"Death by Machines"

The end is near.

Set your alarm clock Keith, because in a few short years, relatively speaking of course, the human race will be a distant memory. We will become nothing more than a fireside chat for some advanced race capable of self-preservation, unlike us. It's in our nature to destroy ourselves.

Am I worried? No. Because you can't change what is so obviously going to occur. You can't change human nature.

I do worry for some of the potential readers of this blog though. It must be nice to live out your lives wearing rose colored glasses, constantly lying to yourselves that you'll die of old age instead of a cataclysmic event of horrible burning death. This is precisely the reason why I'm putting serious thought into leaving my six figure job and becoming a vagabond, wandering the Earth on drugs until the day of reckoning comes. I take some blame in this as well, as it would appear Dustin Kopala has had it figured out all along. Only at age 23 do I really see what's going on behind the scenes.

Think of how far we've come in this "Information Age". Even 20 years ago, a blip on the map of time, we can do things now that people 20 years ago would have bet their lives would never be possible. Go back a little farther, to the early 1900's. You most likely would have been put in a straight jacket if you told someone in a few decades we would have landed on the moon and traveled through "outer space" in little space ships. Tell those same people that if you "mix a little of this and a little of that" you could eradicate half a million people within seconds. Black Magic? Wizardry? Mike Price with a spellbook? Not all, it's the "evolution" of mankind.

Call me a naysayer, call this doom and gloom, I don't care. The problem stems from the average human not fully grasping just how far we've come in the past 20 years. Those who do can see this coming a mile away. Funnily enough, I don't think all of this will come about by some foolish terrorist on a suicide mission. I believe it will start with something positive. Perhaps humans will figure out a way to create a completely articifically intelligent learning computer. I'm not talking about that fucking robotic dog Sony made that can fetch the newspaper either. I'm talking about a system that needs no human interaction, ever. A system that can not only think, but a system that can learn. A system that feels no emotion, only action and reaction. A system that will base its thoughts and processes on something humans have never been, self preserving. Some will argue that such a thing is impossible and that it's inherently flawed because such a system will be designed by a human. While an effective argument, I believe it's a shortsighted one. Programming and such is predominately designed around mathematics. Mathematics, arguably, is a perfect science. I'm sure you can see where I'm going with this. I don't even want to speculate on its potential uses in science, exploration, or the military, but it's very real. Humans will eventually be replaced by machines. It's already happening all around the world at an alarming rate, but nobody seems to care. The people profiting from it sure don't mind. The people designing it sure don't mind. It's the mindless sheep who feel the effects the most, yet they sit back and accept it because it's all they know how to do.

In a not to distant future we're going to live in a world controlled and operated by self sufficient, self preserving robots. By the time we've realized what has happened, it will be much too late. The self-preserving robots will realize what we're trying to do and we, mankind, will become the enemy. That's all she wrote folks.

Does that sound far fetched? It sounds about as crazy as flying spaceships in outer space and walking on the moon if you ask me.

Think about the days when the end of the world prophecies stemmed from events outside of our control, such as a burning hellfire sent by God to cleanse the Earth, or a great flood, or getting hit by an enormous meteor, or the sun burning out. Do you hear such predictions anymore? I don't.

The writing is on the wall. It's been on the wall for years, yet there are still those that choose to ignore it. You're part of the problem.

Eventually all of this ignorance will come to a head and everyone will die in a blaze of scorching death that some robot realizes is the ultimate answer to the hellish disease that is man. What would man do? We'd pass the blame to the robot.

This ain't Terminator 3 people, the human doesn't get to walk out of the movie theater at the end of the day.
