You're going to need something to survive off of.
But biological evolution being so painstakingly slow, whereas technological evolution is so breathtakingly fast.
The only way to really survive is to integrate.
You can't give anything to it, but you can become it.
You can become a part of it.
It's not that you're going to give anything to it, but you have to catch it and become one of it before it has no use for you.
Yeah, you don't exist anymore.
Extinction with extra steps, and then we become... Like, if you go to Australopithecus and say, hey, man, one day you're going to be flying through the sky on your phone all day watching TikTok on Wi-Fi.
It'd be like, what the fuck are you talking about?
Yeah, you're going to be eating terrible food and you're just going to be flying around and you're going to be staring at your phone all day.
And you're going to take medication to go to sleep because you're not going to be able to sleep.
And you're going to be super depressed because you're living this like biologically incompatible life that's not really designed for your genetics.
So you're going to be all fucked up.
So you're going to need SSRIs and a bunch of other stuff in order to exist.
It'd be like, no, thanks.
I'll just stay out here with my stone tools and you guys are idiots.
