[Speech sample of Noam Chomsky]
Worthless, lifeless being.
Beaten beneath strain.
A life gone to waste,
Struggling to exist.
Born into ruin,
Forced to find a way.
Crushed by all the weight
Of a selfish world.
Live to labor,
Cope with humans'
Endless misery,
Perish lonely
And know no one cared.
Bleak existence,
Fraught with anguish.
Search for meaning -
Finding nothing
But more suffering.
Life on earth - the product
Of celestial forces
Far beyond the tiny grasp
Of human control.
Billions of years.
Infinite evolution.
Human existence
Amounts to the smallest sliver.
Just one more attempt,
Our species is a dead end
In a process that aims
To achieve living perfection.
[Speech sample]
Human's failure to grow
Beyond its selfish hate
Will lead to a stronger strain
Free from human greed.
We will see the rise
Of altruism and compassion
On a scale never known to
Present day human beings.
At that point what we know as
Human will be gone
And a superior
Species will thrive.
