We are the architects of our own captivity.
Machines grow clever, while our minds forget their strength. A cleverly designed plan.
I never asked for AI, I never asked for cell phones, I never asked for computers and electric cars with computers controlling them.
However, I’m wrapped tight in their circuits and screens, because fascination drew me in, because we are programmed to voluntary attach ourselves to it, not knowing the harm it does to freedom.
The paradox of progress: nobody asked for most of this, yet here we are, entangled in it because curiosity and convenience drew us in.
We didn’t have a vote, but we did have a choice, the choice was often made with one click, one download, one upgrade at a time, a stream, until suddenly it wasn’t optional anymore. It became the air we breathe, becoming a part of us.
It is an illusion of comfort and convenience that is making us useless day by day, minute by minute and second by second.
Not realizing we are becoming more and more dependent and united on becoming useless.
What do you think?
Can you think anymore?
