We are slowly entering the Age of Human-Machine-Symbiosis. Sure - it’s all very crude at the moment and we are still ’smarter’ then machines.

But …

Can you remember all the telephone numbers of your friends?

Would you socially disappear if you cell phone would be gone?

Do you mostly use computers as a bridge to communicate with others - or just your human ‘interface’?

Can you still perform easy calculations without a machine?

Can you write a perfect text without a keyboard and automatic spelling checker?

Can you entertain yourself without a digital machine delivering moving images, games or music to you?

Let’s be honest: of all the legal drugs chocolate in all it’s pleasurable incarnations is not only the sweetest, but the most addictive. Chocolate has a smoothing influence in our brains and our stomachs. It’s instant (self)love in many shapes and states (still waiting for ‘inhalable’ chocolate).

But worse of all: you can get chocolate everywhere. It’s not like Heroine or Cocaine, it’s legal and everybody wants to sell it to you. Evildoers even give you chocolate for free - as a present or gratification. We even give it to our youngest kids as an incentive for good behavior - and so we start their addiction pretty early.

Nobody can escape the charming taste of chocolate! Whole nations like Belgium and Switzerland have based their economies on the production of this drug - like Afghanistan relies on Poppy production.

But please keep all these secrets to yourself - otherwise some American nut job declares a ‘War on Chocolate’ …
