Young(ish) Deicide! 

To avoid confusion, this is not the next page in the sequence. I had to jump forwards one page to 177 because a smaller version of this illustration will appear on page 176.

I hope you all had a wonderful time over the extended weekend, I sure did.

Very impressive!

Could you post a updated link for the discord server? The one I found does not work.

I’ve just seen that you’ve joined the Discord server, so I’m glad that it worked!

That’s ma boy! Well, I’m not a complete technophobe by any means, but take for example the invention of the car. It allowed the average man to travel further and faster than ever before. It was an absolute boon when it first came out, but then as more people acquired cars it lead to traffic jams and horrific crashes. Then came traffic lights to help deal with this, and road signs and this and that, more and more control mechanisms were put in place telling both drivers and non drivers what they could and couldn’t do when going about their daily lives. The car altered the shape and size of cities, making them less friendly to pedestrians. Before the car it was common place for a worker to be able to commute to their place of employment via a short walk. The distance between buildings was much smaller and the infrastructure organically formed in a way that goods and services were accessible to people’s houses. As cars became more common place, people could commute longer distances and eventually employers would come to expect this of their employees. This hermetically sealed man away from nature. You travel from one box (your home), to another box with wheels, then to your box of employment and back again, eat your takeaway food out of a box delivered to you by another person in a box with wheels, sleep in your box room and repeat. Small villages and towns, which would previously have most - if not every - need catered for, soon found local family run businesses closed down because people could just nip over to the nearest population centre to find better employment opportunities there. What at first was a liberating technology became an unintentional form of technological self-enslavement. What at first allowed you to go faster, thus freeing up time, eventually led to you being bogged down in congested roads and paying taxes for polluting the air. I could go on, but I think you get the point I’m making; I think AI will be this, but on steroids. It’s not hard to imagine that AI will have a greater impact on human life than the introduction of the automobile, the question is, will that impact be positive or negative…

Yeah I was able to figure it out!

Great question, and well illustrated reply. I’ll be cool to continue to see your fable of what not to do unfold!
