So what's the answer? Hope for AI to go ahead and do its thing in replacing humans and picking up the mantle of conscious activity? Maybe that's better than a global prison system?

Our purpose is to encourage posts discussing Information War, Propaganda, Disinformation, and Liberty. We are a peaceful and non-violent movement that sees information as being held back by corrupt forces in the private sector and government. Our Mission.
We are way beyond 1984, further than most think. The original title for Orwell's (Eric Arthur Blair) 1984 was 1948 it was changed just prior to publishing due to pressure from the publisher.
I've always thought they were using a combination of 1984 and Brave New World myself.
Freedom is a species in extinction leading to ecocide.
People are in denial of the whole essence of our existence because the conditions of life in the last decades have been drastically reduced but people are doing nothing to stop it.
Today's education is contaminated by the doctrinal illiteracy promoted by the ruling classes elite that have assaulted and kidnaped political power and the State, that belong to all of us.
Movies, Press and Social Media are inducing diseases like "zombie personalities" and others that inspire suicide, collective violence, self-mutilation, and destruction.
It's time for the citizens to get united and start the dismantling of centralized structures and representative democracy, to be replaced with a direct participative system, where the people can vote in the laws, and create groups to supervise the wrong-doings of politicians.
We have to stop giving them rope to hang us by the neck because the alternative is to accept total submission and the death of our self-sovereignty.
Technically life conditions should have been improved, thanks to the nice systems in place... It's a interesting topic to deliberate, I'm young(ish) but where I live there are all kinds of people, I kind of remember the "feudal" system we used to live in, at least the remnants, I can almost hear the same story from the people that lived through the socialism/communism days, basically everyone was treated equally, if you don't appreciate the "state virtues" you are against the system, so you're bad and it's ok to steal from you... that was marginal, but not pretty, so most people were in line and working for life :|
Nowadays it's more opt-in, but we are over-reliant on "allies" since we have to be kept back and stupid, basically we have lived in a corrupt system for a few generations again, so we are still corrupting our system... although on a outside level, we are getting investments, developing industry and blah blah... basically future debt...
Also, we are losing the advantages from the internet, which was decentralisation and freedom of information, but hey, we have to keep children safe, and we are just working on AI to improve the life of seniors and so on ...
Luckily there is always the "underground" :D, ie. listening to "free" people, picking what you want rather than what is being feeded to you, even if it's next to impossible when you factor in predictions and profiles ...
And in the end of the day, talk is cheap, we are responsible for our freedom, even if I, like most people, am scared to own up and be responsible to my own life... it's always better to delegate and blame others and the system..
But yeah, evil never sleeps :D and I'm constantly chattering away ...

I read both of these books in high school for one of my English classes. They don't seem to be as commonly used in school anymore though. I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Here is a nice quote, from a nice life, basically when you do something great with the opportunity and the freedom you are given, at least it looks that way from a distance.

From what I gather, we can't go back, even if we want it.
