    You got a lot of societies and governments

    Tryin to be God, wishin that they were God

    They wanna create satellites and cameras everywhere

    And make you think they got the all-seein eye

    Eh. I guess The Last Poets wasn't, too far off

    When they said that certain people got a God Complex

    I believe it's true

    I don't get phased out by none of that, none of that

    Helicopters, the TV screens, the newscasters, the

    Satellite dishes. they just, wishin

    They can't really never do that

    When they tell me to fear they law

    When they tell me to try to

    Have some fear in my heart behind the things that they do

    This is what I think in my mind

    And this is what I say to them

    And this is what I'm sayin, to you check it

    Deus Ex had a side conversation that was all about this. It was prescient and even more accurate decades later.

    These are the high thoughts of ShittyWallpaper. Thank you for watching this episode of the Gravel Institute. Like and subscribe for more videos that look like they were animated by the people who did Zoom in the 70’s

    It's crazy how sci-fi media from the 2000s really saw the expansion surveillance state pretty accurately. Sepulative sci-fi tends not to so accurately predict the future.
