An entirely fascinating set of thoughts on the future of humanity. Being deeply metaphorical it takes some time to really get what is going on, but before too long you can probably start to reflect on some of the statements and relate in some way.
Although:
I'm never much for doomsday scenarios; were it the case that the future is a scary place, well, it's been happening for centuries.
In other words, we presently live in the scary future that past generations predicted.
In other words, the scary future we're predicting now will feel exactly the same as the "scary present" feels today.
In other words, everything's going to be OK.
In other words, if there is some point along the timeline of humanity at which the threshold from absolute metaphysical "goodness" can be crossed into absolute metaphysical "tragedy," then either 1) it has already happened or 2) we won't notice when it does happen.
In other words, everything is going to be OK
(There is a valid counterpoint here, and it is to say that the present absolutely is scary, and things are not OK today. I just find that to be a sad way to live life.)
