Methinks you express yourself: Methinks you express yourself as perfectly as your brilliance allows. I note this because oftentimes I too find myself groping for words that might not exist, and even hieroglyphics would seem to have better capacity to realizing great answers. I believe the secret is eternal, which no language can unveil -- yet we still have an innate, intuitive knowledge of the streaming source of our lives.

"advancements have altered the degree of magnification of the effect of our actions" strikes me good, and is a principle I share but have never been able to articulate as well as you've just done. A perpetually changing singularity no? Also I really love your thesis on life and death: we believe death may bring us to absolute nothingness, but eternity is another principle to consider -- and that eternity would present to us, after death of worldly dimensions, to something entirely new and inconceivable, again and again.
Interesting, and much to chew: Interesting, and much to chew on.
I was indeed taking a look at your words through a lens of the present and future, even while taking the robots as carrying on as symbolism. A funny thing about poetry - it often filters through where our eyes are fixated, I suppose. But I'd also add, and perhaps this jives more with your intended message, that I would not declare our present and future behaviors as being new - they are similar to those of our 'ancient angels'. It's merely that our surrounding advancements have altered the degree of magnification of the effect of our actions. Perhaps I'm still off base? Regardless, it captured my interest, even if my interest got lost in the woods somewhere :)
Meanwhile, I'm fascinating by your intepretation of my personal philosophy. Particularly because you're not the first person to have shared this type of take with me. I wouldn't quite describe myself that way, which nudges me to wonder whether I might need to significantly improve either (a) my ability to express my viewpoint or (b) my own self-understanding. If I understand myself, as I hope I do, I'd describe my philosophy in regards to human destiny as there not being a specific one for us, but neither that this all leads to an abyss of nothingness, either. I might say that the human existence on the Earth will ultimately lead to an abyss of nothingness, as that seems ultimately inevitable in the scientific sense, even if we can ever find a way to become more than we currently are as a group of societies. But I imagine that in other planes of existence we will carry on. It's possible that some of us will be lost for ever, in that abyss you mention, as I see no guarantee that we'll figure out in some other life/plane of existence what we can't figure out here. But who knows :)
