La Torre

~

La humanidad siempre se ha caracterizado por estar constituida por diferentes sociedades, que a su vez guardan cierta relación unas con otras. La historia describe muy bien los cambios que ha tenido que desarrollar la humanidad, para poder adaptarse al entorno, y finalmente tener éxito en los nuevos retos que se proponga. Hablar de selección natural, es un poco más complicado, cuando, irónicamente, se toma en cuenta el raciocinio. Es evidente que las demás especies logran cambiar su conducta y morfología a fin de sobrevivir y asegurar una descendencia fértil. Sin embargo, la humanidad busca mas, busca más que solo vivir, busca vivir cómoda, sin problemas graves, con salud, buena apariencia física, logros profesionales, económicos, sociales, académicos, busca más que solo tener hijos, busca brindarles un hogar, tecnología, educación de primera, varios lenguajes, viajes, arte, música, ciencia… Muy difícil de cuantificar esta gran cantidad de variables, y relacionarlas a una buena predicción de lo que podría ser la estructura de las sociedades futuras.

Ya para esta época, el humano había superado gran parte de los problemas de los siglos anteriores, la amenaza de guerra era bastante baja, pero como costo a esta realidad, los gobiernos del mundo ahora no solo son menores y más poderosos, sino que lograron tener un mayor control sobre asuntos de gran influencia para cada ser. La tecnología avanzaba a pasos agigantados, sin retraso, sin perdidas, sin ningún impedimento para ser establecida a nivel global en cuestión de pocos días. El mundo de la comunicación y la interconexión había finalmente comenzado. En este punto gran parte de los trabajos de mayor demanda, se centraban en conexiones, análisis de riesgos y optimizaciones de la gran red mundial. La vida para los seres humanos había tomando un rumbo muy claro, la globalización era un requisito obligatorio, y lo estaban logrando.

Esto fue mejorando al pasar algunos siglos, no era para nada difícil irse acostumbrando a una vida cada vez mas fácil, más duradera, y más placentera, Las maquinas se encargaban prácticamente de todo, incluso de arreglar los daños ecológicos que los antepasados habían creado, favoreciendo así, gran parte de la flora y fauna que aun quedaba en el planeta. Las calles, eran mayoritariamente transitadas por seres bastante humanizados, pero con potentes chips en sus cráneos, su apariencia era aceptada en la sociedad, y eran considerados como herramientas fundamentales para la vida.

A pesar de esto, no todo era perfecto para el planeta en ese entonces, todo funcionaba muy bien, todas las reglas y normas se cumplían con seguridad, existía la justicia y la igualdad. Todo lo que tuviese que ver con tecnología, educación y transporte, era fácilmente optimizado con la utilización de maquinas especiales para cada caso. La vida era prácticamente perfecta, no había preocupaciones, pero había además mucho tiempo libre…

Con el paso de las generaciones, la felicidad era considerada como un estado emocional difícil de conseguir. La satisfacción de tener todas las comodidades que alegraban a sus antepasados, no significaban nada, después de todo, las habían tenido desde que eran bastantes jóvenes. Se había perdido considerablemente el sentido de la existencia.

Uno de esos monótonos y tecnológicos días, el congreso mundial principal, anunció por cada una de las plataformas de la gran red global, un nuevo proyecto, era catalogado como el proyecto más ambicioso de toda la historia de la humanidad. El proyecto era simple para comprender, pero no por ello fácil de realizar; consistía en la creación de la torre más alta que jamás haya sido creada. Esta vez cada uno de los humanos, estaba incluido en un gran reto, así como lo estuvieron sus antepasados, cuando intentaban resolver los problemas que ni siquiera ellos entienden.

Al pasar los días, se genero un extraño desorden psicológico en el globo terrestre, la felicidad había aumentado, pero también los comportamientos obsesivos. Cada una de las personas, se podían sentir parte de un proyecto increíble, era la primera vez que había sido tomado en cuenta de esta manera parte de un proyecto de esta magnitud, era la primera vez que podían sentirse útiles en alguna tarea.

Luego de varios meses, la torre fue creciendo de forma continua, para ese entonces habían aproximadamente 546 pisos de altura, pero la construcción no había sido ni cancelada de retrasadas, así que cada día, el número de pisos era diferente, tanto así, que una mañana, uno de los lideres mas reconocidos a nivel político, propuso ante el congreso la finalización de la torre, consideraba que ya era suficiente, y que se podía utilizar ese espacio para instalar una estación de desarrollo y mantenimiento de maquinas.

La gente se molesto como nunca antes, la torre no solo significaba un espacio físico vertical en la ciudad, sino también un motivo de vida, un sentido, una razón para sentir parte de algo macro, y útil para la historia del planeta. Fue imposible detener a millones de personas tratando de construir la mejo torre posible.

Luego de unos siglos, la torre la alcanzaba una de las lunes del planeta, se podía hacer un viaje espacial en el ascensor, y no hay peligro alguno, porque la tecnología avanzo tan rápido que permitía llegar a sitios considerados como imposibles por los antepasados.

La torre no solo era torre, también tenía en su base un sistema de propulsión a base de energía oscura, con lo cual se podría convertir a la gran torre en un cohete de escalas inimaginaria. Debido a un gran descuido o errores de las maquinas encargadas del cohete, la madrugada del 7 de abril, la torre despego, lo hizo de forma violenta. Las personas quedaron atónicas al ver que la obra que demando tanto trabajo, hoy se estaba perdiendo la inmensidad del universo. El sentido de la vida se estaba escapando, y era muy poco lo que podían hacer en ese momento.

Poco tiempo después, se confirmo el impacto de esta gran torre, en otro planeta, el cual es llamado Tierra por cada uno de sus habitantes parlantes. También se logro conocer que el impacto del cohete, destruyo prácticamente todas las formas de vida animal y vegetal, entre los animales, gran parte de los “Dinosaurios” (como son llamadas estas criaturas en este planeta). Al final la evolución creo a los seres pensantes, aunque espero que al menos ellos entiendan que la historia es cíclica.

Gracias por leer.

The Tower

~

Humanity has always been characterized by the fact that it is made up of different societies, which in turn have a certain relationship with each other. History describes very well the changes that humanity has had to develop in order to be able to adapt to the environment and finally succeed in the new challenges that are proposed. Talking about natural selection is a little more complicated when, ironically, reasoning is taken into account. It is evident that other species manage to change their behaviour and morphology in order to survive and ensure fertile offspring. However, humanity seeks more, seeks more than just living, seeks to live comfortably, without serious problems, with health, good physical appearance, professional, economic, social, academic achievements, seeks more than just having children, seeks to provide them with a home, technology, first class education, several languages, travel, art, music, science ... Very difficult to quantify this large number of variables, and relate them to a good prediction of what could be the structure of future societies.

By this time, the human had overcome much of the problems of previous centuries, the threat of war was quite low, but as a cost to this reality, the governments of the world are now not only smaller and more powerful, but they managed to have greater control over matters of great influence for each being. Technology was advancing by leaps and bounds, without delay, without losses, without any impediment to being established globally in a matter of a few days. The world of communication and interconnection had finally begun. At this point much of the most demanded work was focused on connections, risk analysis and optimizations of the large global network. Life for human beings had taken a very clear direction, globalization was a mandatory requirement, and they were achieving it.

This was improving after a few centuries, it was not at all difficult to get used to a life increasingly easier, more durable, and more pleasant, The machines took care of virtually everything, including fixing the ecological damage that the ancestors had created, thus favoring much of the flora and fauna that still remained on the planet. The streets were mostly travelled by quite humanized beings, but with powerful chips in their skulls, their appearance was accepted in society, and they were considered as fundamental tools for life.

In spite of this, not everything was perfect for the planet at that time, everything worked very well, all the rules and norms were fulfilled with security, there was justice and equality. Everything that had to do with technology, education and transportation was easily optimized with the use of special machines for each case. Life was practically perfect, there were no worries, but there was also a lot of free time...

With the passing of generations, happiness was considered a difficult emotional state to achieve. The satisfaction of having all the comforts that gladdened their ancestors meant nothing, after all, they had had since they were quite young. The meaning of existence had been considerably lost.

One of those monotonous and technological days, the main world congress, announced by each of the platforms of the great global network, a new project, was catalogued as the most ambitious project in the entire history of humanity. The project was simple to understand, but not easy to realize; it consisted in the creation of the tallest tower ever created. This time each of the humans was included in a great challenge, as were their ancestors, when they were trying to solve problems that even they don't understand.

As the days passed, a strange psychological disorder was generated in the globe, happiness had increased, but so had obsessive behaviors. Each of the people, could feel part of an incredible project, it was the first time that had been taken into account in this way part of a project of this magnitude, it was the first time they could feel useful in some task.

After several months, the tower was growing continuously, by then there were approximately 546 floors high, but the construction had not even been cancelled of delayed, so much so that each day, the number of floors was different, so much so that one morning, one of the most recognized leaders at the political level, proposed to Congress the completion of the tower, considered that it was enough, and that space could be used to install a station for development and maintenance of machines.

People were annoyed as never before, the tower not only meant a vertical physical space in the city, but also a reason for life, a sense, a reason to feel part of something macro, and useful for the history of the planet. It was impossible to stop millions of people trying to build the best possible tower.

After a few centuries, the tower was reached by one of the planet's Mondays, a space trip could be made in the elevator, and there is no danger whatsoever, because technology advanced so quickly that it allowed us to reach places considered impossible by our ancestors.

The tower was not only a tower, it also had at its base a propulsion system based on dark energy, which could turn the great tower into a rocket of unimaginable scale. Due to a great carelessness or errors of the machines in charge of the rocket, the dawn of April 7, the tower detached, did it in a violent way. People were astonished to see that the work that demanded so much work, today was missing the immensity of the universe. The meaning of life was escaping, and there was very little they could do at that moment.

Shortly thereafter, the impact of this great tower was confirmed on another planet, which is called Earth by each of its talking inhabitants. It was also learned that the impact of the rocket, destroyed virtually all forms of animal and plant life, among animals, much of the "Dinosaurs" (as these creatures are called on this planet). In the end evolution created thinking beings, although I hope that at least they understand that history is cyclical.

Thank you for reading.
