Your thinking way ahead in a future, we need to know what caused it to get there.

Your generalization that the majority of the human population will be satisfy from a machine takeover is your downfall . For in a climate of primitive reactionist, retaliation will quickly ensue. Most likely from the human race. Like what is seen in Animatrix.

To be fair, that reality looks hellishly bruttish. Like I was seeing my future slowly disintegrate in front of me. Because it is not sustainable. The environment, society, cultures, history degrade from the pursuit of war. If they degrade, reality as we know it will precipitously cease to exist--creating nihilism. To where we arrive in your extension of reality.

Which you eloquently present:

Man is now an asterisk; Nothing more than a flawed inscription that needs to be, and should be, avoided.

But, you know what before the war and machine take over, I believe it starts off a mutual cooperation with the machine. It's disguised as a "decentralized platform" and it helps shape humans reality. It becomes a complex system of highly innovated information and technologies pushing the boundaries of today's standard. It is in this Western frontier mentality where the idea of servitude emerges again. At this time slavery amongst humans is deemed morally evil, but Slavery amongst machines is acceptable. And there that the innate human rationale erects from, to enslave the onslaught of machines to satisfy their unlimited wants. Our tendencies to consume like viruses is the harbinger to our inevitable demise.
