about
lyrics
Technology has opened up some endlessly mindblowing avenues in the world, but also some truly terrifying and toxic virulence, as well as the ability to know of it happening everywhere in the world, which has highlighted much more the vile aspects of human nature.
I don't know if such behaviours can be reversed or removed from society. I don't know if I am only seeing the upturns in people being positive towards each other at times because it is happening more in my closer bubble of people, and we're all just trying our best to help each other through.
Also because in recent times, I've had to switch off to the news more than I want to, because I want to know what is going on out there, and I wish I could make differences in every injustice and horror scene, but it depresses me to the point of wanting to give up on humanity and myself because I am, by default as a human, distantly related to some of the absolutely despicable forms of people out there.
People are scared of 'the robots taking over', but, would it even be such a bad thing in the grand overall picture of it all (which is the hope for continuation of the planet, in my mind anyway it is)?
Humans are already destroying the only home we have, and now looking at ways to go to other planets, where they will inevitably do the same (that's if the planet will even let them inhabit it, which is very unlikely anyway, but that's a totally different discussion I guess).
People are scared of the robots turning on them, and creating wars, but that's no different to what is already going on anyway amongst the humans.
The visual used (for this part, in the download) is an absolutely insane game called We Become What We Behold, and obviously shows how fear, hate, violence is bred even from the comfort of people's homes through their computers, and so if there is a fear that the robots will be the death of humanity, it's because humanity knows how bad it is, and it knows it is only passing on the information.
"We become what we behold. We shape our tools and then our tools shape us"
There's an excellent presentation documentary on all of this, by Wilson Miner called 'When We Build', highly recommended... Link is in the Info part.
