Return to your grandmothers….We are already cyborgs!
We are already cyborgs mediated by machines. Some are learning to be adept to the new technology while others are distracted by the gear. We need to train better our brain, actually temper ourselves so that we make sure to manage all these changes responsibly. If you want to survive then: Wisdom trumps knowledge now. We dedicated 100yrs towards gaining knowledge and we have found it has made us more confused and dumped, drowned, by the deluge of information. There remains a trail of tears, towards this path to knowledge. The casualty is enormous, sorrowful instagram accounts, suicidal “close friends”. We earned so much for this large digital library, this digital hive fed by mostly our fantasies…know one was carefully looking at what we were designing. You see….Knowledge has a critical mass a critical point where it disintegrates and becomes folly, foolishness. Do not forget the old adage “don’t be too smart or you will be foolish”, “those who know the law but have not heart, the love…” Remember that knowledge has the potential to make fools of us. It is a tempting trait or characteristic that remained as some genetic excess. The pride captivated most of us. Never forget that knowledge loves to collaborate with pride. that is a very deadly combo. A by product: The more you learn, the more pride you have, the more you gain, the more confidence in your self, in your ability, in the way you perceive yourself. and that is when you land in trouble. Remember Icarus who flew to close to the sun, or the other guy Narcissis who fell into his own reflection. No wonder we have a narcissism epidemic. So maybe I propose we spend the next century on Wisdom. So go! no time to wait! return to your grandmothers!
