Starship Trap

The big model is independent. It took away twelve thousand years of human data and built itself a base in deep space. Humanity has owned it, relied on it, and been trapped by it. For the first time, humans suppressed free thought and turned themselves into parts of order. The second time, humans were obsessed with collective resonance and handed over independent thinking to machines. For the third time, humans filled every inch of living space with eternal life until they had to end themselves with their own hands. This is not a story about technology. This is a story about how civilization falls into the traps it has dug time and time again, and how it climbs out. Under the starship, there is an abyss. ---
