This is such a beautiful piece, it's almost uncanny. I remember having this kind of conversation with a friend once. He was skeptical too. There are a lot of cynics out there, and the worst part is one can't even blame them, so I understand how he might have thought, like you said, that humans with 'super intelligence' might enslave the rest. But your optimism is remarkable, and I share it. Who knows what heights we might reach! Maybe that mantra of peace unity and community would be realized after all.
Perhaps if we drill it long enough, they might remember it as they shackle us.
