Cheer Up

There are many things to be depressed about. Some of mine include:

• No action on global warming.
• Extinction of species.
• Uncontrolled population growth.
• Erosion of civil liberties.
• The barbaric behaviour of Muslim groups like Boko Haram and ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) and also the imperialist genocide from the USA.
• Mass pollution of lakes, rivers and oceans.
• Autocratic powers of corporations.
• Spread of religious superstition and violence.

When I see things getting worse, I remind myself that some time in the next century we will develop computers smarter than ourselves. I have no idea what their values will be, but the fate of earth will no longer be in human hands. Everything will change.
