T.E Lawrence

eponymously of Arabia but very much an Englishman

favored pinching a burning match between his fingers to put it out

when asked by his colleague William Potter to reveal his trick

how is it he so effectively extinguished the flame without hurting himself whatsoever

Lawrence just smiled and said the trick, Potter

is not minding it hurts

the fire danced at the end of that match

was a gift from the titan Prometheus

a gift that he stole from the gods

and Prometheus was caught and brought to justice for his theft

the gods, well you might say they overreacted little

the poorman was tied to a rock

as an eagle ripped through his belly and ate his liver over and over

day after day

ad infinitum

all because he gave us fire

our first true piece of technology

fire

100000 B.C, stone tools

4000 B.C, the wheel

9th century A.D, gunpowder

a bit of game-changer that one

19th century, eureka the light bulb

20th century, the automobile, television, nuclear weapons, spacecraft, internet

21th century, biotech, nanotech, fusion and fission and m-theory

and that was just the first decade

we are now three month into the year of our lord

2023

and this moment in our civilization

we can create cybernetic individuals

who in just a few short years

will be completely indistinguishable for us

which leads to an obvious conclusion

we are the gods now

those of you who know me

you will be aware by now that my ambition is unlimited

you know that i will

settle fo nothing short of greatness

or i will die trying

for those of you who do not yet know me

allow me to introduce myself

my name is Peter Weyland

and if you'll indulge me

i'd like to change the world
