ZFT - Destruction Through Technological Progress

Zerstörung durch Fortschritte der Technologie, or Destruction Through

Technological Progress, is a rare self-published anonymous manuscript.

The document explains how scientific and technological progress will lead to the

destruction of our universe. It also describes the existence of a parallel world

inhabited by beings not unlike ourselves existing in a history slightly ahead of our

own. The document further states that a way to travel between the universes has

been discovered and that the final outcome of these travels will be the survival of

only one of the two worlds.

"Our technological ambitions have not only driven us to the brink of catastrophe,

the catastrophe has already begun. What will the apocalypse look like? The answer

-- to use a term generally understood but the specifics of which you cannot

imagine, and which this document will attempt to describe -- is 'warfare.'"

"In all of history, only a few bloodlines have been found to be ready for the work of

our body. Only very few of those of the right lines are capable of dealing with the

responsibility and fewer still are able to field the weapons..."

"Many warriors of the inevitable confrontation are among us now - but before they

can be considered soldiers, they must be regarded as recruits. And the expectation

must be that they shall be unwilling."

"A black horizon approaches. Our scientific advancements have so dramatically

outpaced those of the human soul that man, a creation defined by passion and

greed, now stands at the base of a pyramid of knowledge which expands

heavenward with with no regard for the the frailty of its foundation. We will, as a

species, surely be crushed beneath its weight.

"But we will not simply perish. The very fabric of our universe will be torn to rags."

"Like an infant conducting the firmament, these technological trends will

produce a cumulative impact far more catastrophic than the minds of its

architects can possibly understand."

"Against those men of science, whose grand investigations will usher in the

cataclysm, stand only a handful who can see beyond the horizon; Soldier angels

who must watch over and protect us before the blind, thoughtless beast fed by

thousands upon thousands of our...

Pandora's force open the locks of Nature and compel her to spill... her precious

secrets."

"Of all the beings considered for the gift of continuance, only those who qualify at

the molecular level are to be approached.

...not their resistance deflect our intent. All rules of societal...

behavior are void in the pursuit of the goal. Morality has no place in the coming

battle and those that hesitate will perish in the coming..."
