00:00Gotta stay positive, despite traveling a long way in a late night city with parking problems

00:08and walking all this way, I'm sure it'll be worth it.

00:11Get my mind off of unemployment, debt, and the usual struggles of living in low income

00:16poverty.

00:17Hold it!

00:18I'm authority!

00:19I keep everyone and everything safe!

00:22You look suspicious.

00:23Well, I have a ticket for here and-

00:25You shall pass.

00:27Thanks?

00:28Hey!

00:29It's closed!

00:30Officer!

00:31Ask for the ticket!

00:32Oh, that thing.

00:33Let me just get the paperwork.

00:34Just sign here.

00:35So, do I get a special discount on the latest technology?

00:39A rare once in a lifetime offer, my friend.

00:42It's legally yours now.

00:44Enjoy.

00:45Alright, now let's see.

00:47Welcome to the latest and most state of the art technology known to humankind.

00:51To date, all of your data has been scanned and validated by law.

00:55No need to do anything else.

00:57I just did that on its own, and like everything in my public persona, I get zillions of views

01:03and subscribers.

01:04So don't ask me why and how, because I'm the richest and most powerful content creator

01:09on the internet ever.

01:11Whoever I am.

01:12Cool.

01:13It's like another dimension.

01:15Another reality.

01:16And I'm better than you in every way.

01:17Okay, how do I exit?

01:18You can't.

01:19Attempting to exit, shut down your social media, have any sort of privacy boundaries,

01:24or even turning off your electronic device, with or without the internet, is against the law.

01:29Besides, you signed your life away.

01:31What did you just say?

01:32You sold your soul to the devil.

01:34What are you talking about?

01:36Technology is supposed to be a tool that benefits people's lives, not technology having power

01:40over people's lives.

01:42BOOM!

01:43Ugh, cyberbullies, trolls, and jerks on the internet.

01:46We want to keep our internet community safe.

01:49Thanks.

01:50What are you talking about?

01:51You violated our social media community guidelines, so therefore you will be silenced, censored,

01:58and arrested.

01:59You agreed to everything.

02:00How can any of this possibly be legal?

02:02You haven't sent me to prison yet, and those who question power and authority will be punished.

02:09Different from the normal.

02:11Anyone who worships me like a god, the truth teller is your enemy.

02:15All I have to do is scratch all the powerfully sticky tape off of this door of truth, which

02:22keeps it from being opened?

02:24A dream, a nightmare, that's all it was.

02:28Life may not be perfect, and there's a war outside my door, but I know that I'm living

02:35in a free country, so therefore evil is rare, I'm safe, and privileged.

02:40That's right.

02:41You're loved.

02:42You're not alone.

02:43You're good.

02:44You don't need to think for yourself.

02:45No need to question authority and power, allowing us to put a computer chip in your brain.

02:50What?

02:51Ah!

02:52Who are you?
