"Blæði : Obsidian Pieces" by Iceland Dance Company

(Kringlan, 25 March 2015)

Each dance breathes submission to elements, hopelessness. There is no past, so, with listless fervour, the dancers must be summoning the future, wherein brutality has effaced humanity.

Individuals like control or an illusion thereof. Individuals like to sway to the beat, but only if they have a say in choosing it. A universal beat is associated with socialism, even though it is not socialism's logical necessity.

Should the humanity care about the survival of its kind of intelligence or any kind of intelligence (including AI)? Favouring the survival of human intelligence does not validate genocides. It is logically consistent to prefer the survival of one's own species and culture---should one be forced to choose just one---with promoting the coexistence of multiple species and cultures. Coexistence could benefit each constituent culture through exchange.
