"Against the Dying of the Light is a song reflecting on humanity in 2025; about accepting who we are and what led us here, since the past can’t be changed. Then about refocusing our attention on the challenges ahead, like pervert incentives and algorithms that aren't in line with human flourishing.
And even though we have enormous opportunities with new technology that can eventually design and copy itself, we don’t have to build it right away if it has the potential to make us obsolete. We can rebel against these replicators, rebel against the dying of the light."
- José González
Accept who you have become
Where you're from
All things set,
all things gone
Relax your judging mind
Let what's been just be
There's no reset, no rewind
Embrace who we could be
the future you
The future me
Disconnect from every algorithm
Every perverse incentive
That drags you down
Let's rebel against the replicators
Against the dying of the light
Kill the codes that feed the hate
Keep the codes that make you thrive
Celebrate the fu**ing fact that we're alive
