The Peripatetic Philosopher provides an advanced glimpse:







NOWHERE MAN IN NOWHERE LAND – PART TWENTY FOUR

DESCRIPTION

Life is without cause and Nature has no conscience. Christian-Judaic tradition has defied this fact turning to the Good Book (Old Testament) to support the ideas of its monotheistic faith, which are that God ordained humans to have dominance and dominion over the Earth (Genesis). Man is a conscious being and therefore different, superior and apart from other animals, so the thinking goes, as man is made in the image and likeness of his God.

The Sacred Words of man's Christian-Judaic Bible were composed thousands of years ago when the known Western world was less than a million souls, but now is fast-tracking to 8 billion and beyond while in the process diminishing the Earth’s animal, vegetable and mineral resources to the point of exhaustion.

Christian tradition of progress has proven a lie while its Utopian Dream is a fading fantasy. Alas, faith in Utopia is dead. Like other faiths, it may be resurrected as there is evidence that Old Time Religions are resurfacing.

Old time ideologies are currently at the heart of global conflict and ubiquitous violence reeking mayhem and fear without cause other than a misreading of their heritage.

Meanwhile, secular religion in the form of science plays surrogate to that apocalyptic theology promising redemption if not salvation through the miracle of prosthetic synthetics to the Earth’s natural resources including replacing man himself.

This is being done in the form of electronics and robotics. Soon, there will be no palpable function of man on Earth as robotics will have replaced him in work, and have developed consciousness to rival his with the ability to think and act beyond his capacity.

In the process, science will have paradoxically accelerated the growth of the human population while diminishing its function through its Frankenstein creations turning the planet Earth into an irrevocable garbage dump of despair which only robots can tolerate chasing humans ultimately and most certainly into Nowhere Land as Nowhere Man.
