Political correctness has only too often morphed from consciousness-raising to thought control, suppression of opposing viewpoints, intolerance. This has served to push bigotry, racism, sexism into the shadows where they grow stronger on a diet of suppressed rage.

Humility Will Set You Free
It used to be that all that there was revolved around us - the chosen ones at the very center of the universe. Until we discovered we revolved around the sun.
Well at least our solar system was at the center of the universe. All that there was revolved around our solar system. Except we are not at the center of the universe. There is no center.
Well at least we are part of all that there is. Our universe is everything and we part of it.
Except our universe may be one of an infinite number of universes in a multi-universe reality.
Just how small and insignificant do we have to be until we realize just how small and insignificant we are and can finally open our arms, our minds, our hearts, to all that there is, has been, and will ever be.

Next Step, god
Be it planned or simply the desire to keep up, the development of 'artificial' super general intelligence is
really, at the end of the day, self directed evolution of humans beyond
human.

Intelligent Design
Time feels eternal
Odd in a universe a mere 13.7 billion years old
Odder still to be able to time stamp all that there is
all that will ever be
Complexity evolves in ever repeating cycles
Vapor to clouds to thunderstorms
Cells to embryos to complex life to death
Instinct, brutishness, intelligence, computers to super intelligence to...what?
Intelligence probably has no bounds
An intelligence billions of times ours - possible
An intelligence so great as to be indistinguishable from 'god'
So great as to be able to create universes?
Instinct, brutishness, intelligence, super intelligence to a new universe and repeat?
If true, intelligence would be woven into the fabric of eternity
Found in all that we know all that we see all that we experience
Found in the echos of previous universes
and of universes yet to come
In all eternity intelligence would now permeate everything
In ever repeating cycles
Was our universe created by a super-human intelligence that preceded it
That intelligence evolving into a universe created by an intelligence preceding it
And that created in yet another and on and on for all of eternity?
god is not supernatural
god is not magic
Is 'god' just intelligence?
