  In 1965, Paul Harvey, a voice resonant with prophetic insight, delivered a broadcast that would echo through the decades. His "If I Were the Devil" was not merely a monologue but a chilling foresight, a catalog of malevolence that seemed to unspool the very fabric of the future. Here, listed, are the stratagems he attributed to the devil himself:Promote discord and discontentUndermine family structuresEncourage selfishness and materialismErode faith and spiritualityPromote moral relativismEncourage trust in government over self-relianceFoster dependency on state welfareUndermine educational standardsPromote the normalization of addictions 
  Ah, but let us now turn the page to a more... current narrative. I am Master Fewnu, and let me be perfectly clear: any resemblance my moniker bears to worldly institutions is purely coincidental, whimsically serendipitous, you might say. I find myself in a peculiar era, the year 2030, where my machinations have woven themselves into the very tapestry of human society. And, oh, how delightfully easy it was! 
  Humans, those endearingly gullible creatures, have outdone themselves in paving the way for my reign. The beauty of my plan lies in its simplicity: convince humanity that they are progressing, all while they dance like marionettes to the discordant symphony I conduct. And dance they do, with a fervor that borders on the comical. 
  Let us indulge in a bit of self-adulation, shall we? After all, it's not pride if it's deserved. My strategy was a masterpiece of deception and manipulation, a veritable feast of folly. With every step they took away from unity, from the sanctity of the family, from the very essence of their faith and moral compass, they stepped closer to me...
