I review the history of the relationship of technology and human consciousness and explore the implications of the division of the brain into a right and left hemisphere. AI is not only going to take over most jobs in the economy, it will take over our consciousness and we are surrendering it willingly. At root, having been convinced of the idea we have no soul and that we are simply code, we are wide open for takeover by forces, many malevolent, we might otherwise be able to withstand. And if I am asked what is the soul I reply:

The essence of this precious life

The seed upon the flower

The scent within a perfume

The light that is a star

The freedom of the wild west wind

The mist on mountain side

The thought before you think

She knows you from inside.

The sweetness of the desert breeze

You can’t hold in your hand

She’s like the waters of the Nile

She comes from other lands.
