The day will come again when I am labeled by some new form of mindful algorithm and I must argue that label’s validity and meaning.

The conversation will end like this:

Me: Your algorithm needs work. Them: No, it’s fine. You need work.

The act of debate will have been offloaded to a set of trained conditions and conditioners, which I will have failed or will still be failing. Neither of us will learn anything new. The conclusion will depend only on the severity of the label and the power split between us. Exactly as expected.

Truth and justice will be lost in the process as I succumb to the gross new label of rot.
