THE GRAVITY
(music: Patrick Kliesch lyrics: George Dobbs)

Before we start to prophesize about impending doom
These are extraordinary times if only for a few
Why fear it now? the fate we cannot choose
Such awesome power that no one could refuse

Hope, in this undertaking-hope that we will awaken from the dream that urges us along
Hope, to find the solutions-hope, to be more than human in a future tailored for the strong
I am nothing but ones and zeroes and I’m already primed

A post-human god, a post-human god

And you can slowly feel the gravity as we approach a singularity
And maybe, there will be no war and maybe, we'll hunger no more

The body's a hotel for the mind-it's something to be left behind-it's just a temporary shell and thoughts are only energy-they're stored by so much memory-you only need a bigger cell

So overwhelming it defies my unassisted brain
The law of entropy applies-it will not be contained
Why fear it now? -the fate we cannot choose
Such awful power-it's only ours to lose

Hope, in our home in the cloud-hope, we can see the way down through uncanny valleys we must cross
Hope to find the solutions-hope, to be more than human-be forever with our loved ones lost

Surely, we can't escape the gravity of the coming singularity

Long before the dawning of the age of information
Long before the printing press or the Sumerian tablets
Long before the paintings of the cave wall woolly mammoths
and before we made our spears in the hot untamed savannah
We can't escape…
