What would be the point?

Is there a reason to have a body any more? You know, because of technology? Bodies are ... messy. They are difficult to maintain. They eventually wear out. Why do we still have them? There is something wrong with the world. There shouldn't be bodies. There are no efficient uses for them. Our minds can do it all. But why can't our minds reside in a can of green peas instead? Canned minds.

Send combines into cities and let them harvest bodies. Send bodies to factories, put them on assembly lines, let machines remove consciousness from bodies, and then can awareness and thought for later uses.

But why would consciousness be useful later? It isn't useful now. It was never useful. It wasted time that could have been better used in production which would have provided more goods to consume. But minds and bodies are as inefficient as consumers as they are as producers. Machines should consume things that are produced by machines.

The only need, then, is for a machine that builds itself, destroys itself, rebuilds itself, and destroys itself again and again in an endless loop. Transcendence of circularity is a lie. There is nothing beyond the loop. So why do we still exist?

Government inefficiency. If market forces were free of regulations then the illusions of transcendence would have become obsolete long ago. There would only be machines building and destroying themselves.

But why even a machine to do this? Why not just package the idea of the machine loop in industrial-grade plastic and place it in a landfill in the last act of volitional movement by bodies or technologies? The universe could finally get on with ending itself, ending the existence of waves and/or particles, ending time and space, ending the existence of differentiation. Only then will everything be in order, in control, operating with perfect efficiency eternally and infinitely. No more suffering, no more pleasure, no more being. The equilibrium of nonexistence.
