"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."

~ Frank Herbert, Dune

What has happened to this world in which we live? How can it be fully explained, when it is constantly changing while being decimated without fail? Some choose to bypass critical thinking and individuality in favor of dependence on outside forces, whether religion, false 'leaders,' controlled media, or government. As far as is known, we all have but this one life to live, and regardless of beliefs or spirituality, regardless of any articles of 'faith' that one may possess, nothing is actually known for certain about the essence and meaning of life. Therefore, harmony among us is vital to our own existence, if humanity is to survive, and at this time, mass division and hate have consumed the majority. This has all been by premeditated design.

We, as a society, are facing possible human extinction, due to the embracing of machines taking the place of mankind. It is not as if all of humanity will soon disappear, at least not entirely, but this sought connection with machines and AI can only accelerate the disappearance of sentient beings in favor of a cold transhuman existence. Can you imagine a world without human conscience? I cannot, but that now seems almost imminent.
