Future of Us

See the problem with human beings is we tend to oscillate
Between boredom and anxiety
But there is this state beyond and you know it when you're there
So you get to see the world as if through the eyes of a child
You open yourself up to the miraculous once more
So all of a sudden the been there's and seen that's of the adult mind get obliterated
Whether it's exposure to like the Grand Canyon for the first time
Or the birth of a child or an MDMA experience Or sex for the first time
An experience basically of awe it jolts you
It cracks you open
It lets in the light where as once I was blind now I can see
Its also been described as opiate adjacency
With our minds we can ponder the infinite
Yet we're housed in these heart pumping breath gasping decaying bodies
I didn't sign up for this
This little fucking spec in the middle of the dark nothing
And yet this little fucking spec is about to engender its own divinity
And infuse the cosmos with computation with intelligence with sentience.
Envision your future
Get out of your heads and your limiting beliefs
We're talking about a capacity to literally steer our own development
To reprogram our own biological language
Envision your future
Because we can imagine
We are free
