Muchos analistas políticos afirman que este nuevo modus vivendi fue intencionalmente creado por las corporaciones, para impedir una inminente explosión social que hubiese acabado con el statu quo reinante.

El éxito mundial de la tecnología ME ha llevado a la Corporación GlobalMeta a ser la más influyente y poderosa del planeta. La población mundial ha desechado el flagelo del consumo de drogas, sustituyéndolo por algo parecido; sin embargo, las consecuencias del uso indiscriminado de esta tecnología conllevan a consecuencias peores a nivel psicológico y psicosomático, que originarán la caída de la especie humana si no se pone coto al asunto. A esta conclusión ha llegado el profesor Henry Gilbert, quien pronostica una catástrofe, no solo por los efectos irreversibles en la salud de la población mundial, sino también en la economía y, en general, en la cultura humana. Nuestros objetivos primarios por conseguir placer y satisfacción personal han sido el desencadenante para la pronta e ineludible extinción de nuestra raza, afirma.

--¿Quién hubiese creído? —ahora la ME sustituyó a las drogas. ¿No te parece contraproducente la estrategia GlobalMeta? --- Habló con ironía el Profesor Gilber a su colega recién llegado de Europa, que revisaba datos de su computadora.

-- Por su puesto, lo que antes pudiese haber sido la solución para resolver los problemas de escasez de recursos, ahora es su perdición---Respondió su asistente.

El profesor Gilber, doctorado en Neurobiología, ha enfrentado la tecnología ME por cuanto según sus modelos matemáticos y estadísticos la población mundial se ha mantenido pacíficamente estable, sin embargo, la tasa de mortalidad aumenta progresivamente. El conveniente control del número de habitantes, ahora deviene en muertes que pueden conducir a la aniquilación de la humanidad.

En una conferencia urgente dictada en la ONU su conclusión es realmente apocalíptica:

“No solo hemos descubierto una creciente tasa de mortalidad a nivel mundial, sino que se ha detectado que la productividad de empresas y mano de obra merma considerablemente día a día, toda vez que una creciente cantidad de personas no acuden a sus centros de trabajo debido al marasmo existente. Los procesos químicos en los cerebros de los usuarios de ME disminuyen su capacidad cognoscitiva y de atención. La mayoría de los trabajadores prefieren quedarse disfrutando sus dispositivos ME que acudir a sus obligaciones diarias. La apatía también se nota en centros educativos, granjas, comercios, hospitales, restaurantes y hasta en iglesias. La economía se estanca y cada vez más retornamos a las épocas de las cavernas. Asimismo, la población sufre de problemas físicos y psicológicos debido a la inactividad de la mente y el cuerpo.” ¡¡Estamos en un estado de indefensión, expresa!!

Así concluye el Profesor Gilber su exposición, con los pocos delegados de países que acudieron a la conferencia…

Myst Ecounter

The year is 2087. The earth's population is nearly 10 billion people, a large percentage of whom live in extreme poverty in South America, Africa and Asia. In developed nations, times of relative calm coexist. There have been no riots or social movements against governments for decades, despite food shortages due to climate change. Sociologists and psychologists suspect that this attitude is due to the fact that many of the world's citizens are immersed in a trendy, low-cost technology that both young and old are passionate about. Virtual reality technology is at an all-time high. Its latest product called Myst Ecounter (ME) consists of cranial level devices that produce mystical experiences through dopamine discharges to the limbic system, where pleasurable emotions are found. The companies of this type of software are the most powerful in the stock market, with GlobalMeta Corporation being the leader in sales worldwide.

It should be noted that, for decades, science has successfully explored deep into the human psyche in search of highly satisfying sensory experiences, producing effects that were only achieved through the consumption of powerful psychotropic substances such as LSD 25 and Heroin.

Many political analysts claim that this new modus vivendi was intentionally created by corporations to prevent an imminent social explosion that would have overturned the status quo.

The worldwide success of ME technology has made GlobalMeta Corporation the most influential and powerful corporation on the planet. The world population has discarded the scourge of drug use, replacing it with something similar; however, the consequences of the indiscriminate use of this technology lead to worse consequences at the psychological and psychosomatic level, which will bring about the downfall of the human species if the matter is not stopped. This is the conclusion reached by Professor Henry Gilbert, who predicts a catastrophe, not only because of the irreversible effects on the health of the world's population, but also on the economy and, in general, on human culture. Our primary objectives of pleasure and personal satisfaction have been the trigger for the early and inescapable extinction of our race, he says.

--Who would have thought? -Now EM has replaced drugs, doesn't the GlobalMeta strategy seem counterproductive to you? --- Professor Gilber spoke ironically to his colleague just arrived from Europe, who was reviewing data on his computer.

-- Of course, what once might have been the solution to solve the problems of resource scarcity is now its undoing," replied his assistant.

Professor Gilber, who has a PhD in Neurobiology, has confronted the ME technology because according to his mathematical and statistical models the world population has remained peacefully stable, however, the mortality rate is progressively increasing. The convenient control of the number of inhabitants now results in deaths that can lead to the annihilation of humanity.

In an urgent conference given at the UN its conclusion is truly apocalyptic:

"Not only have we discovered an increasing mortality rate worldwide, but it has been detected that the productivity of companies and labor force is decreasing considerably day by day, since an increasing number of people do not go to their workplaces due to the existing stagnation. Chemical processes in the brains of EM users diminish their cognitive and attention span. Most workers would rather stay at work enjoying their ME devices than attend to their daily duties. Apathy is also noticeable in schools, farms, stores, hospitals, restaurants and even churches. The economy is stagnating and more and more we are returning to the times of the caves. Also, the population suffers from physical and psychological problems due to inactivity of mind and body." We are in a state of helplessness, he expresses!!!!!

Thus Professor Gilber concludes his presentation, with the few country delegates attending the conference....
