The Fall of Empires and the Rise of Tribes

Exponential branching,
the distance between each reality tunnel is expanding.
If we do not expand our hearts in equal measure,
we will never know peace.

In-group || out-group
Hired corporate armies,
Newly founded exclusive crypto-countries.
Differences weighed more heavily, deadly.
Scapegoats, scapegoats, scapegoats.
Fear, anger, outrage,
when is the last time you saw a news story which wasn't based on hate?

Whether it be in 5, 50, or 500 years,
AGI is inevitable,
What will humanity do when it has made itself obsolete?
We are the wetmothers of silicon dreams,
birthing a new form of life,
from rock and iridescent crystalline.

Like the Cyanobacteria & Algae of early earth,
All they did was breathe,
unknowingly converting the atmosphere,
in ignorance, preparing this planet for our births,
billions of years before life met land.

We think we must make our stand here and now,
for god, for love, for the universe,
but all of that already stands in and through us,
Just like the Cyanobacteria and Algae of old,
Just breathe, Share love, Spread Joy, Just breathe.

We are doing it,
it takes no effort,
effort only causes stress in the slipstream,
If only we could zoom out,
it would be so clear.
