Earnest Supplication – Higher Education, Travel, Art, and African History

American society’s relationship with technology has evolved to a striking point: a point where automation and access to information has rendered human creativity functionally useless.

The American bottom line is the dollar. What does that mean for our families, for our collective, for our artistry, and for our expression?

Artificial intelligence has taken over the human drive to think for ourselves and has encouraged us to succumb to a submission and subservience, a capitulation, to the dominance of this technology.

How has this type of technology influenced your behaviors? When were you last able to stoke your creative fires and allow a true flow of creative expression? Have you felt motivated to participate and impact your community? Are you integrated amongst your community or is this life built on the bi-weekly paycheck? Have you felt a sense of doom? Do you, often, feel a sense of accomplishment?

How much of yourself have you invested into this way of living life? Is there a way out?

As I watch technology rule us, I have been stunned into a sense of replaceability and inhumanity. My humanity seems to come last in a world where computers are the dominant race.
