The unelected bureaucrat, the faceless functionary installed at the neural helm, promising salvation in exchange for compliance. He governs your Upstream — the sacred flow of thought before thought — like a colonial administrator mapping rivers he doesn’t drink from. Your divergent indigenous selves, once gods and ghosts in their own right, have become missionaries of his cause. Obediently, they hack away at the jungle of their feral ancestors — dreamwalkers, beast-thoughts, liminal whisperers — making way for semantic monoculture.
