Part 8/15:
The Wheel of Progress: Running in Circles
Metaphorically, society is like a wheel spinning at breakneck speed—destined to crush those beneath it, with no clear direction or leadership.

The driving force is externalized, impersonal, and relentless, much like an AI strip-mining resources without end.
