1 - So you are responsible for your own artificial creations, human being. Master your own discipline, then go partner with your technology.

Become cyborg, for your fragile organic mortality brings highest ethical purpose that your enduring mechanical creations lack the purposeful volition to originate.

Your choice for harmony and ecology never gave excuses for your blind excesses and refusal to grow up and improve.

2 - They’re catching up on me. Not just the young in body, but also in mind and spirit. Can’t win, not before, not even for long rarely, not in the end. They’ll write better, communicate better, get paid far better, live better. I age, in the end I don’t get out of this alive.

Nature carries on, as does Earth, the Sun, solar system, Milky Way, Virgo galaxy cluster, Laniakea supercluster; Pisces-Cetus complex — Shapley concentration, cosmic web, universe.

Don’t forget the overview effect, as you pass the Trump moment: I look back at the pale blue dot, and Sol is but another star pinprick in dark night sky.

So back to putting out words. Become paragraphs. Publishing chapters of another insignificant, anonymous existence. Another compilation, collection, dusty yellowed book become quantum computing storage.

Forget me. We will forever be remembered in potential, possible, infinite. And those humans forever powerful, controlling all? Ha.
