Navigating spaces beyond

We consider ourselves sentient, the most evolved life form of all genera, crown jewel of nature. This uniqueness of ours is shrouded in veils of solitude, since we strive to share our benevolent texture only with others like us. We look at the sky day and night, searching, listening, calling, craving, praying. But we don’t hear any answer, only an enchanting colorful glitter of the faraway suns remains.

By updating our technological senses, we’ve come to realize that exoplanets are abundant, nearly every star has at least one planet. So far, we’ve discovered nearly 6300 exoplanets. More than 1000 stars are multiplanet systems. Many of them have potential for life as we understand it. We update the variables in the Drake equations, it suggests there should be many like us out there in the Milky Way alone. And yet we hear only silence, we stumble upon the essence of the Fermi paradox.

Maybe it’s the Dark Forest theory, they’re all silent, hiding from something, or someone. Maybe they use more advanced means of communication, undetectable for our level of technology. Maybe they’ve evolved into beings which no longer require technology. Maybe they all destroyed themselves.

And then again. maybe, it’s only us. It would be such a waste of space and resources, if it’s only us. If we’re the only technologically capable species in our galaxy, then we really are a rare jewel.

We’re at the dawn of becoming interplanetary civilization, we’re planning to expand to the worlds beyond. We have several options to choose from in our solar system. This will ensure our existence beyond our world. But before expanding further in the solar system, perhaps we should fix our homeworld society first.

Once we settle nice and cosy in our cosmic neighborhood, we explore and expand further, to the vast spaces beyond. Next step, we reach for the stars.

And in this void we exist, struggling for breath, for warmth of touch, for comfort of reason. And we stand alone. Our path is made of us.

Lost in freedom

This present moment of no return. Stuck in a paradox in a time line gently preserving only to move forward, feeling, touching, yearning. The arrow of time comes with a responsibility in decision making. Prudent choices based on the probabilities and the consequences of the outcomes.

We deem to live full, creating a reality which is a construct of our minds and souls, both of which are indefinite to explore further. The exploration is not only outwards, our exploration within is also a tale of no end. The growth beyond this world, needs to be accompanied by the growth within.

Our disregards to the past, stubborn defiance toward who we were, shame and pride at the same time. Equally guilty and most divinely innocent. Our duality of perception, our everlasting conflict of existence. Who we were, and what might we become.

And then a sudden arousal occurs, and this cycle of ours is rebooting. To find facing the same challenges as before, black screen all over again. Our benevolent nature is about to become cruel, again. And we keep careful records of our past, so what do we learn from it?

We’re haunted by our cycles of behavior. Our psyche is indeed a marvelous natural phenomenon, but it works in cycles, our ups and downs.

Perhaps it’s that melancholic drive within, a subconscious nostalgia for the slavery, because we lose ourselves in freedom.

The first global state

Despite our own peculiar DNA code, each and everyone of us has a unique electronic signature. Existence becomes synergy of two dual realities intertwined and dependent one from another. This is an inevitable consequence of contemporary living.

The internet is not only a place, it’s a concept which simplifies exchange of information, a tool perfecting communication, a space where freedom of expression of thought is harbored. This nonplace is available for all of us and it’s necessary to be allowed in continuation freedom of access to information and undisturbed exchange of ideas. Hence leading to its gradual development into something more, something better.

The net is a global archive of human existence, it’s also a complete library of human knowledge. In its nature it fully reflects human features, expressed through our: professional needs, interests, artistic accomplishment, social inclinations, even fetishes. Thus the net is shaped as an independent entity which stands apart from state societies or unique national entities, uniting them into unique global society composed of all its users, all of us.

This way the internet is a solitary evolutionary organism, unifying humanity altogether with ideas of equality and freedom, the real UN, globalization in its true humane form.

The development of the net is beyond control of any individuals or shadow figures. Systems to control this electronic society are destructive forces in a sense of severing the accomplished synergy of its users. The tendency of nationalization of the virtual space by governments and corporate surveillance systems or security collectives and organizations will accomplish dissecting the internet into smaller units. This leads toward centralization of thought around governments and national states which in fact is caging our freedoms.

Information is unstoppable. Considering the amount and speed of planetary flow of data, it’s remarkable how vast this pool of ideas and information truly is. This traffic affects all of us, it’s firmly attached to contemporary living. The times we live in are fast.

Netizens are accustomed to globalization in communication, freedom in the access of information, uninterrupted flow and exchange of data and ideas. The present world must enhance concepts of open society, free software and open science. This affiliation leads to increase of human values and virtues. This electronic culture thrives and expands as we speak. This global identity can’t be connected to any other classification, since it’s unique.

Restoration to the old ways is unacceptable for us, those of us who remember, know very well what that means. And the new generations understand only this state of digitalization, which we all enjoy very much.

Human thought is meant to be free, and the ideas are bulletproof.
