RE: The Holocene Extinction Part 1: Death by Human

in #science7 years ago

I wonder what would be left of humans, once the last creature has been processed into the last Oscar Meyer hot dog. Would man still be glued to his virtual display devises updating the latest stock or cryptocurrency value update? Would he then finally realize how he sold every important and sacred inheritance for virtual baubles that only exist in the imagination of fellow deluded humans? Maybe the Matrix was less about AI enslaving humans, but rather humanity's final solution, after having raped the planet into desolation. In the end, man would need to liquify the dead to continue his miserable existence, while continuing to "live" glued to his virtual wealth.

Sort:  

My grandfather was friends with the guy who wrote the Oscar Meyer jingle.

That would have been a much more satisfying twist to the Matrix than much of the actual lore.
