I can think of a few things. From what I gather, it's a depiction of bliss and ignorance. Some thoughts that the picture brings are..... I think a new social order of accepting destructive and dangerous practises as good is in it's infancy. The love of money...(a hollow idol) before the love of fellow man is a plague that is increasing dramatically within our society. People being punished for money crimes far worse than people punished for sex crimes and murder is another good example of that. People acting on instincts based on the good of themselves instead of the good of all man kind is another example. Sex being reduced to the level of a simple game is another great example. I think God does work in mysterious ways and I firmly believe that all humanity is in the process of being blinded by instant gratification and self centeredness. A picture is worth a thousand words so make up your own caption folks. I'm listening!
Yes, I agree with you, I would hate being part machine but never-the-less, we are being programmed to think that this would be a much better existance with every generation (some, think this would be great) as cutting edge technology grows by leaps and bounds.
The lure of "being all you can be" will be very strong not to mention the whole living forever aspect.
Speaking of viruses and glitches....
Did you ever wonder if maybe something similar to this happened before say, in pre-flood days? It's said that there's nothing new under the sun. Maybe this is why only a handful of people (Noah and his family members) lived and the others perished. Humans have a knack for "accepting destructive and dangerous practises" and maybe Noah realized this. If you do not believe there was "A Flood" you may kindly disregard/ignore my talk of such matters.
Mind you, this isn't just a whim idea of the advancement/control of society. Well over three decades ago, I read the predictions of a cashless society and meshing man & machine (manchine?) into a flawless, smooth running machine devoid of the woes of mankind, in a magazine called OMNI.
I never thought I would live to see it come about and if I did, I never thought society would be happy to see it happen, either. I was wrong. Much of the "New World Order" is falling into place and will probably be ready to go in about 5 to 7 years if even that long, give or take a plague or terrorist attack or two.
I'm sure when the times comes, we will be given that option - our last decision as a human being.

Hmm... I've really never thought about it that way, but it seems to make sense. Maybe that's why we're not all robots... because we were given the gift of free will. If you read the parable of the prodigal son, it's a commonly held theory that the older brother is supposed to represent the Pharisees and that the story was actually just as aimed at their legalism as at the "sinners" and their acts.

Good thinking. By the way, wouldn't the evolutionists and other scientists that claim that our nature are above our will would go on the same list as the Pharesees as well as New World Order/microchip fanatics. By equating us with monkeys they implicitely deny our human nature.
Following this logic, sin itself, such as adultery, also kind of denies our human nature since we go alone with our animal impulses that prove stronger than the HUMAN desire to resist the sin. Note: the desire for sex is not specifically human; the desire to resist sin IS. So here is a list:
1)New World Order enslaves ppl to a huge computer
2)Pharesees enslave ppl to legalism
3)Evolutionists implicitely enslave humans to their monkey nature
4)Adultery and other forms of sin enslave humans to their nature by their actions.
This all sums up in: "Jesus answered them, "Amen, amen, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin" (John 8:34)
