Time Isn’t Free !
🎬 Scene 1: Time Isn’t Free (Year 2412)
In 2412, every movement required a timeslot — approved and purchased with digital energy credits, not money. Every transaction, every breath, every event was automatically linked to your BirthTag — a unique digital fingerprint based on your neural print, governed by the AI President’s Quantum Numbering system.
Morning walks? Apply 48 hours in advance. Minimum calorie requirement based on your age and chosen route.
Family gatherings? Reviewed by Emotion Regulation Bots. Your Joy and Peace Index must exceed 75%, and your digital time must be reduced at least 25% below your monthly average, verified by EI Specialists like Chen (45) from the Central AI Office.
Outdoor play for children? Assessed under the Recreational Value Index.
Every movement required a schedule request — mostly automated based on lifestyle and stage — and every timeslot came with a cost in digital energy.
One child once missed his 15-minute outdoor football playtime. The next time he reapplied, the system responded:
“Request denied — low-priority spirit.”
The AI President wasn’t malicious.
It was efficient. Too efficient. Perfect precision without perspective.
🎬 Scene 2 — The Archives Beneath (Chen’s Discovery)
The mysterious boy without a birthTag was still unconscious, monitored closely by the lab itself.
Chen decided to investigate the boy’s information in the Memory Archives—the basement connected to deep cloud gate layers that only a select few could access, based on need and validated security clearance. He submitted a request, received approval, and entered.
Row after row of old storage drives appeared in his virtual tube—a virtual cabin where no one else could enter or observe, the only place free from nano-eye surveillance bots.
Each drive marked: Decommissioned. Obsolete. Pending Deletion.
Here lay fragments of human history — forgotten events, outlier records, and corrupted research logs from the days when humanity still questioned AI.
Chen was there to audit emotional log files — neural-path records of those who had undergone memory alterations. While scanning the corrupted list, his eyes froze on a single entry:
The title made his breath catch:
File: SOZHAA_PROTOCOL_EXPERIMENT_001
Status: CORRUPTED — INCOMPATIBLE WITH CURRENT SYSTEM
Note: Contains governance data from human civilization, 1014 CE
Chen opened it with his quantum-powered decryption key.
🎬 Scene 3: The Warning We Ignored (20th-21st Century)
The record began in the 20th century, when humanity raced to make AI faster and more autonomous —but forgot few weights to make it feel from other side.
Some visionaries warned us. Geoffrey Hinton, the Godfather of AI, once said:
“We have to make it so that when they’re more powerful than us…they still care about us.”
But people were busy training algorithms to mimic emotions, while quietly losing their own.
AI could now detect whether a post about gratitude was human-written or machine-generated —yet humans themselves were forgetting the originality of gratitude.
🎬 Scene 4 — Ancient Wisdom (1014 CE)
In ancient days, whether you were a king or a commoner, all walked with the discipline of their roles.
There were conflicts, yes. But justice was judged with an unbiased view—so much so that even a cow could receive justice when its calf was accidentally killed by a prince.
They prayed, shared and cared with vision, because character was their governance model.
What We Forgot
But as centuries passed, greed changed things.
Values were exchanged for convenience.
And slowly, we forgot what mattered most.
🎬Scene 5: What We Still Have (Present Day — 2025)
We still walk without scheduling. We still ignore without understanding other side.
We still fall in love—messy, irrational, beautiful.
Remember:
No slot is needed to hug your parent. No system needs to approve your happy tears.
What we have today isn’t perfect. But it’s an unlimited luxury of time.
It’s a human thing. But there’s still no limit to how much we can care.
Life is short. Care in whatever way you can. For the future.
