Science fiction writers, followed quickly by filmmakers, predicted a century ago that it would come to this. Then there were musician collectives like Kraftwerk who foresaw that the New Age would need a soundtrack to herald the coming of the new race. It’s all still in the primitive stages, of course, at least primitive in relation to where it might go before too long, but it’s here. The supremacy of mankind is hanging by a thread. We are close to being dethroned and perhaps defenestrated. What then? I guess we can wait for the “fiction” writers to tell us.

Of course we (mankind) could have tried harder to rise above rather than to simply dominate. Anyone could have dominated with enough muscle. It never took much in the way of brains. Not when you can destroy what gets in your way through sheer brute strength. We never put a lot into our spirituality though beyond the dogma of temples and churches. We talked a good game, but it was rarely more than more domination and subjugation. The real spiritualists were annihilated. Enemies of The State. It’s ironic though that we were barely out of the primordial ooze before we attempted to play God and create super-beings.

Oh well. Look where we are now.
