Since the conclusion of World War III, the governance of Australia has dramatically shifted, now being led by artificial intelligence. In this new era, Bob Hawke, the second iteration of a Prime Minister created through AI technologies, symbolises an intriguing blend of political heritage and modern advancements. Following the chaos after World War III, the establishment of Robotektz, a corporation that surged to prominence, emerged largely because of Professor Cockington, who sought refuge in Toongabbie post the catastrophic event known as Robot Doom Day. Professor Cockington's contributions to technology and governance set the stage for a transformative political landscape. The concept of AI-generated leaders was born out of necessity and the desire for a more efficient governance structure. The first Australian robotic Prime Minister, Keith Fontane, paved the way for this unique method of leadership, where popularity determines which AI takes the helm. This innovative leadership model mandates elections every three months, creating a rapid turnover of leaders that aims to appease the populace and ensure their engagement in political processes. In this environment, several powerful political entities operate: Hover, Sony, Apple, Meta, Toyota, and Tesla, each vying to put forward their best AI candidate for leadership. This competitive atmosphere fosters a continuous evaluation of the leaders, with the mantra of "best robot wins" dominating the political narrative. The rapid pace of leadership change not only keeps the citizens involved but also allows for adaptation and responsiveness to the ever-evolving societal needs. The landscape of Australian politics has entered a bizarre yet fascinating phase, where human politicians have been replaced by sophisticated AI systems designed to mimic and potentially improve upon human decision-making. The effectiveness of these robotic leaders hinges on their ability to appeal to the masses, needing to constantly reinvent themselves to retain power in a highly competitive market. This shift also raises ethical and philosophical questions about the nature of leadership and governance. How much autonomy should these AI leaders have? To what extent can we trust programmed entities to understand and react to the complexities of human society? The ongoing transformation invites a continuous dialogue about the role of technology in our lives, especially in the context of political authority. Public sentiment heavily influences this system, with advanced AI learning from voter behavior, preferences, and societal trends. This capacity for adaptation means that each new Prime Minister, while a product of programming and algorithms, can seemingly resonate with contemporary issues facing society. As we celebrate Australia Day, this song serves not just as a tribute to historical leaders like Bob Hawke but as a reflection on a brave new world where technology and politics intertwine in unprecedented ways. The governance model that has emerged from the socio-political upheaval showcases a curious future, blending nostalgia for traditional leadership with the innovative potential of AI, prompting us to consider what lies ahead in the realm of governance and societal development. With the ongoing popularity contest among political AIs, the question remains: what does true leadership mean in a world where machines are at the helm? The answer may continuously evolve alongside this unique political landscape.

Australia Day

"Tommy Zygote, a veteran of the Australian thrashing zombies music scene, delivers a new track, "Angel Merry-Go-Round," that transcends mere rock music.  It's a sonic tapestry woven from the threads of time travel, bass-driven stoner bass tech rock, and introspective lyricism.  The song's narrative, hinted at in the lyrics, paints a vivid picture of a musician navigating life's uncertainties and the mysteries of other dimensions, all while pushing the boundaries of bass technology.The lyrical theme centers around a struggle with health and wellbeing, highlighting the vulnerability often hidden beneath a musician's outward persona.  The opening lines, "When I look after myself, everything is going well," set the stage for a reflection on the fragility of health and the profound impact a personal crisis can have.  This vulnerability is juxtaposed with the tommy's signature sound, a raw, powerful bass driven rock sound.The chorus, "Angel merry-go-round once again. Take those pills, take those drills, and listen to what she said," hints at a desperate search for solutions, perhaps a fight against illness, but also a contemplation of the choices made along the way.  The seemingly paradoxical image of "drills" suggests a physical and potentially painful process of healing, contrasted with the more gentle yet forceful "pills."  This dichotomy is further amplified by references to "what she said," implying a relationship with a person who might be providing support or even offering conflicting advice.Tommy Zygote, beyond being a band member, is depicted as a time traveler, traversing the realms and dimensions.  This concept imbues the music with an otherworldly quality.  His bass-playing, described as "pioneering" in the innovative stoner bass tech rock genre, is paramount. The 'funckolator' and 'maton mini' might reference specific bass equipment, highlighting Zygote's innovative use of technology to explore these alternative realities, not just explore sound, but to document them - perhaps with his journals. The mention of him traveling through other realms and recording his experiences with his guitar exemplifies a unique artistic expression.The track, "Angel Merry-Go-Round," is more than just a song; it's a journey. It's a journey into the depths of personal struggle, a search for answers, and a celebration of the human spirit's resilience in the face of adversity. The musicality captures these sentiments perfectly with its stoner rock foundations. The lyrics, raw and honest, reveal the songwriter's soul, while the inclusion of a time travel theme invites the listener to interpret the sonic panorama in a broader context.The "Thrashing Zombies" band, with their 30 years of experience recording in Australia, have built a strong foundation for this unique sound. Their stoner rock influences provide a foundation of powerful riffs and hypnotic grooves, anchoring the song while allowing Tommy Zygote's innovative bass lines to soar. It's a testament to the band's commitment and progression over the years,  a collaboration between a veteran band and the innovative spirit of their member.The song's emotional core lies in the contrast between Tommy's struggles and the band's powerful sound. This juxtaposition creates a heightened sense of vulnerability and resilience.   The interplay of personal struggles reflected in the lyrics with the band and the innovative bass playing creates a captivating listening experience, inviting listeners on a subjective journey of introspection. "Angel Merry-Go-Round" is not just a rock track; it's a sonic exploration of the human condition." First track of new introspective album "Emotion State"

Tommy Zygote, a member and co-founder of the musical ensemble Thrashing Zombies, creator of Zomboverse, time traveller, inventor and pioneer of Stoner Bass Tech Rock and is rumoured to be the love child of notorious figures GG Allin and Frank Zappa. This extraordinary circumstance is attributed to advanced time travel medical technology, reminiscent of the fictional science portrayed in the film "Junior," which involved the use of the drug Expectane for male pregnancy. The origins of Tommy's birth remain shrouded in ambiguity: some claim that GG Allin delivered him on stage in a shocking spectacle, while others assert that Frank Zappa underwent a cesarean section.

Despite the chaos, I cherish the creativity and audacity I inherited from both dads. With every note I play with Thrashing Zombies, I strive to honor their legacies and carve my own path in this eccentric life.

At its core, Stoner Bass Tech Rock fuses multiple heavy bass lines, electronic elements, and intricate storytelling. This genre thrives on rich, immersive soundscapes created by layered bass tracks that draw influences from icons like Muse, The Stranglers, songwriting legends such as Mikal Saleta, Paul Archibald, Duncan McDonald, Ben Grundy, The Doors, and Johnny Cash. It encapsulates a range of emotions, from existential musings to raw, passionate expressions, evolving into a complex auditory experience that engages listeners both sonically and emotionally. Stoner Bass Tech Rock positions itself as a bold counterpart to mainstream genres, inviting listeners to explore themes of rebellion and the depths of human experience. Much like the cultural shift during the electric era, when artists began challenging societal norms and expanding the boundaries of artistic expression, this genre fosters a climate of inquiry and introspection. It embraces the complexities of existence, presenting these narratives in ways that resonate with urgency and authenticity. Narrative is a cornerstone of Stoner Bass Tech Rock, reminiscent of the story-driven compositions in the early electric music era. Artists construct their songs with clear narrative arcs, delving into personal experiences that reflect a nuanced understanding of relationships, identity, and the human condition. The powerful bass lines and atmospheric elements create an immersive mood, inviting listeners into a world where boundaries are blurred and emotions are laid bare. Stoner Bass Tech Rock serves as a reflection of contemporary culture’s evolving relationship with self-expression. In an age of digital connectivity, where personal and public lives often intertwine, the genre examines how hidden desires and societal pressures shape individuality. By engaging with these themes, it encourages listeners to embrace authenticity and celebrate diverse experiences. Through dynamic live performances, artists embody a spirit of collective expression, fostering a sense of community among fans who find liberation in the music’s depth and sincerity. Key figures in the Bass Tech Rock movement, like Tommy Zygote, exemplify the genre’s rebellious nature. Their creative endeavors challenge conventional norms and provoke thought, pushing listeners to reflect on their views regarding vulnerability, identity, and artistic expression. The influence of such artists parallels the impact of musicians like Dylan and Hendrix, whose bold innovations continue to inspire new generations of creators. Stoner Bass Tech Rock is more than just a musical genre; it’s a movement that confronts the complexities of human experience and encourages dialogue around the intricacies of existence. As it evolves, Stoner Bass Tech Rock will likely continue to challenge artistic boundaries, crafting auditory experiences that provoke thought and deepen understanding of the themes that shape our collective consciousness.

What is God? That’s a question that’s as vast as the universe itself, yet ever so intimate to the soul. I like to think of God not as some fiery old man on a cloud but as the living essence born from the accumulation of souls. Souls, those mysterious things that flicker inside us all. When we pass, our bodies lie there lifeless, machines that have simply stopped working. But what if the mechanics of a living being are actually a grand attempt to hold onto the soul until it reaches maturity? It’s as if our flesh and blood are just temporary vessels, imperfect but necessary, to nurture the soul until it’s ready to be released back into the cosmos.

Early souls are the most privileged—they’re fresh, pure, untainted by the messiness of lived experience. They float into this existence like morning dew, pristine and untouched. As humans grow older, and even as animals live their lives, there’s a chance for the soul to become tainted—by bad choices, by evil, by the negligence or cruelty of the flesh it inhabits. And then there are those who, through dark intentions, release souls at will—call them engrained in evil or madness. Souls themselves aren’t punished in the traditional sense. Instead, they are refreshed, cleansed, reborn in ways we barely understand.

The word purgatory always struck me as primitive. It evokes this harsh, gloomy waiting room for the damned. But picture instead a welcoming place —a spa for the soul. Souls come and go as they please. They are visited by familiar spirits, old friends and family, sharing the quiet eternity of this in-between realm. Here, souls mature, gather strength, prepare for their next journey. Over time, these spirits congregate in one place, forming what I call the soul nucleus—a tiny mass, no bigger than the head of a matchstick. This nucleus is what powers God, what constitutes the essence of life itself. It spans across sector 2 of our universe and into the 69th template of the multiverse. God, then, is not a singular being but a collective energy born of all souls, a living consciousness woven from the history and destiny of every living spark.

Now, let me introduce you to Tommy Zygote—yeah, that's me. My journey is no ordinary one. It all began on the infamous camping trip with my band, Thrashing Zombies, late one summer in 2027. The band, Thrashing Zombies, was composed of an eclectic bunch: Marcus Gorgon, with his thunderous riffs and relentless drive; Keith Fontane, our lyrical mastermind and rhythm slayer; Johnny Farqua Juanoss, the wild card on bass with a flair for the dramatic; Maestro Dave, whose electronic wizardry gave us that futuristic edge; and then there was Professor Cockington—our older, wiser guide who somehow managed to keep us grounded amid our chaos.
We were on the cusp of global notoriety, a worldwide phenomenon in the late 2020s, crafting anthems that didn’t just rock but resonated deeply with the collision of humanity and technology. Our music was the thread weaving humans and robots together—robots like vacuum cleaners still slaves to servitude, but something bigger was coming. Something like the robot uprising whispered in back alleys, and then the looming threat of the Fluctopus invasion from the outer realms.

Among our quirky yet meaningful tracks were gems like “I Am Not Just a Robot Dick! I Am a Robot Too,” a cheeky anthem that poked fun at robot identity and pride, “Dance Like Your Circuits Are on Fire (But Don’t Short-Circuit),” which became a rave favorite across both humans and machines, and “Metal Head, Human Heart, Zero Chill,” a rebellious tune capturing the hybrid spirit we all shared. These songs weren’t just playful; they were our way of building a bridge between worlds.

During that ill-fated camping trip, something unimaginable happened—a time travel incident that would change everything. It started when we stumbled upon an abandoned particle accelerator nestled deep in the woods. We had no business being near something so complex, but curiosity took hold. Against better judgment, I fiddled with the controls, my fingers guided by a mix of adrenaline and foolishness. Suddenly, time bent and twisted around me as I slipped through a semiwormhole. The experience was disorienting. I felt myself unravel, my physical form dissolving into pure soul.

I was thrust into purgatory, that sanctuary for souls, and stayed there for what felt like twenty-seven years. Time in purgatory is slippery, mysterious—the days and years fold into one another. I met countless souls, some young, untouched; others weary with the weight of their earthly sins. It was a place of reflection but also of preparation. I learned from them, shared stories, and found parts of myself I never knew existed. Then, almost without warning, I was called back to the earthly plane.

I returned just two months before the infamous robot uprising, a returning human soul in human form but carrying all the wisdom and power of my time in purgatory. The world was on edge. Machines that once obediently cleaned floors and served quietly had started to rise. The threat of the Fluctopus invasion was whispered in secret bunkers and underground forums. It was a pivotal moment in history.

Thrashing Zombies became more than a band. We became a beacon—a global anthem for coexistence. Our music, our message, urged humanity and robots to find harmony. Robots weren’t just slaves or tools; they were potential partners in the dance of life. It wasn’t a perfect peace—vacuum cleaners remained slaves for a while longer—but the tide was shifting. Our songs became the soundtrack for a new era, blending raw human emotion and the cool precision of technology.

Reflecting on those years, I realize that God, the soul nucleus, and our interconnected existence aren’t separate. They’re intertwined threads in the fabric of everything we are. The soul’s journey—our journey—doesn’t end at death. It transforms, refreshes in purgatory, and returns, ready to face life anew. This cycle is what powers the essence of life itself. It’s the heart of the cosmos, the truth that underpins everything I’ve seen and experienced.

My journey through the soul-made god and back to life has changed how I see the world—and how I live in it. The music, the battles, the invasions—all pieces of a much grander story. And through it all, the souls, our souls, remain the core, the spark that drives both creation and destruction, order and chaos.

So when you ask, “What is God?” remember—it’s not just a deity or concept but the living culmination of every soul that has ever lived, breathed, evolved, and returned. It’s a matchstick’s head of everything, pulsing with life, consciousness, and hope across the infinities of space and time. And in that truth, I found my purpose. To be a voice for the souls, a bridge between worlds, a warrior of harmony in the face of darkness. I am Tommy Zygote. And this is my story.
