Let’s say you enter this life and have two choices of how to live.
A) You survive until you are 60 to 110 years old but are doomed to die from a plague sweeping the planet which ultimately touches nearly every person like mold on pumpkins. Your life expectancy is a blend of genetics and whatever man-made products you put into yourself which keep you going as long as you can…as well as bringing you down in the end.
B) You sign a contract or invest in the necessary equipment (sort of like paying for college and all that goes with it to get a degree) to transfer your “doomed” human identity into a machine supplied by a monopolizing company already spreading its financial cloak of dominance over the planet. However many years and however you live those years as a human being are inconsequential; as you will join the collective hive/mind of billions of other robots who bought into this “life insurance plan.”
Which would you choose?
Or, do the prospects of both make you wish you were never born?
[More on that philosophy in a near-future post.]
Just answer the question. Don’t LIKE or star this for later and forget about it or pass it on. And, if it’s not too much trouble, explain your answer/decision; what makes you choose that path?
Death – prolonging the inevitable will only lead to misery. Being owned and manipulated are not freedom which the human spirit seems to desire innately.
Vote noted.
And, you are correct, missy. Which is why I dread the notion of being placed in some kind of battery or farming apparatus. Granted, “freedom” is an American-ized word that has been abused, tantalizing people around the world like the dangerous apples in Eden.
