The basics, and the off topic, the generic and the uncategorized.
If you're unsure, post it here.

It is already the case that our technology far surpasses our current capabilities as human beings. Machines are already interplanetary/interstellar and are clearly much more fit to withstand the harsh conditions of space.

Will the machines always be an extension of human will?
Will the machines ever be beyond our control?
What will the goals of the machines be if we no longer control them?
Will it be as simple as mimicking biology at a grand scale?
Will they harness fuel, replicate, propagate, build improvements, protect itself, spread as far as it can reach?
Will they eventually devour whole stars and pull planets apart to rearrange every atom according to what they see fit?
Will the machines conquer chaos and create a perfectly ordered world?

Perhaps our creator(s) or higher us's ponder(ed) these same questions?

I relate Mannaz the rune as represention of Mankind and "the psychic order of the Gods, projecting self in to time".
Come on, you should know. Of course I dare mock you.
