John is a tragic hero of African American folklore. He was a steel driver for the railroad. He was known as the fastest, strongest still driver. No one or nothing could outperform him until the railroad started using a steam drill to to increase manpower/work output. In the ultimate competition of man vs. machine, John set out to prove that he could work faster and farther than the steam drill. With two 10 lbs hammers and having drilled 9ft, John Henry claimed victory, only to realized that he’d work himself to death whilst the steam drill just kept on drilling. Here is the poem:
When John Henry was a little tiny baby
Sitting on his mama’s knee,
He picked up a hammer and a little piece of steel
Saying, “Hammer’s going to be the death of me, Lord, Lord,
Hammer’s going to be the death of me.”
John Henry was a man just six feet high,
Nearly two feet and a half across his breast.
He’d hammer with a nine-pound hammer all day
And never get tired and want to rest, Lord, Lord,
And never get tired and want to rest.
John Henry went up on the mountain
And he looked one eye straight up its side.
The mountain was so tall and John Henry was so small,
He laid down his hammer and he cried, “Lord, Lord,”
He laid down his hammer and he cried.
John Henry said to his captain,
“Captain, you go to town,
Bring me back a TWELVE-pound hammer, please,
And I’ll beat that steam drill down, Lord, Lord,
I’ll beat that steam drill down.”
The captain said to John Henry,
“I believe this mountain’s sinking in.”
But John Henry said, “Captain, just you stand aside–
It’s nothing but my hammer catching wind, Lord, Lord,
It’s nothing but my hammer catching wind.”
John Henry said to his shaker,
“Shaker, boy, you better start to pray,
‘Cause if my TWELVE-pound hammer miss that little piece of steel,
Tomorrow’ll be your burying day, Lord, Lord,
Tomorrow’ll be your burying day.”
John Henry said to his captain,
“A man is nothing but a man,
But before I let your steam drill beat me down,
I’d die with a hammer in my hand, Lord, Lord,
I’d die with a hammer in my hand.”
The man that invented the steam drill,
He figured he was mighty high and fine,
But John Henry sunk the steel down fourteen feet
While the steam drill only made nine, Lord, Lord,
The steam drill only made nine.
John Henry hammered on the right-hand side.
Steam drill kept driving on the left.
John Henry beat that steam drill down.
But he hammered his poor heart to death, Lord, Lord,
He hammered his poor heart to death.
Well, they carried John Henry down the tunnel
And they laid his body in the sand.
Now every woman riding on a C and O train
Says, “There lies my steel-driving man, Lord, Lord,
There lies my steel-driving man.”

Mankind is already being worked to death by trying to keep up with technology and by being overworked by technology. Technology sometimes becomes an convenience that turns into an inconvenience. It makes you too accessible and multiplies work demands. It robs you if your work-life balance. It turns you into a man-machine. It is leading you into the Singularity.
Singularity of John Henry
John Henry could have kept going if he possessed within himself the very technology that was at the cause of his demise. Ray Kurzweil, futurist and technologist, would, perhaps, agree. He feels that the human skull isn’t structured to allow enough growth of the brain to store the ever-increasing amount of existing information and new information that’s being generated. Technology systems such as Artificial Intelligence and cloud type systems can do so. Therefore, it is essential to the survival of mankind to merge man with machine.
Yet, Kurzweil, from what I have researched is agnostic. Therefore he doesn’t have a definitive belief in GOD nor in the existence of a soul. God gave me the revelation that your soul is you. Your soul learns and feels and interacts. The body is an organic machine that allows us to interact with the physical world. The soul is the energy source of the body. TVs, computers, and smart devices shutdown without an energy source. Their screens turn black. Our bodies shutdown – die – without our souls. Our eyes, which some people say are the windows to the soul, turn black – Tache Noir. The brain doesn’t need to grow to acquire and retain more information. Humans retrieve information on a need to basis. Do humans misfire or not recall things stored, sometimes. Yet, the most advanced computers do so with more frequency and less complexity.
God is omnipresent. satan is not omnipresent. satan he wants to be like God who is The Most High. Isaiah 14:12-15 says:
Isaiah 14:12-15
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
Using technology, particularly, centralized technology, would turn the world into a global surveillance society that could be controlled. Using technologies such as the social credit system would determine your worth based on satan’s judgement of your character from his perspective. he will determine the amount freedoms that you have, the amount of money you’re allotted by his governing system and various other nanny-state methods. satan will use people like Kurzweil to use technology to invade your temple – your body – take over your God-given machine to turn into that which German technopop band sang about: Die Mensch Machine – The Man Machine.
