The transition we experienced was so gradual, and seemingly harmless. But it was a transition into hellish conditions that we now suffer.
That Orwellian transition took us from seeing man as an immortal soul to viewing man as a herd animal to be poked and prodded, controlled and dominated. It was a transition from caring for one another into applying the premises of animal husbandry. It was a transition into viewing our fellow man as livestock, as solely biological entities. Slaves.
The materialist vision of the utility of wetware bots overtook our sense of love one another as he has loved you. Even the purveyors of religion today, the preachers, do not rise sufficiently above the materialist ethos. They may preach the transcendent but they anchor it firmly in the views of man as an animal that saturates the culture.
T.S. Eliot and Orwell were prophets. Perhaps it time for someone to write a new chapter and verse that fully explains their prophetic vision.

I’m with you 100% here! Let’s find common ground and do the hard work of building upon it. Thanks for putting all this insight into words for us.
Amen. Well said.
