Man as Human, and Man as Machine

I have no trouble at all describing Man as Machine - I am surrounded by machines, and they are getting better all the time.

But the Human side of Man is not doing well at all. In fact, I am tempted to say, He is Finished.

What a thing to say! But it has to be said.

And in fact, this was the basic Christian message - the human side of God has been killed, and gone to Heaven, where he will be treated properly. And the early Christians could not wait to join him there.

This resulted in the Fall of the Roman Empire. That lasted for a thousand years.

It was gradually replaced by the Modern World, that gradually became obsessed with the Machine. This made them wealthy - but not interested in People.

This has resulted in the End of Democracy - that was composed, after all, by People. Not by their machines. If People cannot get along with each other - they are finished.

And this seems to be the case.
