we invent them to serve us
controlling our existence to create virtual worlds
with hells and heavens myths domesticate science fiction and reality blur shaping our reality an assembly of biochemical algorithms
flash fade flash fade spinning epidemic is business economy grows human experience
as any other item
in the supermarket
a designable product
intelligence mandatory
consciousness optional individuals = dividuals in carbon or silicon owned by imaginary gods
who what you are
how to turn you on and off beyond control beyond the opaque wall algorithms can command empire
or an upper class ruling the planet
if words could make dreams come true
a simultaneous instant in the brain of seven billion
emerges the beautiful
androgynous face of the serial
killer wheat eater bread winner & the deluge of data
millions of nano-robots
coursing humankind's veins an Orwellian police state splits into the chosen hi-tech Noah’s Ark
a new religion information flow datism to merge or not to merge
the human genome as a digital processor where overwhelming data
garbles the message in dystopian double talk will the defeaters prevail
or cometh utopia from outer space our post human descendants
do as you would be done by datism
as we condemned the mammoth to oblivion your every action
but where no human
can follow or need to understand
in the matrix the inter net
of all things where has the power has gone
the cosmic data God draweth nigh the great flow
to maximise to plug you in
voters of the world unite a colossus astride this narrow world free market big brother watches over every breath you take invisible hand that flies in the night between laboratory & museum voice of a million ancestors a ripple in the cosmic data flow
shifts homo centric view
to data centric view
knowing us better than we know ourselves forager
scavenger of carrion
follower in fear & flight big brained Neanderthal Denisovan Sapiens what drove you for 2 million years a big bum? what bound
small divergent groups of differing
tongue & taboo into the framework of humankind but fiction collective myths woven into our reality from money to the nation state imprisoned by the archetypes
we've identified them with
a virtual reality of cartoon molecules after Yuvah Noah Harari Sapiens & Homo Deus
