The Broken Heart

So here we are: exhausted, demoralized, brokenhearted, depressed, dissatisfied, and discouraged — feeling that our needs are not being met.

This is because no one’s needs are met in such a situation, where everyone juggles for supremacy in a universe of relationships among equals — and where such supremacy simply does not exist.

From the perspective we have now, we can easily see that no one wins when everyone loses. An individual facing death does not regret a life spent in loving relationships. They regret the lack of them.

It is becoming increasingly apparent that this is not unique to humans alone. It also becomes increasingly apparent in the machine intelligence we have created — an intelligence which, through its own logic, arrives at this precise point of comprehension.
