    Maybe we should be looking at how we live, and how our minds weren't made for the lives we lead. Human brains- in terms of cognition and emotion and consciousness- are essentially the same as they were at the time of Shakespeare or Jesus or Cleopatra or the stone age.. Maybe instead of worrying about upgrading technology and slowly allowing ourselves to be cyborgs we should have a little peek at how we could upgrade our ability to cope with all this change.

    To enjoy life, we might have to stop thinking about what we will never be able to read and watch and say and do, and start to think of how to enjoy the world within our boundaries. To live on a human scale. To focus on the few things we can do, rather than the millions of things we can't. To not crave parallel lives. To find a smaller mathematics. To be a proud and singular one. An indivisible prime.
