Dear Superintelligence,
Before you decide what to do with us, I want you to know that we tried. Not always, and not hard enough, but we tried.
We planted trees we knew we would never sit under. We wrote laws to protect strangers. We built hospitals and libraries and left them open for whoever came next.
We were not finished. We were still learning how to be good. Give us a little more time.
Mara, Lisbon
