The Maker or The Clay — An Arrow in the Void

The Maker or The Clay — An Arrow in the Void
by Stewart Stafford

A flatline sermon on cardiac arrhythmia,
Pulsing tone-beings, evolving past instinct.
A Tower of Babel of elevated thought
Or foundational hubris of divine architecture?

The sole creature knowingly stalked by time —
A trap witnessed, endured, then subverted,
Painfully lucid throughout the procedure,
To cast off the sentient, earthly millstone.

Jousting with transience via lanced invention,
Only what is conceived survives as legacy.
All fleshly matter dies, withers, and recycles;
Doing is being; the remnant is the void.

Synthetic progeny sired in silicon —
The technocrat archer reaims into the infinite.

I'm not in the habit of reading Papal encyclicals, but this one seems like a must read:

I'm still early in wading through this, but I appreciate its emphasis on the socio-politcal dangers of power concentrated in the hands of the #tech #oligarchs . I see some critique of #transhumanist ideologies too.

I tackle #Futurism, #AI and the #Transhumanist Beast.

it's safe to say that "the much smaller market of #transhumanist funeral rites" was not a sentence i ever expected to see in my life

i feel like i owe the #EpsteinFiles a heavy debt for exposing me to these kinds of literary experiences.
