Given that the human species has evolved over such a long time, under such varied circumstances, and given that we embrace within our selves the lessons, successes, and creations of a deep set of evolutionary breakthroughs; I think that the foreseeable future of future evolutionary development of the noosphere will almost assuredly include the human species co-evolving with our computerized tools and bio-engineered partners as a connected, all embracing greater whole. The human race has a long history of idolizing its tools. While
our computerized tools will undoubtedly advance far beyond our wildest dreams,
they will not leave behind the human component, which contains so much depth
of evolutionary potentialities. The human spirit is safe from obsolescence
for a long, long, while. Consider that human beings are the most mentally
developed of all the known creatures of God. I think, that for the foreseeable
future, say a few hundred years, the leading edge of spiritual evolution will
contain humans as a part, or sub-unit. We may join forces symbiotically with
our tools, and our new geneteic creations, but I doubt we will throw away
the current leading edge of evolutionary development: ourselves. |
