A man throughout his history, tried to make his life easier. Whether it is the manufacture of primitive tools of labor or migrations to other continents. Of course we understand that he was driven by his usual animal instincts, for example, the instinct of self-preservation.
And this is partly true.
But what made a person create a car or a washing machine?
The answer is laziness.
Laziness is our main driver in the race to improve living conditions.
The fact is that, as in society, there is a struggle for resources in our body. And our body and brain share them.
Despite its small volume, our brain is a reactor that consumes the lion's share of calories. And he does not want to share with anyone.
Thanks to its uniqueness and processing power, the brain does everything to make us move less and eat more. At the dawn of humanity, the brain was very hungry. Constant hunting and hard life demanded high physical exertion from a person. And naturally, it was unacceptable for the brain. And he worked, worked very hard.

Everything that surrounds us is the action of the brain on our immobilization. Cars, remote controls, etc.
But getting fat is also not an option, so the brain is looking for a way out of this vicious circle.
How to immobilize a person without losing access to nutrient resources?
And I must say, the brain is losing. The proportion of obese people in developed countries is growing dramatically. If the brain of an ancient man had millions of years to evolve, then in our age of the highest technologies the brain is a hostage of its own achievements.
Despite the growing popularity of sports and physical education in the world, we still lose to obesity.
But the brain has a side path. He strongly pushes humanity into the study of digital technologies. The brain knows that it is there that the coveted Eldorado is located.
The brain understands that its transition from biological to electronic form will solve a lot of problems. You will not need to use the body or you can completely immobilize it. Getting energy will be direct without wasting food digestion. The volumes of processed information will increase due to the direct digital connection. Emotions and speech are completely abolished.
There will be no need for procreation. Electronic existence implies eternity.
And if you look at the development of digital technologies, until this moment is not long.
And then what?
I think at some point, our brain will instill in us the delights of digital existence. The prospect of living forever will break our way of life. And we, like obedient, happy sheep, will ourselves climb into the glass flasks of the "Matrix".
