Once again, thanks for posting.
I particularly found 'Kalinka' the most moving. We are all just children deep down and we all need love to survive.
As for whether humanity is 'flying into the abyss' or whether we're simply going to become surplus to requirements in the coming age of AI, I don't know.
Nevertheless, let's not despair too much. Most people, I find, are just trying to keep their heads above water whilst they chase the next dollar, pound, rouble etc. This includes artists too.
It's those few that are pulling the strings who should be worried as more and more people begin to wake up.
