Everything you want - not what you need


These three Springbok Antelopes have everything they want - food, water, health, and so on [see photo]. They are like most folk today. They are smug and self-satisfied. And yet, these Antelopes do not have the one thing they need. They need to be protected from the predators that roam freely through their grasslands. These Antelopes do not want for the speed to out sprint a lurking predator but that asset only slightly lessens the chances of them being targeted by any number of killers. The same is true for you. You work hard on fulfilling your wants. You have a college degree, a trade, art skills, sales techniques, etc. You have a home bought with the aid of a 30 year mortgage. You have started a family. And so on. But. You spend little time delineating your needs. Thus you are defined by your wants and like the Springbok Antelope you are easy prey for the great predators in your environs. Soon a new predator [Super AI] will be set free to roam the grasslands around you. This predator will be faster than you. It will work harder than you. It will be more intelligent than you. And, eventually, it will target you as its prey. Richard
