The odds

As machine learning drains the coffers of private equity investors, there are more interesting predictions to think about. For example, there is a country in the West that nourished democracy for over two hundred years and now it could possibly lose it. The odds are even as the man with artificial hair and more artificial humanity is riding high with the support of half his country. In the East, the efforts of the founders of a large country to create a modern democracy are in vain as it drifts toward something based on religion, destroying its secular democratic roots forever.

The odds are high that the world is heading toward hell. It is not surprising as humans seldom showed humanity and now, they do not have to. The leader of the West allowed the quiet thoughts of most into the open and in the East, it has always been about the Gods and Goddesses. And the man in charge differentiates between the types of Gods and religions, it makes most rational people vomit in disgust.

As rationality shrinks and capable leaders leave the stage, the eternal darkness descends. The odds are high there is no escape.
