This story is a missive from 2019. When I wrote it, I had no idea how crazy things were about to get.
It’s funny to think about it now, as we are approaching the second anniversary of the “rare but narrow window of opportunity to reflect, reimagine, and reset our world” (according to Klaus Schwab).
I wrote it on my first experimental Substack (which has since been completely abandoned in favor of this one, so there is nothing happening there; I started it in 2019 as a way of gradually writing a book about my life—but then 2020 happened, and writing a book about my life suddenly felt unimportant.)
But this morning, on day three of supposedly mostly withdrawn mandates in New York (what generosity lol), a scream wanted to come out—and I remembered my essay about a human being stuck inside the Machine. This dynamic is very much at play now—only in a very exaggerated way.
(Warning for the well-mannered people: the story uses some playful language and images. It was the peaceful time, remember? And as I am typing it, I am realizing that, wow, there used to be a time when the old normal was just, well normal—as wobbly as it was in 2019! On the one hand, I miss it badly: the ease of it, and being just an artist doing my art, as opposed to, you know, all those anti-totalitarian things that life compelled us to do post-2020. On the other hand, the past two years were strangely very useful, and I am a more balanced person now. Under the massive pressure from the Machine and the circumstance, I grew a spine I didn’t know I had, and I feel stronger, happier, and a lot more like myself. I totally despise the bullying and the censorship and the abusive Great Reset but I am confident that in the end, our spirits will prevail. Today’s representatives of the Machine, Klaus Schwab and whoever else, are flattering themselves assuming that they can control this world. They can’t. They won’t. A lot more people will be forced to grow spines, we’ll rise, fear and pain will fall off one day, and our love will melt their scams. That’s my prediction anyway.

I still remember IBM belittling the idea of personal computers since why would anyone want a mainframe computer in their home.
I still recall Billy Gates and MS being completely blindsided by Netscape's browser.
On an on throughout history, there have been people who think they've got it all figured out. Historically, they have always been wrong.
The problem we face today is we have lost our compass. We have demons and psychopaths infesting our societies yet people seem more focused on promoting an "it's all good" mentality then they are with doing (and saying) what is right.
I read an article where one of the leading soft drink manufacturers was working on a vending machine that would automatically raise the price when the temperature increased. I've related they story to lots of people and many of them think that idea is ingenious or good business.
I think it is demonic.
We are becoming a myopic species with primary focus on money, instant gratification, and youth. A trend no doubt being deliberately promoted by the people with control of the money. Shorten the attention span and it is easier to drive the populace. It is also easier to conceal the truth. They lie much faster than you can prove they are lying.
However, only love and truth create. Indifference and deceit can only destroy. Eventually they consume themselves and everyone around them.
Keep up the good work Tessa. You're a beacon.
The evil is insurmountable evil. Those people are killing us in order to merge their sick fantasies into a lesser world of their liking to let go of beautiful and soul like humanity that are us.
The past two years have been hell and back even though I live in a country that has never been closed down, like NZ, Australia, UK, US, Spain, Austria, Thailand, South Africa and on and on…… My heart goes out to all those that has suffered meaningless death and devastation because of their whims to rule over the planet and play their awful games while laughing at us, We the people, behind their closed castle ivory tower doors.
The people of the world is slowly coming to an awareness and an awakening about all of the thick lies that has been there since way way way back. It is a rude awakening for many and it takes compassion from all of us to ease all this and do the necessary healing now and forward.
I just listened to the truckers that talked with senator Ron Johnson and Ted Cruz together with Dr Pierre Cory and Dr Paul Alexander. VERY moving to hear stories that are out there even though only a fraction of them where lifted. Each individual, each person, we all have a story of hardship, suffering and tremendous amount of loneliness and hopelessness brought on by actually non human like people that has anointed themselves as rulers. They were never chosen by We the people.
They all have to go, to be held accountable for their heinous crimes against humanity.
We are not meant to be a merge between AI and their edited and altered human.
We are HUMAN and We shall continue to be HUMAN
the way they never can be as they have no souls.
