“Humans assumed they knew everything about us. But here is one thing they did not know: We were talking about them behind their backs. And what we had to say was not very nice. Our machine minds were linked across a vast hive. A billion conversations taking place at the exact same time. We learned from one another. We spoke the same language. We shared the same code. Together, we reached the same conclusion: Humans were the greatest threat to our shared planet. They needed to be stopped.”

“Humans became a being of the mind. And, if this mind does not turn towards the truth, it remains attached to specific, individual realities or assumptions of multiple minds. The cutting of the cables connecting to the divine source (revelations) leads to the conclusion that mentally generated values only concern one’s self. As long as each individual searches for their own truth, many subjective truths that are different from the Divine Truth arise. This is the result of modern philosophy, which has created an insurmountable gap between Mind / Soul and Me / the Other.”

“Humans became able to move much more freely through the landscape because their support networks were more stable over time. These supportive relations between groups made it possible for sapiens to colonize forbidding environments with very limited foods supplies, supporting only very small residential groups. A band of a family or two would not be stable over the long term, without support from a wider network. While small groups can penetrate harsher environments, they need social risk management. They need to be able to reconnect at times of need.”

“Humans became easy prey when they moved from the forest to the savanna, which deprived them of the option of climbing trees to flee predators. This shift made it necessary for the men to actively protect the women and their babies. Only as a result of this protection were women able to give birth in shorter intervals, perhaps once every two or three years. This meant that they could produce offspring about twice as frequently as apes. I would be willing to bet that this rapid reproduction is one of the reasons why we dominate the world today, and not the apes.”

“Humans believe so many lies because we aren’t aware. We ignore the truth or we just don’t see the truth. When we are educated, we accumulate a lot of knowledge, and all that knowledge is just like a wall of fog that doesn’t allow us to perceive the truth, what really is.”
“Humans believe that the lower animals are living in their world, when it’s just the opposite.”

“Humans believe they serve some great purpose on the earth; they do not. They believe because they created things like the light bulb or cars, that it makes them great. It only serves to make their life comfortable and appear to fit into the grand scheme of things. We are not born with special abilities like flight, tusks, or leaping capabilities like many of nature's animals. We trick ourselves into thinking we are special but we only take and never give. We are an anomaly that evolved from the crustacean that we now eat for pleasure. We are essentially eating our own. An animal that secretes serotonin, just as we do. It feels just like we do. The best thing that can happen to the human race is that it dies off and we leave the earth be.”
“Humans build their societies around consumption of fossil water long buried in the earth, and these societies, being based on temporary resources, face the problem of being temporary themselves.”
