In the spirit of random number generators, analogue predicative word machines derived from the Enigma and WWII hardware gesticulating the topography of espionage, the news headlines of the shock of the “Information Age” were beyond the dreams of mathematicians trapped by evolutionary intellectualism.
“Tree Births Chrome Baby Child”. “Heterosexual Male Garnishes Nobel Prize in Dichotomous Geology”. “Computer is Married to Human By a Computer in Reno”.
No predicative models or demented human imaginations were in existence during the mid-1900’s that could have forecasted the present day constructed of the surreal and the reshaping of the past through cutting-edge plastic surgery with all the depth of a superficial daydream where genders have disappeared and winning is obscure, and obscurity earns a prodigious participation trophy funded by tax-payers.
The demons of the 21st century are being exercised and not exorcised as society approaches the realm of an unknown jittery fate, as the dutifully surreal attempts to stifle reality. A casualty of this randomly wayward timeline, the current trajectory which allows for Feminists and Fascists a platform for dissent and not necessarily in that order as the general populace has forfeited the ability to comprehend definitions and concepts, amateur athletics beginning at the college level and trickling down to the ringers and legends of pre-school game in the style of Red Rover on the playground.
This adheres to the modern model ecosystem of college football and how it pertains to winning over the substantiative and the baleful essence of the misgivings associated with the implied.
In the electoral college system dictated by the wallowing NCAA, and ineffectual organization that is prematurely defunct, the era of super conferences ushered in a micro-league, as Texas State university joined the patchwork and refugees of the Pac-12 skeleton allowing teams in the expansive geographic footprint to become eligible for the newly expanded playoff format. The Bobcats based out of San Marcos, Texas, join Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, Oregon State, San Diego State, Utah State and Washington State, in 2026 as eight is the magic number to have a lucky member to be a part of the football tournament. Technically, the reformatted Pac-12 has nine members as Gonzaga will compete against the other schools in basketball, but does not field a football team.
With the crazed laboratory and stem cell research of beakers teeming with stem cells and experimental dogma, between the billions of dollars percolating through the NIL and conference reconfiguration, the tradition of amateur athletics has been cancelled, at least for the major sports. While fans, boosters and supporters dare to digest the normalization of volatility, revisionism continues to bludgeon perception as the 15-second attention span and reactionism lead to corrosive edits.
The past is dying a slow and painful death which results in a fertile breeding ground for demagogues preying on humanity through confusion and hysteria. Whether the delivery of the opaque entrepreneurship comes through sports, politics, or propaganda, Orwell’s dusty foreboding warnings from the past continue to haunt the future for those who practice discretion through wisdom.
