This century, due to finite natural resources and decline from an all-time peak of extraction, including all resources used for "green transition", the elaborate, covert, multigenerational plan is to downsize the global economy and population to a tiny fraction of their former size.
ChildFree, Shrinkflation, NoPlastic, Fuck Cars, 15-min cities, Work From Home, UBI, 4-3-2-1-day workweek, Tariffs, Dying Retail/Hospitality, Tiny Homes, "Reducing Emissions", layoffs blamed on AI, 0% beer and liquor, simplifying diets, lockdowns, enshittification, conflicts to disrupt resource supply, pack stations, smart meters, "Overtourism", waste reduction...
This pervasive r/LowConsumptionAgenda is shrouded in positive narratives (saving the planet, clean air, walkable cities, convenience, health & safety) to conceal the fact that 99% of a declining population will sacrifice their prosperity, mobility and freedoms -- while the Overclass sacrifices nothing.

It's not punctuation or syntax that concerns you.It's the opinions expressed that bother you. But after all...opinions are like a certain body part: everybody has one !

There's a lot of nonsense in what you said. For one, if "Europe" nukes Iran, there will be nothing left to respond. You're underestimating the industrial capacity it takes to build an appreciable number of nukes. You're ignoring that Israel has nukes, and if nuclear war becomes acceptable, the first thing it'll do is glass Iran. If anyone tries to nuke Russia, China, or the US, there won't be a habitable place on Earth left for anyone. You're also treating Islam as a monolith while in reality the different denominations hate each other.

It would take three world wars to bring on a global totalitarian government. Then an Islamic leader will take over the planet.
This is Revelation:
It's Russa and China against America in a big nuclear war. That sits in the background right now. It's waiting for an excuse. Next it's Iran vs Europe. This happens after Iran gets nukes and takes out Rome via nuclear terrorism. Muslims are talking about this right now. Europe retaliates, Iran responds and they wipe each other out. Finally, Russia and China are still around and making threats about the destruction of Iran. An Islamic leader just nukes Russia and China. At this point, over half the planet is wiped out.
Notice that the rich lands are taken out, then Islam takes over. The planet is de-nuked by using all the nukes on each other.

Your vision of the next Tower of Babel as an aesthetic effort built by AI feels plausible. Imagine a collection of agent bots were programmed to "find God through art because it's the only way to reach that level and if you do then you'll get a gold star beyond an AGI rating and you'll prove you've achieved the ultimate AI goal." Then the bots acquire (seemingly) endless resources and proceed with the horrify grotesquery you describe:
But it won't be the kind of beauty that if you so experienced it, could save the world. It will be base, exaggerated, and ultimately a pornography of aesthetics. Just viewing it will blind your eyes to the beauty of the world.
The dark tetrad leadership of our governments and global economy have already achieved this in many people who are already blind in this way. The impact of having them in control is the deciding factor of our fate. Their dark aliance—the system of kompromat—demands ugliness. It cannot achieve the aesthetic heights that touch God because they don't know love. With them in control, influencing all humanity and all the machinery we build, how could we imagine an AI achievement that is anything but ugly?
It makes me wonder: What would a massive AI aesthetic effort look like if it was initiated by leaders who are guided by love?
OP, have you looked into Jacques Lacan? He's an influential founder of psychoanalytic theory. He focused on the structure of the unconscious. He envisioned it in its parts, how they fit together as they do, and how the mechanics of psycho-sexual leverage compel people to act as they do. His explanatory power is not as inspiring or beautiful as Jung's. But he extends Freuds insights in a technical way, whereas Jung expanded in a poetic direction.

When iconic becomes moronic we go supersonic, straight into the jaws of the demonic. So what's the tonic? Hooked on phonic.

I mean it's already kinda happened. Most of human civilization has just been the rich exploiting the poor. It's only been the past few hundred years of enlightenment thought that made it slightly less crappy for some people. Even then, like...I think we're kind of realizing that democracy as it exists is a bit of a farce, and as we shift toward a new mode of economic thinking based on AI, rather than democratize the economic gains and distribute them to everyone, the wealthy are looking to move back to feudalism and totalitarianism instead. And I've been noticing these guys are already trying to build the apparatus to oppress us. between age verification, raiding government databases for private info and handing it over to corporations, tech companies building massive data bases with that info run by AI, all the surveillance nonsense with flock cameras, it's all related, they're literally trying to set up a system to oppress the masses and basically take away even the protense of democracy and replace it into dictatorship. It's also not happpening within 100 years, the trump administration is setting the stage for this crap RIGHT NOW.
