Future

>b>and this bizarre possibility what does the future present to us? we can break calendars, I thought. shedding skin like snakes, we can shine dark lighting up the chromosomes that we are. we can create our avatars, surpass ourselves, become the effigies that will replace us containing the courage we lost when we shamefully weaken, when we definitely walked away of what we could become when we accept to be merely the humans we are

Ah, visions of the time of AI, not such a "bizarre possibility" I'm afraid, as we "surpass ourselves" with the technology we, in a sense, developed...invented. Can we ever simply walk away from what we have become, Marco? Isn't it a bit too late to experience your last three lines, I'm suspecting?

I believe there will still be a lot of discussion about Artificial Intelligence, ethical aspects, the possibility of self-destruction, etc.
