I kekd

let me read a letter i received
dear dr. breen

why has the combine seen fit to suppress our reproductive cycle
sincerely,
a concerned citizen

thank you for writing, concerned
of course your question touches on one of the basic biological impulses with all its associated hopes and fears for the future of the species

i also detect some unspoken questions:
do our benefactors really know what is best for us?
what gives them the right to make this kind of decision for all mankind?
will they ever deactivate the suppression field and let us breed again?

allow me to address the anxieties underlying your concerns rather than try to answer every possible question you might have left unvoiced

first,
let us consider that for the first time ever as a species immortality is in our reach. this is simple fact has far reaching implications.
it requires radical rethinking and revision of our genetic imperatives. it also requires planning and forethought that run in direct opposition our neural presets.

I find it helpful in times like these to remind myself that our true enemy is instinct.

instinct was our mother when we were an infant species.
instinct coddled us and kept us safe in those hardscrabble years when we hardened our sticks and cooked our first meals on a wooden fire and started at the shadows that leapt upon the caverns walls

but inseparable from instinct is it's dark twin: superstition.

instinct is inextricably bound to unreasoning impulses, and today we see its true nature

instinct has just become aware of its irrelevance. and like a cornered beast, it will not go down without a bloody fight

instinct would inflict a fatal injury on our species
instinct creates its own oppressors and bids us to rise up against them
instinct tells us that the unknown is a threat, rather than an opportunity
instinct slyly and covertly compels us away from change and progress
instinct therefore must be expended

it must be fought tooth and nail beginning with the basest of human urges: the urge to reproduce

we should THANK our benefactors for giving us respite from this overpowering force
they have thrown a switch and exorcised our demons in a single stroke
they have given us the strength we never could have summoned to overcome this compulsion
they have given us purpose. they have turned our eyes towards the stars

let me assure you the suppression field will be shut off the day that we have mastered ourselves. the day we can prove we no longer need it
and that day of transformation, i have it on good authority, is close at hand
