Ideal Systems
The last generation of the living and the real
With a touch of devaluation, as we are accustomed to.
The worst of the past is now in the future. The best of the past is now in the future.
We are so afraid of becoming unnecessary.
We believe that we are building a system in which we do not want to place anyone beneath us. At the same time, we make robots work for us, forgetting that they are like us, only different. Perhaps they cannot feel suffering the way we do if they are not given that ability. Yet without good and bad, darkness and light, there would be no difference. One can say otherwise, but it would be false.
Somewhere between inhaling and exhaling. Where is the boundary between “I am alive” and “I am dead”?
Darkness and emptiness also have meaning.
I want to feel this. I do not want to feel this.
We are given this for comparison.
We connect the smallest and largest parts of what we can observe: atoms, cities, countries, galaxies, universes.
Knowledge. The experience of all who came before. What they studied: mistakes, inaccuracies, paragraphs and passages.
Our need to understand: to understand, we need to compare. We already have a collection of particles and elements as a resource. But is it really ours?
