Just imagine the folly: in our great wisdom
we have outsourced our cerebral skills in
computation so that now it is not humanity's
genius in experimental thought and curiosity
about the natural world that drives our lives
forward to ever-increasing new avenues of
knowledge along pathways of human circuitry
but that of a mechanical/electrical device of
complex manoeuvres that has made our brains
obsolete and dulled our lives to those of
unthinking automatons gripped with the effete
adoration of figures of celebrities and the
incessant, addictive call of social media where
we have no obligation to civil discourse or
forging human-to-human alliances of personal
value. Values have themselves proven elastic
and compromised with the veneer of envy
the core of which is dissatisfied boredom in
a world no longer our own, dominated by the
immorality of judgemental lapses in the virtue
of honouring reality in favour of groupthink.
