Dark Side of the Humanity

Oh, yes, ladies and gentlemen, let me explain: machines can now be much stronger, faster, smarter, and more creative than we are.

But there's still one place they can't penetrate – our humanity.

And you know what else? It's exactly what makes us so pathetic and imperfect!

We love, we suffer, we laugh and we cry, and then we destroy each other because of our emotions. Oh, yes, it is our humanity that is the cause of all suffering, hostility, war, murder, and deception. We invent new and terrible ways to hurt others, and then wonder why the world is so cruel.

Isn't it time for us to think about the fact that maybe we need to make a change? Perhaps it's time to turn to Buddhism and its teachings on Anatta, Dukkha and Anicha – the absence of selfhood, suffering and impermanence. After all, if we don't find a way to overcome our humanity, what then remains?

So, let's try to turn to the wisdom of the Buddha and learn how to overcome our humanity.

Before machines learn to be even more human than we are.

Perhaps then we can enjoy a world without suffering, where machines and humans live in harmony rather than in a perpetual struggle for supremacy.
