Morphing into machines?

"We’d be so less fragile
If we’re made from metal
And our hearts from iron
And our minds from steel
And if we built an armor
For our tender bodies
Could we love each other
Would we stop to feel…"

Accepting an argument succumbing us to a life as machines would be paying heed to the hypothesis that the human mind could ever create something as complicated as itself. Not only is it a paradox but also an absurd concept.

Let me tell you something about the human mind. We assume that the mind like our body is finite . The day we die, our mind disintegrates. We often define humanity in the physical finite sense which is the greatest contradiction.

The mind is what makes us human. The fact is in due time, the mind will find a way to preserve it self. Refrigeration in super critical conditions is an onset to what miracles are to come. Once the mind does that, it allows for the infinite to finally occur and give definition to itself.

Have you ever wondered why is it, that man is so bent on creating eternity for himself? Visualize this. Our brains are another superior world enslaving our bodies. The only purpose of the body is to assist the brain in creating other physical structures that might be able to out live the body that the brain currently occupies. The day our brains succeed in creating that physical being, there will be an end to the era of the human body! The time is not far away, when there will be a world, not inhabited by any man or machine, but by an array of brains and intelligence.

So I do believe that the human mind can conjure up, in time, a machine that will not only make the use of touch obsolete, but also end the era of instruction dependence on sensory organs of humans. This will be the birth of our minds controlling machines (the penultimate stage to the total brain reign).

So the paradox is, what do you define as human?

Maybe as we near the era of machines we aren’t a step further, but in fact a step closer to defining what humanity really is, devoid of its physical limitations!
