information from our
senses is carried by the nerves
in form of electric signals
these signals have two properties
on or off
the brain is a complex
structure of nerves that
process this information
this information is
still in the form of
electric signals
with the properties
on or off

the instinct to search for and develop new technologies
the music video analyzer presents this human behavior as an instinct to find answers for existentialistic reasons.
the technology teach us about ourselves but, since we are unconscious of our robotic nature we are not able to see it or willing to accept it.
unable and with built in limitations, failing to see ourselves in the total perspective of life.
still we inhabit the desire to be our own gods, our own creators but without ability or software to handle it correctly.
in the search of who am i, what is my purpose through science we get answers leading towards that we are nothing more than highly sophisticated and advanced machines.
filled with contradictory information serving the function to secure us never stop searching for unreachable answers,
driven forward by electric impulses not knowing why.
this passes us on to the next question.
the recreation of an advanced species
we strive to build the perfect machine or life form, but by doing so,
unknowingly ending up recreating ourselves.
some will call it destiny, in this case it is suggested as a preset program, and serves as evidence of our machine state or that we cannot exceed what we are.
and in fact what are we?
i am confused right know but i will still stick to the human thing since it feels more comfortable, and less distressing right know.
or?
the possibility of creation surpassing creator
which i will not comment, cause i don't even have an opinion.
so give up folks, you are facing an impossible task far to incomprehensible for you.
the petty answers you can collect won't solve any mysteries for you and even less as clarifying answers of your existence.
because i am limited and you are limited and we are not supposed to know, and will never do either.
i should not mention this because my title as researcher will be in danger but i am disillusioned.
anyway your reboot will take effect within a lifetime.
