> [@Chronos](#): > > OK, somebody clue me in. I’ve never heard of “In the year 2525”. A song by a one-hot wonder duo called Zager & Evans, which hit number one for six straight weeks in 1969. It’s a gloom-and-doom scenario about the future of mankind, in which increasingly dystopian milestones are reached in conveniently rhyming years. So in the year 2525, we won’t be able to tell lies, since “everything you think, do, and say is in the pill you took today.” Other milestones include the abolition of marriage as test tube babies become the means for reproduction and the atrophy of physical activity as machine labor replaces people’s work. ---
