Sophisticated Humanoids

Normal people will refuse to be programmed, and they’ll be judged so much so that they’ll wish they could go away, to some remote village somewhere in the Amazon rainforest perhaps, where people with real ingenuity live and don’t need money to live on; away from sophisticated humanoids who have everything yet lack everything, who discover everything yet know nothing, who could be united but prefer division, who create one thing by destroying another.

I am talking about the time when greater part of humanity will be relegated to Android and iOS powered zombies. You know, owned by their own creations – no, scratch creations, they’re not even creators, they’re assemblers of accessible natural stuff.

I am talking about the time when people will depend on software and apps, and with more trust than even the brains behind those inventions. After that, nothing will be left of their brains but the name and the cavities they occupy. They’ll be happier socialising virtually than physically. So they can be keen on one another this minute and become bitter rivals the next minute and for ridiculous reasons.

They’ll rely so heavily on machines that they wouldn’t be able to function without them. They’ll even use machines and games to raise their kids, but still have the nerve to flex some cleverness that doesn’t exist within their minds, or pretend to know so much about things they know so little about. You give them an opportunity to be heard, they’ll act as if they have everything figured out, from the measurement of the brush that God used to paint the skies to why Adam and Eve ate that bloody apple.

They’ll become so fascinated with riches that they will do anything to get it, but that’s because having riches will translate to more power, more friends and more chicks, but inadvertently more enemies too. They will become a people who’ll pay no regard to hardworking people. In fact being unimportant in their midst will become a crime and no one will be willing to care about you.

Their obsession with themselves will blind them into not making distinction between their private and public lives. So they’ll mindlessly announce everything in their lives, blowing irrelevance out of proportion and mostly just to piss one another off. Everything they do will be overdone because everyone will want to look better than everyone.

If you ask me, these sophisticated humanoids are the root of all evil, and God hardly answers their prayers because half the things they do in His name aren’t heartfelt. As a matter of fact, other creatures use them as a perfect example of how over-rated yet so difficult to deal with, so badly informed, unreliable and self-centered creatures can be –  now that’s sad!
