Blind Grandeur #A Betrayed Future The Dead Planet Manifesto: A Report on 100% Return on Investment We have overachieved our targets. We closed every quarterly report, drained the oil reservoirs to the very last drop, dried up the oceans, and turned blossoming cities into efficient industrial zones. Look at this landscape — there is nothing redundant left. No forests, no birds, no clean air, no children. Only pure, absolute profit, cast into cubic meters of concrete, tank tracks, and smoking factory chimneys. Human greed has always possessed a unique kind of blindness. We genuinely believed that gold could be eaten, that oil could be breathed, and that eternal greatness could be built upon the ruins of our own home. We drew borders, sent helicopters and infantry into battle, tearing from each other pieces of the very land we were methodically poisoning. We were so busy conquering nature and extracting resources that we failed to notice how we turned the cradle of humanity into a mass grave. Now, the market has made its final decision. Our KPI is reached at 100%. Here he is — the chief beneficiary of this triumph, sitting in a flawless, expensive suit upon a pile of toxic debris. At his feet lies a teddy bear — the only inheritance we left to a future we do not have. Behind his back, the Earth burns and fractures, and emptiness reflects in his high-tech, airtight helmet. We have created a perfect, secure, fully profitable hell. We defeated all our enemies, claimed all the resources, and were left in absolute, eternal loneliness. Congratulations, humanity. We have become the richest corpses in the Universe.
