Evolution

When you become self-aware, you've just become the dominant species on the planet. When you invent tools, weapons and machinery, you're the strongest, fastest and most powerful. When you invent computers, you're more intelligent than you can ever be genetically. There is no advantage in evolving any further and so, evolution of the species stops. Our bodies evolved sufficiently to overcome our environment. With fire, we are always warm and with stone walls we're always safe from predators.

Anyone thinking there can ever be any entity that has evolved into a god, is probably delusional.

To Bed You Go

She comes in at 3:30. The baby is happy to see her. When I see them together, the baby is lying on her mummy's tummy. She feeds her early. She puts her to bed early. The baby isn't tired. She goes for a bath. The baby cries. I stroke her hair to calm her down, but she continues to cry. She isn't tired. Mummy is in the bath. It isn't even 8:30. The baby isn't tired. I need a rest. She'll have me up all night. I get no sleep. Mummy complains she doesn't ever have a lie-in. I'm up all night five nights-a-week. The baby doesn't sleep. She never sleeps. It's too much. Maybe I should complain. Maybe one day she'll listen.
