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?
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.
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.
Questions that linger in my mind before those two.
A little privacy — or have we become so accustomed to exposure that even silence now feels suspicious?
or have we mistaken connection for confession, forgetting that curiosity should arrive after care, not before it?
