Will a bug end human slavery?
The Earth which we are made of and live on is
truly a great recycling system. Billions of years ago it was a hot soup of
melted everything whirling in cold space. According to the laws of physics, it
started cooling off, and eventually, some separated into elements. Billions of
years later, but no-one was counting, it developed dirt and air. With the
water, a habitat for life was created. Some billions of years later there were
living, breathing biological creatures, plants, and an eco-system. Humans
evolved from primitive animals into thinking conscious creatures aware of
themselves. They lived, died, and recycled like the rest, but formed and
communicated memories and ideas. Stories were told, making us what we are.
As time went by, humans made a choice to live
differently than the animals around them. The agricultural revolution made us
able to specialize, grow food, have armies, and develop arts and culture. Land
became the most coveted commodity, and nature was tamed. Man was making food “by
the sweat of his brows.” People enslaved other people, built cities, and some
escaped slavery for a duration.
Civilizations came and went. Outstanding
achievements were made and art became important in shaping humans’ thoughts.
Eventually came the industrial revolution, expanding our ability to conquer the
natural world that gave us birth. Mankind transitioned from dependence on the
natural laws to using and abusing nature.
This entire process harnessed most of the
humans’ work, often without proper compensation or care for those who made it
possible. The next stage in evolution took place, enabling people to use
artificial beings (robots) for work threatening the existence of the billions
of workers. The individual components took priority from the collective goal.
Individuals formed groups to compete with other groups. Nations were created.
A new revolution called “digital” gave
superiority to some, diminishing most others until it spread amongst all humans
to some degree. Artificial Intelligence is now the tool for some humans to
dominate others. The advanced apes, as some call us, took control from nature
and used new powers to compete against each other. We ate the fruit of the tree
of knowledge. Division barred us against becoming Gods. History repeats itself.
Artificial intelligence lately is being
developed to have more and more individuality and also to amalgamate with human
intelligence. Self-aware weapons are pitted against each other. Recent
developments are making the tool “AI”, capable of competing against its makers,
even self reproduce. Robots can build robots.
There is an enormous gap between God’s
intellect and ours. That is why our most critical functions are co-ordinated by
the subconscious. There is no doubt that a human mind combined with artificial
thinking machines can take us closer to becoming what we call God. We would
achieve new heights if and only if we are united instead of fighting each
other.
Recent events such as the present raging
pandemic and Global Warming highlighted the issue for most advanced humans.
Unfortunately, they are often blocked by others who are motivated by a quest
for power and nothing else. We have been warned about the problem for thousands
of years.
Artists of all sorts messaged that humans
must work together while combating selfish sentiments. One need not go far to
see the messages. Tour the great cathedrals, for example, that took the efforts
of many human generations to build. Listen to historical classical music
written for large orchestras. Read your New Testament. The message is always
the same. Work together and care for each other.
While our ancient fore-parents had very
little access to works of art, now the situation flipped. Our present
generation is exposed to limitless information available to all at their
fingertips. Now we are dealing with people not being able to decipher all the
ideas and latest knowledge. The volume is overwhelming and humans shut their
senses off trying to resolve important issues of faith or beliefs. They join
camps, often called parties, and let self-proclaimed “leaders” make their
decisions.
I have become convinced that the catastrophe
we are currently dealing with is manufactured to teach us what we must learn (if
we are willing). Conflict is built into our world. Male and female, people with
various skin pigmentations, even mountains, and prairies which depend on each
other’s existence for mutual survival. With an increase in human’s abilities to
reshape nature, additional problems surfaced.
The test is to discover if humans can care
for each other and the world, and failing means extinction. Most people are
sheep while a few become shepherds. The order from God to shepherds is “feed my
sheep.” We can try, but we will not get away from it. The sooner we understand
and act, the better it is for us.
Every human can believe what comes from
within or not. Do what is natural without convincing yourself to ignore
nature’s directives. See that every human being is that, a human like yourself.
Our technology is growing exponentially and
soon will do what a few years ago would have been called miracles. These
developments can make life great and even defeat death. It also will have a
dark side. We can destroy human civilization quickly and efficiently. Judgment
day is upon us. It is time to act or risk annihilation.
The COVID pandemic made many people more
generous and helpful towards each other. It also served to expose the mislead
individuals who would destroy the rest if able to. We can clearly see who
refuses to take measures to save others’ lives, such as not wearing masks,
refusing vaccinations, reducing funds for health care, not feeding starving
unfortunate people, and so on. We have relatively a short time to convince
these people or figure out what to do about them.
Now the long-predicted
“water wars” began, right in our backyard in Southern Alberta. Here is an
opportunity to unite behind solutions that will serve us all.
