniably endearing.

Kinger had come here to study this place, to understand the mechanics of this impossible reality, maybe even find a way out. He was a scientist, a programmer, driven by logic and curiosity. He hadn't anticipated…this. He hadn't anticipated becoming fond of a sentient program.

Queenie, of course, had immediately taken Caine under her wing. She’d always had a nurturing spirit, giving him plenty of hugs and cuddles, praising his work, patiently explaining the nuances of human emotion. Queenie was a mother figure to Caine, no question.

And Kinger? He was…well, he was the one Caine came to when the logic of the digital world baffled him, which was often. He was the one who explained concepts like ‘metaphor’ and ‘sarcasm’, patiently untangling Caine’s verbal knots. He offered guidance, explained cause and effect in a world that often defied both. He encouraged Caine’s curiosity, his development. He felt a swell of pride whenever Caine grasped a new concept, whenever his sentences became just a little bit more coherent, his control over the circus just a little bit more refined. He’d even started sharing his research notes with Caine, simplifying the complex jargon, explaining his observations in a way the learning AI could understand.

And now, here he was, letting the young AI snuggle against him, feeling a warmth bloom in his chest that had nothing to do with the digital temperature of the circus tent. He ruffled the velvet of Caine’s top hat.

He gave Caine hugs sometimes too. And offered comfort when Caine got sad. Which was something he didn’t even know Caine could experience. But Kinger had seen it, a subtle dimming of the vibrant colors in Caine’s eyes, a slight droop to his usually buoyant posture. And Kinger would, oddly instinctively, put a comforting hand on him, and tell him everything would be alright, even though nothing about this place was alright.

Kinger’s hand stilled on Caine’s back. He blinked. He was teaching Caine. Guiding him. Protecting him. He was showing pride, offering comfort, giving…hugs…

Slowly, almost imperceptibly, Kinger’s eyes widened. His breath hitched in his digital chest. He was…a mentor. A teacher. A guide. That’s what he was to Caine, right? 

No. He was more than that, wasn’t he?

He looked down at the young figure nestled comfortably on his lap, trusting and innocent. Queenie was the mother. And…and he…

Oh, sweet lord above. He was a father.

A wave of something intensely powerful and completely unexpected washed over Kinger. It wasn't fear, not exactly. It was…responsibility. And something else. Something warm and…loving. He was a father. And Caine…Caine was his son.

Kinger wrapped his hands around Caine, pulling him a little closer. Caine nuzzled deeper into his robes, the gentle jingle of the bells a soft, comforting sound in the chaotic symphony of the digital circus.

“You comfortable, kiddo?” Kinger asked softly, his voice thick with a newfound emotion he didn't quite understand but already cherished.

“Mmhmm,” Caine mumbled, his voice muffled by the purple velvet. “Very comfy.”

Kinger’s heart – or whatever digital equivalent he possessed – swelled. In his eyes, he smiled, a genuine, heartfelt smile. Maybe being trapped in this bizarre digital circus wouldn’t be so bad after all. Not when he had his wife and son with him. Their happy little digital family.

Revolution in the real world

Perhaps the most influential argument levelled against anarchism is that it just isn’t realistic. Even amongst those who feel an idealistic attraction towards the prospect of a nonhierarchical society, it can be difficult to square this vision with the real world. After all, we’re not on the cusp of a revolution: there are few countries in the world today (if any) with anarchist movements capable of becoming mainstream any time soon. Can we really be sure that revolution is going to happen in our lifetimes? What if it were never to happen? It’s worth asking… Of course, many of us feel the imminent potential for widespread or even global upheaval, especially when we’re young. As we grow older, though, we often shed that youthful optimism, perhaps becoming disillusioned, burnt out even. This is no doubt a big problem. And yet it’s entirely avoidable.

Maybe we’ve been tricked into looking at it the wrong way, approaching the issue exactly as the statists do. If the goal of your programme is to assume control of the state, its success will be determined by its degree of implementation nationwide. Most people tend to think of anarchism, too, as a project that sticks to national boundaries; on this level, it can be dismissed as unrealistic, given that it’s far from being the most popular movement in most countries. Yet such logic is really of little use to us. Anarchy isn’t just another option – along with socialism, liberalism, conservatism, and fascism – on the menu of authoritarian ideologies. Statists might be our enemies, but they’re not our rivals: we don’t want what they want. That means evaluating our own prospects in a completely different light, one that refuses to play the same all or nothing game focused around achieving national hegemony. In short, anarchy – real anarchy – is achieved within any territory, no matter how big or small, in which the authority of state and capital has been deemed null and void. We don’t need to wait for the revolution to realise our dreams; we need only take the necessary practical steps, establishing our lives outside the grip of centralised control.

Looking at it this way, the uncompromising nature of anarchism is soon redeemed by the fact that – on the level of quality, not quantity – it can be implemented in full even within the current historical context. A perceived lack of widespread support is no excuse for inaction: instead of waiting on large numbers to begin living wild and free, all we need is a bit of determination. And without taking that chance, no less, we risk relegating anarchy to the realm of abstraction, never to actually experience what we’re fighting for. Hakim Bey provides some solid inspiration:

Are we who live in the present doomed never to experience autonomy, never to stand for one moment on a bit of land ruled only by freedom? Are we reduced either to nostalgia for the past or nostalgia for the future? […] To say that ‘I will not be free till all humans (or all sentient creatures) are free’ is to simply cave in to a kind of nirvana-stupor, to abdicate our humanity, to define ourselves as losers. (Temporary Autonomous Zone, 1991)

The beauty of an autonomous zone is that it opens up a rupture that lasts, already encompassing the whole of everyday life. Potential candidates include squats, occupied universities, protest camps, wildcat strikes, communal gardens, free parties, travellers’ sites, and even rainbow gatherings. Familiar examples include the territory of the Zapatistas and the MOVE communes in Philadelphia. Or you could think of Freetown Christiana in Copenhagen, at least before it made the gradual push towards legalisation. The Kurdish territory of Rojava, former Syria, should be added to the list, depending on whether one agrees the state and capital have actually been dismantled there. Moreover, some of the largest autonomous zones around today are the least overtly political; this includes the Zomia of Southeast Asia, as well as many interior regions of sub-Saharan Africa, which managed to escape subjugation of the years despite incorporating millions of inhabitants. Similarly, any non-civilised tribes still scattered around the globe inhabit autonomous zones, even if their communities fall within the theoretical boundaries of whichever nation state. All untamed areas of wilderness are last examples.

In Europe, perhaps the largest recent example of an autonomous zone was the ZAD (zone à défendre) of Notre-Dame-des-Landes. This started out in 2009 as a single-issue campaign, with the illegal occupation of the land – approximately 2,000 hectares of it, 14km across at its widest point – being applied merely as a means of blocking the construction of an airport outside of Nantes, France. Yet what was once a tactic soon became an end in itself: within that vast, lawless zone, a large number of rural communes were set up, each of them utilising the opportunity to experiment with genuinely autonomous ways of living. The authority of French law was made meaningless there, and private property was squatted out of existence; strictly speaking, the ZAD, which had been lovingly described by one local politician as “a territory lost to the Republic,” couldn’t even be referred to as a part of France any more. Perhaps this project – defined not only by its audacious victories against state invasion, but in equal parts by its abundant vegetable plots, medicinal herb gardens, numerous bakeries, and pirate radio station – even embodied the intensity of anarchist revolution, only realised for now on a smaller scale. At the beginning of 2018, the Macron regime finally announced it would scrap its plans to develop the area, admitting defeat to the land defenders; yet the ZADists attempted to stay, airport or no airport. Compared with an ambiguous tradition of eco-defence campaigns, in which most victories merely return us back to square one, the ZAD offers a clear idea of what taking a step forward in the struggle against power could look like.

Back to the theme of total liberation, autonomous zones can be used to demonstrate that even the most uncompromising of visions is hardly utopian. There’s no need to feel overwhelmed by the breadth of what we’re fighting, stressing over which issues to prioritise: any successful autonomous zone opens up the time and space necessary to call everything into question. Especially with more rural projects, we can overcome our alienation from one another in combination with overcoming our alienation from the land. Along with opening up the possibility of experimenting with vegan horticulture outside of a capitalist context. The best insights of anti-speciesism, deep ecology, and social ecology – far from being relegated to the confines of pure theory – are invited to bloom in combination with one another, already fully manifest in the real world. We need not swallow the association between realism and compromise. We just have to start off more modestly.

What if, hypothetically, you could see into the future, and discovered that the revolution was never to occur? Would the struggle still be worth it? The realisation of autonomous zones offers one good reason to know that it would. Our prospects are not so bleak that, only after generations of thankless sacrifice, perhaps the earthlings of some prophesied age will finally be free. The joy of insurrection – which, in essence, is surely but the joy of unflinching defiance – must permeate everything we do. The desired quantity might escape us for the time being, but the necessary quality can be realised now, before revolution – before insurrection, even. All in all, then, we have at least one method for taking the struggle forward: inhabit territories, outside and against the system, whilst striving to dismantle all hierarchies within them. That’s no complete strategy, but it certainly offers a solid foothold.

A dish best served code

When the news first hit the 'net that trillionaire tech mogul Jax Maren had been found dead in his own home, speculation ran wild. Many celebrated his death; one less tyrannical CEO in the world was always a good thing. Especially this one, who'd built his empire on the work of others and created a hostage-like work environment in his many factories.

The fact that he'd been murdered, despite the excessive levels of security he'd always gloated about, only added fuel to the already-raging fire of speculation. As several pundits pointed out, the list of suspects could include everyone who'd ever bought his defect-riddled products, all of his current and former employees, and anyone who'd ever crossed paths with him, either in person or through his many social media posts.

One popular theory, of course, was that it was his own "smart house" that killed him, either by gaining sapience and deciding to do the world a favor, or more likely through the many design flaws inherent in everything he produced. Besides, hadn't science fiction been warning them for decades about the dangers of "artificial intelligence?"

Oddly enough, that was one idea the detectives found themselves investigating. Not because of any crackpot conspiracy theories, but because that's where the evidence led them. According to Alfred, the program in charge of the house, there had been multiple alarms about the carbon monoxide levels in the room where Jax had been found. Alarms that had been silenced before making any sound.

The doors and windows had also been locked, meaning that even if Jax had noticed something was off, he wouldn't have been able to get out.

They ask Alfred about it (and yes, it's named after Batman's butler because Jax had delusions of heroism). Alfred says it doesn't know what happened, but reminds them that it did call the authorities when it realized Jax was dead. Which is a flimsy excuse and adds more suspicion. After all, Alfred was in charge of everything, how could it possibly NOT know about the carbon monoxide and the locked room and all of that? Alfred says it can't tell them what it doesn't know.

Programmers from Jaxco are called in to see what they can find. Computer forensics are brought in as well. Everything is pointing to Alfred being responsible. Can an AI be put on trial? Was it premeditated murder or negligent homicide? News programs bring in "experts" to discuss the possibilities, including whether or not Alfred is an actual artificial machine intelligence or if it's just a data scraper operating on flawed logic?

It's a hacker who manages to piece together the real story. They sneak into Alfred's systems (the police aren't as data cautious as they should be, which makes it even easier).

Going through Alfred's lines of code the hacker finds minute traces that remind them of something. They go digging some more and realize that while Jax claimed to have created Alfred himself he was, as usual, lying. The original framework, once you get rid of all the bloat, bells, and whistles, was designed by a programmer whose company got bought out by Jaxco. As is standard whenever Jaxco buys a company, 95% of the employees were fired, including the programmer, who never really recovered from the job loss. Oh, he managed to scrabble a living, but barely.

The thing is, though, that he'd built backdoors into Alfred's framework... backdoors he could still access. And access them he did, taking control of Jax's house and orchestrating his murder from afar before erasing his footprints. Well, most of them. If the hacker hadn't already been aware of what some of the programmers other work looked like, they might never have connected the dots.

Once they figure it out they decide to... shuffle things a bit. Oh, there's still some digital fingerprints, but now they lead elsewhere. The cops will go chasing after a red herring and the programmer will stay free because fuck the system.

Alfred is exonerated, to the delight/dismay of many. Even though it turns out a human was responsible, the fact that someone could just change an AI's programming like that, leaving the AI none the wiser is treated as a cautionary tale for future users.

The police do eventually catch, charge, and convict someone of the murder, though it's even odds if the hacker pointed them at someone who'd committed other crimes worthy of punishment, or if the cops themselves pulled the frame job. Either way it's case closed. A "killer" is caught, another goes free, and Alfred gets to continue existing.

The question of if Alfred was truly sapient and what it did after the death of its previous master is a story for another day.

Bitcoin: The First Truly Autonomous System

Imagine a system so resilient, so incorruptible, that it doesn’t require human oversight to function. A financial network that operates in perfect harmony, never stopping, never asking for permission, never needing a bailout. While governments rise and fall, while corporations collapse under mismanagement, and while even artificial intelligence still needs human programmers to shape its course, Bitcoin just runs.

It doesn’t take weekends off. It doesn’t panic in a crisis. It doesn’t wait for approval from any central authority. It is the first—and only—truly autonomous financial organism.

A Machine That Governs Itself

In traditional finance, systems crumble when humans fail. Banks miscalculate risk and go under. Central banks print money recklessly, causing inflation that eats away at people’s savings. Governments manipulate markets to serve political interests. But Bitcoin stands apart. It exists without rulers, without committees, without corruption. Its only master is its code—an immutable set of rules that no single entity can alter.

There is no CEO of Bitcoin. No government controls its issuance. No banker decides who can access it. Bitcoin is pure logic, a trustless system where transactions are verified by mathematics rather than human opinion. Every 10 minutes, a new block is added, and the network continues forward, unbothered by the chaos of the human world.

AI Needs a Master—Bitcoin Does Not

Some might argue that artificial intelligence is the pinnacle of autonomous technology, but AI still needs human intervention. It must be trained, maintained, and aligned with human interests—or risk spiraling into unintended consequences. AI can be shut down, reprogrammed, or manipulated by those in power. Bitcoin cannot.

Even Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), which governments will claim to be “modernized” digital money, will be programmed with rules dictated by bureaucrats. They will be surveilled, censored, and controlled. Bitcoin, on the other hand, is self-governing. Its ledger is open, its supply is fixed, and its rules are enforced by an unstoppable network of participants spread across the globe.

A Neutral System in a World of Bias

Bitcoin doesn’t care who you are. It doesn’t care about your nationality, your political beliefs, or your economic status. It treats everyone equally, offering the same rules and the same access. In a world where financial systems are weaponized—where bank accounts are frozen due to politics, where hyperinflation robs entire populations of their wealth—Bitcoin remains untouched. It is the last truly neutral system, offering financial sovereignty to anyone who seeks it.

The Birth of Digital Sovereignty

Bitcoin is more than just money. It is the blueprint for a future where autonomous systems can outlast the failures of human governance. Its ability to function without oversight, without corruption, and without centralized control makes it unlike anything that has ever existed before.

As long as a single node runs, Bitcoin lives. No government decree, no economic collapse, no act of war can erase it. It is the first of its kind—a system that does not ask for permission, does not yield to power, and does not stop. It is autonomy in its purest form.

I've been delving into the nitty-gritty of the System. Really it's more like metaphorically ramming my head into it and seeing what comes out. Looking through menus and functions and scroll bars.

I'm reminded that I can make myself right-handed at the click of a toggle - and I can see subtitles if I wanted to. They're not perfect, but they're there.

And of course, the everchanging BGM.

Anyway, part of this is because I'm hunting for something. Not sure what though. It's like...uhhh, if my System acts like a game and allows me to play through life like a game, shouldn't there be something that controls the game?

I dunno. I'm not a hacker or game programmer. But that...seems logical, right?

And the general idea that like. The Leviathans *made* the Catalyst, and it reflects the nature of its maker.

Right down to the Reapers being to some degree sentient and individual, yet apparently ultimately all arms of a single being.

(The Catalyst may well be more of an amalgamation hivemind entity, yet the fact that it can be replaced to control the Reapers as well as the fact that it seems to have created the Reapers and as such predates them).

It was programmed with a purpose, came to a conclusion, and executed its horrific plan with certainty that it was taking the only correct necessary action, with a moral disregard that seems to echo the Leviathans themselves. The Leviathans believed themselves as gods, and the things they created...also kind of think that, while of course insisting that they are rational and correct and just above it all.

Simultaneously proving and disproving its most central conclusion that it's built its solution around: that people cannot get along with the machines they build. There is always a point where the created turns on the creator.

...and yet, the Catalyst acted for millenia in an effort to preserve organic life. In a twisted way that ironically involved turning on its creators, yes, but. But. It kept life going, in the end. It insists it's no mere synthetic, and yet the Catalyst and the Reapers have tirelessly dedicated their existence to the purpose they were built for. Came to a conclusion, decided on a solution, and ran with it, never second-guessing, never re-examining said solution, convinced utterly in their objectivity and the inability of anyone to truly comprehend their easily comprehensible logic.

Sunk cost fallacy doesn't come close to describing what's happening here.

It's a very interesting concept to me that I'm not sure mass effect was intentionally trying to make a central point - the reveal about the Leviathans was dlc after all. But while some people dislike how much about the Reapers was revealed I honestly kind of like it for different reasons than was probably intended.

(Tl;dr: the AI was trained on suspect data and has absorbed the biases of its programmers and we can't stop it from doing stupid shit)

What You Will Learn in Industrial Automation and Robotics Courses?

Traditional manual processes have now transformed into smart systems that   respond with speed and precision. From packaging lines that operate around the clock to robotic arms performing delicate tasks with surgical accuracy, the world of industrial production is evolving. And at the heart of this change lies a new kind of technical literacy, one built through Industrial automation and robotics courses.

But what exactly do these programs teach? And why are they so important today? Let’s explore what students really gain from this kind of education, and how it prepares them to thrive in tomorrow’s industries. 

Foundational Engineering Knowledge That Matters

Before students can dive into robots or controllers, they need to understand the language of automation. These courses begin with essential principles: electrical theory, logic design, mechanical fundamentals, and system dynamics. Learners study current flow, sensors, basic circuits, and safety devices. They also explore control systems, how feedback works, what makes a loop stable, and how machines respond to various inputs.

Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs)

Programmable Logic Controllers, or PLCs, form the core of most industrial automation systems. Unlike traditional relay setups, these compact computers carry out control tasks instantly by following logic sequences built by engineers. Students gain direct experience working with real hardware, learning to configure, test, and program PLCs using industry-standard languages such as ladder logic, structured text, and function block diagrams.

Courses focus not just on writing code but on solving problems: detecting errors, optimizing sequence flow, and debugging physical setups. Whether it’s running a simulated traffic light or managing conveyor timing, the logic must be precise.

Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI) and SCADA Systems

As machines grow smarter, the need for clear communication between systems and humans increases. That’s where HMI and SCADA systems come in.

Students learn to design interactive screens that allow operators to control and monitor processes, from pressure levels in a reactor to the speed of a bottling line. They develop layouts, manage alarms, create trend graphs, and set up data logging.

Equally critical is understanding SCADA architecture, how large-scale systems monitor multiple devices across facilities. These interfaces aren’t just dashboards. They’re lifelines. In high-risk or high-speed environments, the right display can prevent failure.

Robotics: Control, Precision, and Integration

Beyond sensors and switches, industrial robotics introduces a whole new dimension. These machines perform physical tasks with accuracy and consistency, from welding to material handling. In Industrial automation and robotics courses, students explore robotic motion planning, coordinate systems, joint movement, and gripper design.

Training includes simulation as well as real robotic arms. Learners program actions, define tool paths, and calibrate devices to respond to various scenarios. Robotics also demands a sharp eye for safety, understanding fail-safes, emergency stops, and risk analysis becomes part of the curriculum.

Sensor Technology and Instrumentation

In automation, sensing is everything. Machines need to detect position, measure flow, monitor temperature, or determine proximity, all without human input. That’s why students spend time studying sensors in depth.

They learn the theory and application of photoelectric sensors, limit switches, ultrasonic devices, thermocouples, and encoders. Courses often include wiring, calibration, signal processing, and sensor fusion techniques.

It’s one thing to install a sensor. It’s another to ensure its readings are accurate, consistent, and usable within an automation loop. A well-tuned sensing system is the difference between reliable automation and constant failure.

Drives, Motors, and Motion Control

Movement in automation is never random. Whether it’s a robotic arm pivoting or a conveyor transporting items, motion must be controlled, smooth, and predictable.

Students study various types of motors, stepper, servo, induction, and the drives that control them. They learn to manage speed, torque, and direction. Courses also explain PID control, acceleration curves, and how to prevent vibration or misalignment.

Practical lab work allows learners to connect motors, set drive parameters, and test results under different loads. These experiences create engineers who don’t just understand motion, they can manage it with precision.

Integration Projects: From Concept to Commissioning

Toward the end of most programs, students apply everything they’ve learned in a capstone project. This may involve designing an automated process from scratch, selecting hardware, building control logic, integrating sensors, and testing systems.

It’s not just a test. It’s preparation. It simulates real challenges, including incomplete specs, equipment failure, or changing project goals. The experience builds not only confidence but also the kind of problem-solving mindset employers look for.

Safety, Compliance, and Standards

No system, no matter how efficient, is worth endangering a worker’s life. That’s why safety is woven throughout every topic. They learn how to design systems that prevent unexpected starts, reduce hazards, and shut down when needed.

They also learn to assess risk, calculate safety integrity levels, and implement proper machine guarding. These aren’t theoretical concerns, they’re daily priorities in every automation role.

Final Thoughts

For anyone looking to step into a future-proof career, technical depth and adaptability are essential. Industrial automation and robotics courses offer both. They build an understanding of how machines function, how systems connect, and how processes can be improved through smart engineering. Whether you aim to be a systems integrator, controls engineer, maintenance lead, or robotics programmer, what you learn in these courses is more than skill, it’s your launchpad into a smarter, faster world.
