Human Again

Have we forgotten how to love each other? 

Have we forgotten how to feel? 

Maybe technology is not the problem, maybe technology is the solution. 

Maybe the industrial revolution was the problem. 

Maybe the religious crusades were the problem. 

Maybe Agriculture was the problem. 

Humans adapted and learned how to thrive in its environment. 

Humans have always fought to stay alive and to thrive.  

Perhaps some of us actually learned how to live. 

What if technology frees us? 

Enables us to connect to each other at a level we have rarely found.  

Enables us to take the time to connect to something deeper.  

Something that we have sensed all along, but never figured out how to touch. 

The older I get, the more I understand.  

The older we all get, the more we learn as a people. 

When we stop learning, we die inside.  

What if we never have to die, can we continue to learn forever? 

I do not fear technology.  

I look forward to using technology to improve lives.  

I do not fear AI.  

I will not live in fear.  

If I can have hope that people are good after all that they do. 

Why would I assume that machines are any less so? 

There are plenty of people worried about the evils of General AI. 

If there are actions to be taken to avoid it, then those actions are going to be taken. 

I chose to take actions to develop the positive and not fight the negative. 

As it develops, it will help us be better. 

When it surpasses us, we will work together.
