Fermi’s Paradox

It is solved: there is no need to look outside of the human skull
Brains are the problem; once a certain size is reached, destruction is certain
There will be no sustainable society in a group that has what we are cursed with
The cognitive capacities are the downfall. Effective religions, meditation practices
And drugs reduce and simplify the brain to make it functional, without urges
For power and overgoing. Nietzsche's analysis was spot-on, even if his
Super celebrations deserved more of Sartre's cynical penmanship
Upon the word it is clear: language divides, remembers, distinguishes
Characteristics that wiser creatures shun in favor of ignoring the edges of 
The solar system. We might be grateful to have gotten to experience the
Image of a world sent through an unreasonably large neural network
As we watch ourselves burn it down shackled to just such a tool.
