Gnosis in Rock: Queensryche's Operation Mindcrime & NM 156: MK Ultra and Artificial Intelligence (AI) Terminating Human Beings: Life in the Simulated Reality Matrix (SRM)
Queensryche Operation - Mindcrime
And the following has always been a favorite song of mine by Queensryche off the 1984 album Warning. Here Jeff Tate was thirty-four years ahead of the times in calling bullshit on human-hating artificial intelligence in NM 156. The lyrics are posted below.

Queensryche - NM 156
NM 156 Lyrics:
Machines have no conscience
Uniform printout reads
End of line
Protect code intact leaves
Little time
Erratic surveys, free thinking not allowed
My hands shake, my push buttons silence
The outside crowd
One world government has outlawed war among nations
Now social control requires
Population
Termination
Have we come too far to turn around
Does emotion hold the key
Is logic just a synonym
For this savagery
Disguised in forgotten lost memory
Microchip logic
Have we no more thoughts
"Is this wrong" I enter
Answers sought
Punch, punch, punch
Transfer this data into code
Wide eyes watch
My number 156 is shown
Created from past life to perform illicit function
I fail this conscious madness
I man/machine imperfection
Have we come too far
To turn around
Does emotion hold the key
Is logic just a synonym
For this savagery
Disguised in forgotten lost memory
Have we come too far
To turn around
Does emotion hold the key
Is logic just a synonym
For this savagery
Disguised in forgotten lost memory
End of line
End of line
End of line...
And while I'm on a Queensryche kick, I may as well add Take Hold of the Flame, also off the 1984 album The Warning. The lyrics speak for themselves, and, given my situation, apropos for me.

Take Hold of the Flame
Take Hold of the Flame Lyrics:
We see the light of
those who find
A world has passed
them by
To late to save a
dream that's growing cold
We realize that fate
must hide its face
From those who try
To see the distant
signs of unforetold
Oh... oh, take hold
From a haze came a
rage of thunder
Distant signs of
darkness on the way
Fading cries scream
of pain and hunger
But in the night the
light will guide your way
So take hold of the
flame
Don't you see life's
a game
So take hold of the
flame
You've got nothing
to lose, but everything to gain
Ride, to a place
beyond our time
Reach, for the edges
of your mind, and you are there
See, that the light
will find its way
Back to a place
where it will stay, make it stay
Throw down the
chains of oppression that bind you
With the air of
freedom the flame grows bright
We are the strong,
the youth united
We are one, we are
children of the light
So take hold of the
flame
Don't you see life's
a game
So take hold of the
flame
You've got nothing
to lose, but everything to gain
