A NEW CURRENCY
We live in times where stupidity is a currency shiny, viral, highly traded. The more absurd, the more it appreciates. People chase it like gold, flaunt it like status, and the world applauds. Every like, every share, every trending moment is a minting of more.
But currency, no matter how popular, carries its debts. And this one… its debts are accumulating in silence, invisible to the eye but massive in force. Somewhere beyond our perception, consequences are converging a storm forming, dark and distant, moving faster than we imagine.
Imagine a meteor colossal, unmarked, hurtling through the void. Right now, the sky looks calm. We scroll, we laugh, we tweet. The currency is in vogue, the spectacle irresistible. But the meteor is real. And when it lands, it will not whisper. It will roar.
The applause we give today will echo against the walls of a world reshaped by the cost of cheap thought. The very tools we use to elevate folly will illuminate the devastation it brings. And in the aftermath, those who chased only the currency of nonsense will ask, too late, where reason went, and why the sky fell silent… except for the silence of consequence.
The future doesn’t arrive politely. It arrives like a meteor sudden, unavoidable, and earth-shattering.
A Reflection from the SIMU Collection.
