Thank you again for writing this story @tarazkp! When do we stop being humans and become just empty shells, with no original thoughts? We probably will not be aware when the day comes. Dulled down generation after generation. There would be no resistance with the new normal everything handed to us, everything ready for us. Scary.
And here in lies the problem. A slow shift from thinker to consumer under the guise of improvement and enjoyment. The increase in security will offset the fear of losing the self into society and soon we will no longer have the capacity to be objective or see farther than the next provided thrill and rush. We are on the path now and we are already mostly unaware.
This is why I fight against the 'real-world' replicating here. We need it to be the other way, grow here and replicate here in the real world. I am losing.
