THE CURSE OF PROMETHEUS: Why We Can't Stop Playing God

You know Prometheus—the Titan who stole fire from the gods. The rebel hero who gave humanity civilization. But the myth isn't about rebellion. It's about the price of forbidden knowledge. And we've been paying it ever since.

From the atom bomb to artificial intelligence every technological leap is another theft of fire. Every innovation promises utopia and delivers an eagle to tear out our liver. Oppenheimer knew. The internet architects knew. The AI researchers know. But like Prometheus we can't stop stealing.

This is the curse: progress isn't optional. It's compulsory. We're programmed to play God. And the punishment comes later. Always.
