POST HUMAN
I’ll be honest, I don’t like mankind. You’ve been given the ability to know yourselves and your universe, and greatest of all, freedom from the cruel rule of the genes that enslave all the other animals of this world. But What have you done? Instead of progressing, adding together all the knowledge of your forebears, you deify the limited knowledge and wisdom of a few of the men that went before and prevent your full potential to reach the surface. You invent lies about the universe that become more and more self evidently absurd the more real progress is made, when it is allowed to be made. You take away the freedom it took over a million years to achieve and imprison yourselves within rules and laws that you think were given by a higher being, even though you have long surpassed them in terms of wisdom, knowledge, compassion, and justice. You deny your own achievements, that of your distant ancestors, denying they even existed and that you were made at the whim of a barbaric god being only recently. You ignore the contributions other cultures have made to all humanity, focusing only on the history of your of brand of faith. When the best of you point out the short-sighted nature of your beliefs you persecute them in fire. The power of humanity is beyond your imagination, as history has shown, but your still think you are a cursed, banished disappointment. You fail to notice how far you have already come, and think progress is never more to be made. You think only by going back to ignorance can you be saved, when it is from that ignorance you need to be rescued. In short you have wasted many opportunities, killed your greatest and canonising your worst. You disgust me so much that I have renounced my humanity, I may have to share this glorious world that you think is cursed but I don’t have to share your disgrace. In short. Grow up, face reality, give up the bad habits of your elders and become as free and great as the people you were meant to be. Do not waste the next 2000 years.
