Aware Within

I want to pontificate about something. The evolution in what we consider intelligence is probably the most interesting in all evolution in my opinion, because in the technological level, we could not be more advance, we’re flourishing in technology, we have ipods, we have computers, wiifii, everything; it’s insane. We are flourishing technologically speaking. As far as introspectively and being self-aware we couldn’t be more debunked, we couldn’t be more “off the creek”. And I know it’s a rather silly, kind of simple thought, but when you can actually think about that sometimes in relationships.  

How is it humanly possible; any kind of possible, that we have people roaming this earth such as Shakespeare. We were self-aware at one point in time, not that everybody is Shakespeare, it’s just fascinating to me someone could walk the earth such as Shakespeare. As a whole were not whole, and it’s like; where are we heading in a personal level? When everyone thinks about the future, they think about technology and flying cars. When I think about the future, I’m worried about, how we would be as people on a personal level? People are becoming more and more detached from themsleves and more and more attached to inanimate objects such as computers. It’s like computers replaced Soul. I like my computer but I also love my spirit and my soul. What I mean is that people are so occupied, that they don’t have time for introspection and they’re so distracted. When you think about it, how could we be distracted from ourselves? There are so much going on the outer world that our inner world is just completely pushed to the side. I was talking to my friend earlier and he was like: Do you ever get times were your sad and you don’t know why? And; to be honest, I never have those times. I always know why I’m sad. I am not saying that it’s technology’s fault for us to become less self evolved. I am however saying, just as a whole, all science cannot point to the fact that we are becoming more “dumbed-down” mentally and emotionally, and our toys are becoming smarter, isn’t that odd? We are becoming so self-unaware, so oblivious to ourselves, that the objects we are creating are smarter than us. And that is a very frightening thought. So people, please take time to write poetry, it’s heading to the point that I’m wondering; Is poetry going to be extinct? Is journalising going to be extinct? I think everything is so saturated now, even our thoughts. Check in with yourselves people, ask yourselves how you feel, take that alone time. There’s a problem going on and I’m just worried of the future. If you feel that you’re lost on inanimate objects or something, take some time-out for you. I know computer is a great resourceful thing but it’s like, there so much knowledge on it but we set aside those and focus on the “lazy-entertainment” it offers. Give your mind a workout, I know, I sound like I know everything but I am just really worried, truthfully, just about people in general, because I feel like people don’t know their intentions anymore, they don’t even know how they feel. I had this conversation with multiple people and peer groups. 

Thank you all for reading.

If we get to the point where we can make these machines to be self aware, then there’s a probable chance that we took the “machines working for us” too far, especially if they are capable of any reasoning.
