TO COUNT OUR BLESSINGS,
KEEP FAMINE, PLAGUE AND WAR AT BAY,
AND PROTECT THE ECOLOGICAL EQUILIBRIUM?
Thàt might indeed be the wisest course of action,
but humankind is unlikely to follow it! Humans are
rarely satisfied with what they already have? The most common reaction
of the human mind to achievement is not satisfaction, but craving for more!
Humans are always on the lookout for something better, bigger, tastier, faster, stronger,
longer, richer, mightier, flashier & impressive? When humankind possesses enormous new powers,
and when the threat of famine, plague & wàr are finally lifted, what wìll wé dó with ourselves? What
will the scientists, investors, bankers & presidents do àll dáy? Write poetry? Success breeds ambition,
& our recent achievements are now pushing humankind to set itself even móre dáring goals! Having
secured unprecedented levels of prosperity, health & harmony, & given our past record & current
values, humanity's next targets are likely to be immortality, happiness & divinity? Having reduced
mortality from starvation, disease & violence, we wìll now aim to overcome old age
& even death itsèlf! Having saved people fròm abject mìsery, we will now aim
engel to upgrade humans into gods, ànd turn
HOMO SAPIENS into
HOMO DEUS.
