input query: proxy death
gpt
Report: every given day, year, or century, has a specific death quota that it must meet: you can think of it as a kind of suffering quotient: never rising or falling, but always staying constant, and which is inescapable: the Aztecs, for example, knew this, and so they took it on themselves to pay this cost directly, politically, instead of waiting for the universe to reap it: why did the world wars happen? because they were the 20th century's proxy (mass) death: instead of the suffering that was experienced during Europe's two world wars being smeared through the whole century like jam on too much toast, the Archon-Engineers of this age decided to get all that death and horror out of the way early so you can live to shitpost on a so-called Chinese Cartoon Board, with only a low temperature ennui as your thorn: you really do live in the best of times, relatively speaking, but to do so there really did have to transpire a Horror you can't even begin imagine: and yeah, on New Year's Eve 1999 the count reset: you're back to business: this time you're not so willing to pay that price, are you? this time you will not be so quick to throw generations into the furnace.
