Which aspects do you think makes a person unique?
Right now, inside the smooth programming of commercial and cultural ventures, there are intense and criminal plots to digitize millions of human beings. It is my understanding that human beings are unique from head to toe, and I have warmed up completely to the idea that imitating our heroes is a waste of time. There is only one John the Baptist. There will never be another Sojourner Truth. The colour of our eyes is not copied onto any other human being. I believe in extreme uniqueness.
The discovery of finger prints did nothing to dampen racist conspiracies and religious bigotry. The billions of dollars spent on looking for another Earth might have been put to giving boys and girls all over the planet a chance to put their unique treasures on display and to good practical use.
It is a shameful outrage for the manipulators of public thought, health and wealth to try to make people gather up and mindlessly mimic the stars and personalities of our times. The dignity and majesty of unique personhood are often the first elements to be stripped away when people begin to assert their legacy and dreams. Every combination of human traits and attributes is unique. Oh my! What will the quantum equations be? Can the computers handle the complexity?
