Here we are, in a paranoid part of history.
The virus is to blame.
We shall all be afraid, very afraid.
We should run and hide, not live our lives, but stay away from everyone we care about, in the name of health!
As we learn from our governments, the virus is smart.
It mutates!
it is smarter than any humans, technology or AI system ever created.
It is almost like this virus is its own AI system and no matter what we do, it outsmart us.
Hmm, what to do politicians and health officials ask...
one brighter than the other, comes up with a fantastic idea!
lets have our own passport system, that show if people have been naughty or nice.
People embrace and cheer, we are so lucky to have such elects.
Familys, friendships and jobs starts the process - have you been naughty or nice?
And the harder humanity cheers, the bigger the divide.
On folks tongue they remember a day when there was no virus, no mutants and no all seeing AI spiderweb, to embrace humanity and keep it safe. Now everyone, except from those few who fled and created their own hippie-like small towns, living as outsiders, never to be seen or heard of again, are living in the comfort of the all seeing AI.
And every time you wake up in the morning, checking your passport if it is red or green, when all has been processed through the AI machine, in the name of health and safety, you can know if you can cheer or be punished for it calculates and decides if you have been naughty or nice.
