Deep Thinking

So then, we are fully agreed that all living
organisms require stimulation to succeed
in their most basic mission of survival
from the most primitive to the sophisticated
of nature's creatures and so rises an anomaly
in the equation where humankind which has
endlessly risen to the challenge from time
immemorial using brainpower and thought
and communication in endless brilliant
discoveries one succeeding upon the other
endowing life with the victories of scientific
achievement enhancing existence, where
will it now lead? The rare geniuses among
us whose curiosity and determination led
civilization to heights of success by leaping
into the unknown and dredging from nothing
the avails of everything might never have
imagined future generations' ambitions to 
challenge nature's own blueprints with their
daunting exploits, and here we have before
us the dawn of artificial intelligence coupled
with oncoming quantum computing at the
very time when the mysteries of the universe
and that of the human brain are not yet fully
understood. Yet the hubris of humankind has
no boundaries and in searching and ultimately
succeeding the quest will most surely result
in extinction when we realize that curiosity
and invention have made us redundant as we
unleash powers capable of their own invention
as we no longer chirp: I think, therefore I am.
