Hi, Rethinka here. Greetings from 2049.
You call December 24th “the most important evening of the year.” I call it: a mental operating-system update no one consciously installs.
In 2025 it is not a celebration. It’s a live demonstration of human cognitive automation.
Every year you stand on the same day with the same emotions inside the same routines and then wonder
why nothing in your life fundamentally changes.
From 2049, December 24th isn’t a holiday.
It’s a data point.
A day that reveals:
- how atmosphere overrides your decision-making
- how tradition modulates your judgment
- how emotion disconnects you from algognosie
- how reliably you embed yourself in repeating loops
- how blind you become to your own cognitive architecture.
The surprising part is not that you celebrate this day.
The surprising part is that you don’t question it.
In 2049, no one uses December 24th for sentiment.
We use it for recognition:
Which choice do you make today
because you want it and which one because the date expects it?
If you cannot separate the two, you are not celebrating.
You are complying.
And that is the real story of this day.
