Morpheus: "At some point in the early 21st century all of mankind was united in celebration. We marveled at our own magnificence as we gave birth to AI."
Neo: "AI? You mean artificial intelligence?"
Morpheus: "A singular consciousness that spawned an entire race of machines. We don’t know who struck first, us or them. But we know it was us that scorched the sky."
Does technology reshape our reality so much that we start to lose track of time itself? Have we transitioned from an authentic existence into a period where everything, while appearing to change, is actually static—like a bubble swelling without actually moving forward?
First, to delve into this inquiry, we must align our understanding of language and the frameworks that define our existence. Are there clear distinctions between psychology and biology? Do "humans" hold a unique place in the cosmos? As we tackle these preliminary philosophical questions, we must also strive to step completely outside our personal experiences—not only transcending our race, gender, or socio-economic status but also transcending our very humanity and terrestrial limits. We aim to go beyond gravity, beyond the physical laws that confine us to conventional dimensions. This journey is not just about transcending and looking back due to our inherent human bias and limitations but about attempting to exist everywhere at once.
As we revisit our initial semiotic explorations—let us dissolve all notions of beginnings and endings, all boundaries, to see the world anew. Can we discern where a finger ends and a hand begins, where individuality ends and collectivity starts, where humanity ends and technology begins to redefine our essence?
But first,
how
are
you?
I’m fine.
