Great insights @eco-alex! It is pretty scary that we could be seeing such a departure from Earth and natural life ways that we forget what the elements are and are caught in a web of technology. The virutual and augmented reality things just seems way too Matrix for my comfort.
it’s like we’re running blind into the future
This scares me too as we don’t know the limits and of AI or if we are literally causing our own extinction.
You’re right, maybe nothing matters in the ever shifting tides of the cosmos. But missing out on the unique blessings of human consciousness seems a shame to me. Forgetting to breathe, feel wind,smell and feel the world is a tragedy...
Thanks for the inspired and thought provoking comment.
