Morphologies of Flatness

AND YET ANOTHER continuous simplification of political discourse unknowingly give birth to a surreal, unvalley canny of technocratic experience, where the citizenry, enamored by varied yet shallow covers of simulated comradery, slips into political indifference, its critical faculties numbed by the unrelenting surge of alluring, yet vacuous rhetoric, a situation mirroring Baudrillard's hypnotic screen appeal in "Simulacra and Simulation," where real and fake distinctions become more and more negligible, and citizens, lost in their echoed reflections, overcome the grip of political realism UNLINKING an utopia of superficial diversity, seeded in lossless disillusionment, where The Synthetic Party torches as the planet's maiden AI-driven political party, established in 2022 in Denmark by the artist group “Computer Lars”, an anagrammatic reconfiguration of “Marcel Proust”, championing techno-populism, radical democracy, and transhumanism, with AI-derived policies from a dataset of fringe parties post-1970; creating the initiative for an 18th UN SDG, "Life With Artificials," in collaboration with the tech-hub MindFuture; and the endorsement of a 100,000-kroner ($13K) universal basic income, vastly exceeding the mean Danish income; and with a measly 11 signatures out of the requisite 20,000 to run for parliament, the party keeps alive dialogues worldwide, with les citoyens de Finland, Japan, or Moldova, about manifesting localized Synthetic Party duplicates."
