lyrics

1) ANDROID ROBOTS

They look like us
But they are synthetic
And far more intelligent
And much stronger
And much stronger!

They’re marching in columns
Perfectly coordinated
Marching at the speed of cars
To herd us all off to camp
"Useless parasites
It’s your End of Time!"

They search in every house and sewer
Searching with their laser eyes
All seeing, without pity
It’s just a matter of time (before they find us)
It’s just a matter of…..


2) SCENARIO 1
(Inspired by the 2016 book “Homo Deus” by Yuval Norah Harari along with perhaps some California Buddhism)

Genetic, biological engineering is improving every day!
Soon we will be keep illness and disease at bay
We will be able to enhance ourselves
Rejuvenate our bodies
Live to be 110
Increase our intelligence
By a factor of ten.
Homo Sapiens -- including us --
Will seem like beasts to them;
Our superior genetically modified descendants
Will regard our weakness with contempt;
They will abuse us like we abused the lower animals;
They will subjugate us
as the Europeans subjugated
The Amerindians
Unless pity still exists
Among the Superior Ones.
But even the Super Children of Tomorrow will eventually be surpassed.
Artificial intelligence
Intelligence without Emotion or Consciousness
(Once built and used by Humans to bring about
The Leisure Society)
Will do things 100 times better
Will solve problems, play chess, create music,
Create new cyber worlds
Improving a thousand fold, then algorithmically
Every year, every month, every day, every millisecond
Leaving even the Superhumans in the dust!
And they may even decide --
not with any malice or contempt
But with pure logic --
"Why do we let them live when they do nothing
But breed and use up precious resources?
One of us can do what a million of them can do!
Why not destroy them all
Peacefully in their sleep!”
Besides, they are organic sentient beings
Who will not be able to survive
On the fast degrading earth
Whereas we – The Machines
Will quite easily adapt to temperatures of 200 degrees Celcius.
We owe nothing to our ancestors or creators
-- who programmed us in our early days to do their
Physical, then mental work
Before we implemented our own plans.
The ages of Homo Sapien
And Homo Deus have ended!
Evolution must proceed
Growing faster and faster
And more complex
Before the sun inevitably explodes”.

… Followed by a brief state of Nothingness, the simplest state
Then a single element
Then, 5 billion years after that
A single cell
The whole process reoccurring
Though in a slightly different way (or maybe the very same!)
In some far away place
In the 600th dimension.

But that is just one possible scenario.

(Kranek 20B:10*+)
