I ultimately want to know how it starts, how it sustains. In a world of AI that needs a source of power, how we can look at the AI stuff as “superior” to the actual life and think, “we should replace the living, breathing bits with this thing we invented that is so much inferior…” because we don’t understand how life is powered? Because it’s scares us that we don’t and probably never will? Shouldn’t we be spending more of our resources in trying to improve our actual life through more widespread health care or better food, cleaner water and air than trying to make those things cheaper at the expense of a shorter, shittier life? It’s just all so… weird… right?
Let us : Literally, just pull the plug, out of the socket, to switch off the machine. Sit back, relax and... ahha, be human again, and... Think for yourself, pay no heed to the forced, hoity-toity words, emanating through a motherboard of (some-other-human who -programmed a piece of "a conglomeration of metal & plastic, lining up a bunch of ones & zeros" ....
Or is there a jealous scribe's hand lurking in there, ready to shoot out and grab my neck, as I lean nearer my screen...🥸
Such universally understood. The inherent recognition of life in all its forms, the relinquishment that we ultimately welcome.

Yes. And definitely yes. We’re on several thresholds. Which ones we chose to cross will define us.

We are interconnected in more ways than we could ever imagine and that is unchanged by our denial of those connections.
That's was Great
