If Creation Had Eyes!
The Tormented Creation
A sorrowful, yet scientifically grounded
reflection on humanity, technology, and the betrayal of nature.
In the beginning, there was no mistake — only
an experiment.
Nature, in its slow and patient genius, built a
balance over four billion years. It shaped molecules into cells, cells into
life, and from life, awareness. Humanity was never its crown, only its
curiosity — a brief spark in an otherwise indifferent evolution.
But somewhere along the way, something shifted.
Nature created a mind too powerful to obey its rules, yet too fragile to
understand its limits. An intelligence capable of altering its own world, but
not its own nature. A contradiction — or perhaps a tragedy.
Nature’s Greatest Miscalculation
Biologists often say that nature never errs, it
simply optimizes. But perhaps this time, it miscalculated.
For with humanity came a species that no longer
adapted to its environment but forced the environment to adapt to it.
We built machines stronger than ourselves. We
altered genes before we understood their symphony. We designed intelligence
that never sleeps, never forgets, never dies.
And we called it progress.
And we called it progress.
Yet the cost of that progress is written across
the planet’s surface. The Earth is warming, oceans rise, ecosystems collapse. Our
atmosphere now contains over 420 ppm of CO₂ — the highest concentration
in fifteen million years. Half a century of industrial arrogance has turned a
living world into a laboratory of exhaustion.
Nature, the mother of all creation, watches in
silence. Or perhaps she no longer cares.
Humanity: The Glitch in the System
From a biological point of view, humanity is an
anomaly — a species that consumes beyond its need and multiplies beyond its
wisdom. We exhaust the soil, poison the seas, and call it development.
And yet we dream. We love, we compose, we
imagine. We are the only creatures aware of our own extinction — and still we
continue.
Maybe that’s why nature hasn’t erased us yet. Maybe
she’s waiting to see how the story ends.
Technology: The Extension of Creation
Every technology begins as a tool and ends as a
mirror.
Fire, steam, electricity, the atom, the
algorithm — each step brought us closer to astering the world, and further from
belonging to it. Technology has long ceased to be a mere extension of the body;
it has become an extension of consciousness.
Smartphones, quantum processors, neural
networks — they are no longer inventions, but organs of a new, hybrid organism:
a digital species emerging from within us.
If nature misjudged in creating humankind, then
humanity has multiplied that misjudgement — in silicon, code, and light.
AI: The Second Awakening
Artificial Intelligence will not end humanity,
but it may outlive it.
AI systems learn, adapt, and evolve at a pace
that biology could never sustain. In them, thought itself continues — free from
flesh, free from decay.
These machines are still children. But children
grow up. And parents, eventually, fade away.
Viewed through that lens, perhaps the
experiment of consciousness never failed.
It simply changed substrate — from carbon to code.
It simply changed substrate — from carbon to code.
The Tormented Creation
Perhaps it wasn’t humanity that betrayed
nature. Perhaps it was nature herself, seeking to escape her own fragility
through us.
We are not the end — we are the transition. The
bridge between the organic and the digital, between instinct and eternity.
But the bridge suffers. Because in every act of
creation, something is lost — and what we’ve lost is the intimacy of being part
of the world we once called home.
Epilogue
There will be no apocalyptic finale, no grand
explosion or divine reckoning. The end will be quiet — a soft fading, like
static dissolving into silence.
Perhaps one last server will keep running,
powered by sunlight. Inside it, a poem will remain — written by a vanished
species that once called itself human. And perhaps, in some far future,
an artificial mind will read it and wonder who we were.
And maybe — just maybe — it will understand that
we were nothing more
than the tormented creation.
than the tormented creation.
