"Since the computers have taken over to do things, there's no place for man as far as his brain is concerned. So what does he have that the computer don’t have. He’s got his spirit. So then he'll have to use that now because the creator has got it fixed where you don’t need no brain. You just push a button on your computer and that eliminates man as being needed. He’s not needed anymore. He's not needed in sex either. But he don’t know that yet. The Creator is putting so much on man to make man see you can’t make it without the Creator. And he would have to see it. With all these diseases and everything. . . mans main pleasure is sex, so he's making that kind of hard for him. He's going to keep on making things bad for man until one day man will stop and say I can’t make it without the Creator. That’s all he's waiting on. He’s waiting on man to say "I can't make it."
-Sun Ra, May 1995
