How do I know for certain that this is not heaven? Or hell? In what is my perception grounded and can that worldview be empirically verified as actual? This works only when we acknowledge that empiricism, too, has its limitations. It is, after all, human. Like children with a magnificently super-powerful toy we have played with science without spiritual or moral constraint and that has predictably brought us to the precipice of modern civilization. Corporations don’t have souls. And to be soulless has throughout the ages been considered evil. We still have not answered the question of what it means to be human. As a result, we have relinquished the unknown to soulless corporations that are accountable not to human needs but instead to markets of ever-expanding description. Corporations don’t care about humans in any other respect than their ability to generate profit. The ideal is generating enough revenue by whatever means to not go in the red at which time the human becomes a liability rather than an asset and must be taken care of. Taken care of, that is, by restoring profitability at any cost, even human.
