THE HUMAN MIND: THE BIRTHPLACE OF THE MODERN WORLD.

image from payh.org


It's the year 2032, 10 years after the first robot was launched, our planet earth has paved the way with the help of the human mind, for the machines who look like us but are devoid in what makes a human, human, to wine and dine amongst us.

Yet there was a time the idea of robots was just a figment of an imaginative mind and this speaks of every technological material ever made

Since the beginning of time, the human mind has continued to evolve, creating and giving life to ideas.

On August 21, 2021 Elon Musk one of the richest men in the world, if not the richest, the hierarchy is dynamic, made an announcement about the launch of a Tesla bot prototype set to be released in the coming year.

This announcement was met with a lot of mixed feelings on the internet, memes being circulated around.

Despite this being another significant technological leap, I couldn't but wonder like so many others about what this signifies for the future since this bot is going to help with 'eliminating boring and repetitive tasks'.

What does this mean for the ones whose daily needs are met by carrying out this tasks, I guess the future will share its secrets soon.

Paranoia from movies some of us have watched about robots taking over also influenced what some of us perceived about this idea.

One popular movie that fits this narrative is I, Robots.

If you've watched it you will understand what I'm saying. Maybe we are just playing out the script of the paranoid Detective Spooner, thinking that there will be a time this Robots will become sentient and evolve like Sonny or Ava in Ex-machina.

Perhaps you feel this idea is a joke made by a billionaire who felt bored, and it's not possible but be aware of this every piece of technology in our modern day world was once an impossibility. 

The future is conceived in our imaginations, designed by our minds and made to life with our hands.

This is why I love movies so much, though some of the genres don't reflect reality, we can't all wake up and look animated or one day spot Godzilla or read in the news about a zombie apocalypse but they all give us a glimpse of what the human mind can imagine and bring to life in the form of moving pictures.

REALITY LIMITS, BUT THE HUMAN MIND IS LIMITLESS.

      The human mind is more like a maze; it is amazing, the heights we can get to, if we chose to harness its power.

Nigeria Operates A Feudal System of Government. We Need To Stop Pretending This is A Democracy

Photo by David Rotimi on Unsplash Oftentimes, you hear Nigerians saying, 'Oh, Politics is a dirty game,' 'They are all liars, ' 'Politicians are so insincere,' etc. When I hear these statements, I often retort and insinuate in these conversations that we have never been interested in politics. We find ourselves today mainly due to our apathy towards the whole process. So, while this has rang true for decades, I now have a new theory.  We, as citizens, are to blame for everything you see happening in the Nigerian political space today. Nigeria has little to no relationship between the state and its citizens. Why would there be any? The citizens 'toil the ground' and do everything they can to make something out of the dire circumstances they have been dealt with, so naturally, that disconnect is created, and the resulting apathy is very intentional.  Now, this apathy and this pronounced disconnect allow a select few to get into the nation's politics b...

We Made Our Bed; Now It is Time To Sleep On It

Photo by Wesley Tingey on Unsplash Nigeria is a very hilarious place. Anything and anybody can drive conversations. The attention span is small, and just anything moves us around here. You do not even have to do anything special; anything delivering the smallest form of excitement moves us. Someone said our politicians must be thanking their stars, that they have to deal with this particular brand of humans. I totally agree because it is hilarious at this point.  The other day, the discussion was on the tribes with the best soups; shortly after, the conversation moved to some supernatural beings responsible for how small-scale businesses, retail outlets, etc., fail in the country. I mean, while other countries are busy innovating, finding newer ways to make their lives easier, and holding their elected leaders accountable, soups, magic, VDM, and Bobrisky vs. the House of Representatives are some of the issues we were so fixated on.  And yes, the notoriously popular 'VeryDarkM...

We Might Need To Tell Ourselves Some Truths

 I have vivid recollections of some periods in my childhood. I am sure there were moments in yours that you could also remember. I remember Uncle Ade back then in primary school. The dude must have just graduated from University then and had to make do as a primary school teacher for some kids.  I remember his face, height, and how he sometimes spoke to us in chilled tones and always added random facts about just anything to his lessons. I remember how he once asked us what our favourite cities were, and as you would expect, we mentioned the places where our homes were, faraway Lagos, and some other cities we must have heard in passing from our parents.  When it was Uncle Ade's turn to tell us what his favourite city in the world was, he mentioned the city of Dublin. He spoke about how much he wanted to explore the city, its food, and all the experiences he wanted to have in it.  As I write this piece, I check out Dublin (On Google) and marvel at how much the city mu...
