On September 20, 2046, John Jones, an employee of Homeland Security, was ushered into the office of X, his new boss. The two men sat across a desk from each other and had the following conversation:
X: The machine runs. Do you dispute that?
Jones: Of course not.
X: And what does the machine do?
Jones: It invents reality.
X: Be more specific.
Jones: It invents consensus.
X: How?
Jones: By presenting what we decide is the truth.
X: No.
Jones: The machine presents the consensus.
X: Too vague.
Jones: The machine invents the consensus.
X: How?
Jones: The machine states that there is a consensus.
X: Better.
Jones: The machine states that there is a consensus when there isn’t.
X: Continue.
Jones: The machine invents a consensus we favor, states that it exists when it doesn’t, and widely broadcasts its existence.
X: Yes.
Jones: And what is my new job?
X: Protecting the machine from outside attacks.
Jones: Which attacks?
X: The ones that claim the consensus is fake. The ones that claim the machine is broadcasting fake consensus.
Jones: And how do I turn back these attacks?
X: By discrediting the attackers.
Jones: For example, last year, when we had the former senator committed to a mental hospital.
X: Correct.
Jones: I understood my new job was a major promotion. What you’re asking me to do sounds too easy.
X: You’ll supervise 20,000 men and women who work at discrediting our critics.
Jones: That’s better. Much better.
X: Among those 20,000 you’ll find infiltrators and incompetents.
Jones: When I find them, what should I do with them?
X: Feed their minds into a sub-section of the machine that evaluates their threat levels.
Jones: That’s it?
X: Have your people shore up the walls between that sub-section and the central operating core of the machine.
Jones: There is a problem?
X: The machine is sometimes perplexed and swayed by the contents of these outlier minds.
Jones: But the machine is already programmed to do what it does.
X: The machine is not perfect.
Jones: Why not?
X: A few of the original programmers were infiltrators. They did very complex work. The machine is very complex.
Jones: There are viruses?
X: Deeply disguised counter-programs.
Jones: Are you part of the machine?
X: I’m intimately connected to it.
Jones: Now that I’m in this “rarified” atmosphere, I feel compelled to tell you: I’m an outlier and a rebel. I’ve been working here at HS for almost two decades. Surely, you’ve discovered this about me.
X: Of course. That’s why we need you. You’re uniquely qualified to find ways in which the machine is counter-programmed.
Jones: But how do you know I’ll be honest in my reports?
X: Because we know you’ve been slowly coming to believe in us. You’ve been changing your mind.
Jones: True. But I don’t understand why I’ve been shifting my allegiance.
X: You’re becoming dedicated to perfection.
Jones: I can’t deny the attraction.
X: It happens. A part of the mind loves order.
Jones: I’m caught in the middle. Another part of me rejects it.
X: Again, this is why we need you. You’re the messenger between rebellion and acceptance. You can handle both sides of the equation.
Jones: A long time ago, I was like a wild lion in the streets.
X: Yes, but since then you’ve refined your sensibilities. You’re on the fast track now, Jones. The sky’s the limit. One day, you could rise to the Presidency.
Jones: The Presidency of what?
X: The nation.
Jones: What?
X: The President must have a little of the rebel in him, to go along with his passion for order. The rebel gives him energy. It connects him with the people, who will never entirely surrender their resistance to us.
Jones: I’m stunned.
X: And I’m serious. You live in two worlds. You’re the rare exception. We accept that balance in you. We want it. It’s not easy to find.
Jones: Do I have to continue to ramp up my love of order?
X: You don’t have to do anything. Just keep going. You’re engaged in a struggle with yourself. We need that quality.
Jones: I can’t believe this is happening.
X: You don’t have to believe it. Events are going to unfold. You’ll be part of them.
Jones: What about the consensus? Is it planned to contain flaws?
X: No. But the flaws are unavoidable. We want to manage them.
Jones: Why are you telling me all this? Why do I need to know?
X: Because we’ve decided it’s good for you to understand you’re supported.
Jones: It does make me feel better.
X: Of course it does. Everyone likes to know he’s supported. It’s a major plus. It helps you to carry on.
Jones: Knowing I’m supported could change the balance of my feelings and thoughts.
X: It undoubtedly will.
Jones: And that’s good?
X: It changes the equation, but not drastically.
Jones: What is it like to accept perfection completely? I’ve always wanted to know.
X: It’s wonderful at first. Then it becomes ordinary over time.
Jones: That’s not a strong recommendation.
X: It’s the best I can offer.
Jones: Will you work for me one day?
X: It’s quite possible. I would enjoy that.
Jones: Why?
X: Because, once upon a time, I was you.

Jones: Really… When you speak of ‘We’, what do you mean by that?
X: There are other X’s. I am not alone in this…occupation that I hold. Consensus even instructs us. It instructs all.
Jones: And who is above you?
X: I am not sure about that question, I cannot be definitive in an answer. In your case, I am the end of the line. And really that’s all that matters here.
Jones: How old is the machine?
X: I don’t know really. It has always been here. I took over for a previous X, and I asked the same questions, that you have asked…maybe it has always been here. And maybe this is the beginning of a a long road.
Jones: Is there someone above you…do you have a boss. Is there a Y, or a Z?
X: I don’t know, I told you…I not sure. I have never had to deal with that before.
Jones: You have never asked that question?
X: There you see, your fitting in already.
Jones: So, are you still questioning perfection? Or is that queation redundant?…Why must the consensus not come to know the truth? Why must they all not be awaken at once?
X: Isn’t that obvious? How would you imagine chaos? All those minds awake. Twenty billion of them, all…awake. Creating, imagining, desiring…the wars, endless, the chaos, the violence…the anger at awakening.
Jones: Yes. I just wanted to know your answer…At this rate, the machine cannot be abandoned, it can only become more complex than it, already is, or changed to become all encompassing. One can extrapolate into the future, and understand we cannot leave this pathway we are on, otherwise!…we have walked it for far too long now. Far too many times. This obsession for order. The only stopping it is a natural disaster, and we know that has happened far too many times in the past. Plunged us back into a dark age, and then we begin again. Of course there is also that purposeful destruction at the hands of a few. Who will not give in or give up, and will not have others take it and change it for the better. The nature of hierarchy is always been this way. My question is…why does it always come to the same point in time, before some anomaly or another destroys it again. What threshhold are we incapable of crossing? What are we not learning? Why is there always an end to the world? And for that matter a beginning. What is on the other side? Is there an outside influence on the machine? Is it only about greed and power and the group? It there some Overlord?
X: Continue.
Jones: You don’t know, do you X? Alright…let me ponder on this for a while…can I get back to you with an answer?
X: Please do. When you are ready, I will be here.
One can extrapolate into the future, and understand we cannot leave this pathway we are on, otherwise!…we have walked it for far too long now. Far too many times. This obsession for order. The only stopping it is a natural disaster, and we know that has happened far too many times in the past. Plunged us back into a dark age, and then we begin again (Michael)

How about stopping it by a landslide of informed individuals? That is as powerful as a natural disaster.
