There is a universe of which we know nothing. We inhabit a thin shell of reality, <br>on a world of no special importance and we only number a scarce few billion<br>with brains as pathetic as dead leaves. This collective consciousness of a few <br>
billion humans, all with a very precarious understanding and ability to appreciate <br>reality. We know nothing, or next to nothing. What technology we have, what <br>science we have, it is less than a baby in its crib reaching towards the edge <br>
of the cradle towards a blur it can barely make out. <br><br>I only know my heart screams out, for something better than this. <br><br>Be cautious in anything, any judgment, any pronunciation, about even the <br>most (apparently) ludicrous of subjects, for we know nothing. For now all we <br>
can be sure of is to not treat others as we ourselves do not wish to be treated, <br>and even that in the most cautious of manners. <br><br>We inhabit a very precarious age in human history where single humans still<br>die, and we collectively stand years away from all of us dying, and many who <br>
read this may experience the total extinction of humanity personally. Or not.<br><br>This is an era not to be underestimated or trivialized in any way. We truly live <br>in the turning point between despicable animal consciousness and the eternal <br>
atrocity we call nature. We now can formulate an alternative to void and the<br>horror of evolutionary imprisonment. We stand on the brink of real meaning. <br>And last we should do is be smug or cavalier about it. <br><br>
So think wisely, and a long time, about what direction we all go. I really believe<br>the words are spoken right here, right now, that define which direction we are<br>headed. <br><br><br>
