Everything’s under control. Sure, the controls are a bit old — nah, it’s not quite like a dice roll, it’s all still working, kind of, all told.
Not to worry, everything’s fine, all systems are still online even if it looks like some redlines are warning us of flaws in the design.
Sure, a failure happened before that had lots of troubles in store, hordes of red flags that could not be ignored but were anyway. Led to one or two wars
but it’s OK, we fixed it back then without needing to count down from ten. Shut down your doubts, say yes and amen — What, me worry? That’s our kind of Zen.
Inspired by this photo I took of a decrepit looking utility access point on a semi-abandoned 1970s concrete and aluminum building in Berlin: https://bsky.app/profile/jackgroundhog.bsky.social/post/3lgyhhnr5vc23
