March 6 - DEATH!!

Death!! represented by John Von Neumann. His portrait is surrounded by a series of rays and circles representing projects he was involved in, ranging from ENIAC and EDVAC and the development of quantum mechanics, to the Manhattan Project, game theory, and cellular automata.

An inevitable and total transformation, possibly painful, but not necessarily The End...

A lot of anti-tech sentiment seems to wish that we could just put certain things back in the box. But the world where the technology that provides connection and access to information was entangled by its maybe well-intentioned originators with military and surveillance culture, game theory and bombs, is the world we have.

I always found the PVP gimmick for MGSV's online mode to be weirdly inspiring... if we want to live in a world without the atomic bomb, it'll have to be one where we took them all apart with our own hands. And it'll be one where the knowledge that it was made at one time will also always be a thing. How we frame it is up to us... there is no going back. How terrifying, how wonderful.
