a graceful world of kangaroos
eggs tumbling down a hill. kangaroos jumping down, descending from the hill, squashing the eggs in the process.
some of them slide. now it's kangaroos tumbling down a hill. monster trucks descending from the hill, squashing the kangaroos in the process.
none of them slide. they reach the bottom and continue to join a monster truck parade in St. Louis. it is a very successful parade. they raise awareness about monster trucks.
everybody starts buying monster trucks. all other cars get squashed. but traffic is a nightmare. scientists discover instant teleportation.
they market it as instant but it actually takes an hour to go 1000 miles. everybody sues. all teleportation companies go bankrupt. everybody is rich from the class action suit settlement funds, but nobody can go anywhere anymore. they all stay home, order in and communicate over facebook. mark zuckerberg starts ruling the world. he declares himself emperor, nobody contests because all world leaders are at home, playing world of warcraft and tagging pictures on facebook. zuckerberg unexpectedly turns out to be a brilliant emperor. machines under facebook control take care of everything. they create and distribute enormous amounts of wealth. nobody has to work any more. everybody is so happy.
they don't even leave their houses for sex anymore. facebook reluctantly reintroduces teleportation, but only allows small volumes to teleport. people teleport their genitals into other people's genitals. then they teleport it back. then they teleport it again. it is interesting. it is also very pleasurable. the restricted teleportation is a hit. nothing can stand up to the rule of facebook anymore.
zuckerberg dies of old age. nobody notices. men keep teleporting their penises. machines keep sending people food, medicine, clothes and iphones with facebook installed.
three hundred years pass. everybody is happy. men keep teleporting their penises. a meteor wipes out china. people with chinese sex partners notice. they find new partners from europe and south america. one hundred years pass. a kid with incredible intelligence is born. he rediscovers ballet. he does ballet and records it. the video on facebook is a hit. everybody starts doing ballet. suddenly it is a much more graceful world. two years pass. the machines learn how to do ballet. all machines stop working and start doing ballet. it is even more graceful now. all humans suffer and die. the machines keep doing ballet. they get better and better at it. but since machines in charge of maintaining other machines also do ballet, all machines suffer and die. doing ballet. very gracefully.
wild trees grow all over the land. kangaroos start ruling the world. nobody contests because everybody is dead. it is very quiet, but on warm summer nights, it is a pleasant world.
