  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.

  ""Alice's Adventures in Wonderland", commonly known as "Alice in Wonderland", is an 1865 English children's novel written by Lewis Carroll, a mathematics don at Oxford University. The story follows a young girl named Alice who falls through a rabbit hole into a whimsical and fantastical world inhabited by anthropomorphic creatures. This novel is a prime example of the literary nonsense genre.    In this captivating tale, Alice encounters peculiar characters such as the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, and the Queen of Hearts. The narrative plays with logic, creating a delightful blend of absurdity and imagination. The artist John Tenniel provided 42 wood-engraved illustrations for the book, which have become iconic.    "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" received positive reviews upon its release and is now one of the best-known works of Victorian literature. Its influence extends far beyond the pages of the book, shaping popular culture and inspiring adaptations for screen, radio, art, ballet, opera, musicals, theme parks, board games, and video games. Carroll's sequel, "Through the Looking-Glass", continues Alice's adventures in another whimsical realm.    This timeless classic invites readers of all ages to explore a world where imagination knows no bounds."
