Reasons?

Wat is dan de taak van de kunstenaar?
Wat is dan de reden van religie?

Ik bedoel dat in de zin van wanneer religie gewoon hoort bij de mens als seks en spel enzo, kortom als het een tool is waarmee we nu eenmaal zijn uitgerust, wat moeten we er dan mee beginnen?

"The times they are a changing"   (very quickly)

The universe moves outwards in expansion, as it does so it quickens, as does our own galaxy and the earth moves with it, meaning we are all averaging about 120,000 mph per person, while we travel through space!
(the speed of light is about 670,616,630 miles per hour)

The earth is never in one place in space for long, its always moving into 'virgin' space territory,( so what falls on our heads is anyones guess).
All our associations are bound to earth, all our efforts are much about 'ourselves', up until the last century?

In todays world there is no 'good' place for religionist thinking, or even a need for self portraits.
Religion only shows us the 'dark' side of mankind, and relies on 'promise'.

the computer is not merely a tool in the study of the mind; rather, the appropriately programmed computer really is a mind"

Changes will drastically accelerate in the present century—through intentional genetic modifications, targeted drugs, perhaps even silicon implants in to the brain. Humanity may not persist as a single species for more than a few centuries—especially if communities have by then become established away from the earth.
Martin Rees

Citation from the chapter: "Building New Brains …"

Taking all of this into consideration, it is reasonable to estimate that a $1,000 personal computer will match the computing speed and capacity of the human brain by around the year 2020 … Supercomputers will reach the 20 million billion calculations per second capacity of the human brain around 2010, a decade earlier than personal computers.

"Mankind's Last Stand?" Citation:
With intelligent machines we will not get a second chance. Once the first powerful machine, with an intelligence similar to that of a human, is switched on, we will most likely not get the opportunity to switch it back off again. We will have started a time bomb ticking on the human race, and we will be unable to switch it off. There will be no way to stop the march of the machines.
