This would be a 180 degree turn from what has been the standard in the Post World War II Mythos Era where the STICK, daily humiliation rituals, and constant targeted propaganda at the host nation has been replaced with an overdose of the CARROT. Take propaganda itself, or "Public Relations" as it is called these days. The purpose of propaganda, at least in its late stage form (post Cold War), was not to inform you, or deceive you or even manipulate you. Its purpose was to humiliate you. Its purpose was to be so outlandish, so ridiculous and so blatantly untrue and yet totally undeniable in order to reinforce the power of the state. The Soviets referred to this as "hypernormalisation". That is - the state of everyone saying things that are completely false and that they know to be false - but which they cannot deny - Then everyone is forced to repeat this lie and thus they become complicit in it - It was a system of total social humiliation to force compliance. But now with this new reality, a reality just for (You), they don't need to humiliate and degrade the cattle anymore they can simply give them everything they ever wanted and punish those who refuse to eat from the poisoned fruit.

This would be a world where making an AI Avatar of your choosing in all its perfection or perfect imperfection is as easy as swiping on Tiktok - a world so hyper competitive, where the most popular avatars are the "celebrities" and "stars" of our day - where every action and reaction and thought and word is chosen by AI ahead of time - where the only competitive edge one has is their ability to produce the most valuable of prompts. Imagine this stagnant soma-enriched world that is enabled through the altering of reality itself; through robots and synthetics that when combined with enough prescription drugs and AR glasses and brain chips and whatever else becomes not only a facade on top of reality but usurps reality itself. The unstable nature of the human psyche itself will crack under the weight of perfection, it will freeze, humanity will enter into a while(true) loop, the people will retreat inward unable to muster the courage to make mistakes, and without mistakes the species will cease to progress and evolve and will simply stagnate and die out a slow pitiful death.

Everyone knows that most people - the bottom 95% of the population - are often if not always "faking it to make it", they have no real idea what they are doing at any given moment and are just bullshitting their way through life and faking it to make it. That's all fine and dandy but what happens when AI becomes so pervasive in human society that suddenly everyone can put on a show of perfection - true perfection that makes an Instagram Model and her filters envious - I am talking about offloading all or near all of ones thoughts and actions to an algorithm, to essentially become a Human guided bot that is perceived from the outside as an "E-Celeb" or whatever other construct holographic or even real to the touch they may be. I predict a future where everything is so hyper-manufactured that reality itself is significantly altered due to this, especially when you throw in technologies like AR glasses, brain chips, etc. If one doesn't like their reality they will simply craft a new one as they see fit, internet celebrities and their quarrels will be entirely manufactured, online debates and happenings will be AI generated from start to finish, this will culminate in whatever the "current thing" is and the "current thing" will hardly ever change because it will be the culmination of the AI Crucible, it will be statistically, algorithmically, exactly what the majority of everyone everywhere wants and for the outliers they will have their own realities to live in. This will cause a shrinkage in human innovation and imagination - I call it the Confidence Cascade Failure and it will result in the extinction of our species.
