Description: Life and intelligence must never stagnate; it must re-order, transform and transcend its limits in an unlimited progressive process. Our goal is the exuberant and dynamic continuation of this unlimited process... - Max More People are so tuned in to the near term that they aren't thinking in terms of decades. Yet, over the long run, we have a chance of fundamentally changing humanity. Many people sense this, but don't want to think about it because the change is too profound. - Daniel Hillis On any world the wind eventually wears away the stone, because the stone can only crumble; the wind can change. -Spock But while change is painful, it's necessary too. Without it, without turbulence and decay and unity in variety, there's no rebirth, and life stagnates and dies. We fear change, but perhaps we should fear lack of change more, because the ultimate lack of change is death. It's change itself that brings meaning and richness to life. - Gregory J. E.

thoughtwaretv ::: Favorites In this sense, we may observe that a system transforms itself in another one, over time. Technological change will increasingly play a role in the way in which life and intelligence will continue to adapt. Technological change will both impact and transform Human Evolution. 07-10-07 13:31:45 __________________________________________________
thoughtwaretv ::: Favorites Thanks for sharing your thoughts Depotmaster. :) I don't agree that evolution is the wrong word. From the most general perspective, evolution is usually the long internal process which changes structural properties of its carrier system. 07-10-07 13:25:07 __________________________________________________
Depotmaster ::: Favorites I wouldn't say that. Technological progress is effectively just cultural change. Evolution assures the groups of people with the greatest success to spawn. That would be: Mexicans, Indish, Arabs... So evolution is the wrong word. It should't be used for civil society. Its proven that utilitarianism is more pragmatic while social Darwinism failed. 07-10-07 11:38:04 __________________________________________________
thoughtwaretv ::: Favorites Because Technological Progress as means of Human enhancement is the real engine of current Human evolution. 07-10-06 22:54:05 __________________________________________________

thoughtwaretv ::: Favorites Intelligence, biological or not, can aim for goals which it hopes/computes/aims to achieve. Given enough time and resources, a task could be achieved and become a reality tomorrow. Many great contributions have been done by AI that apply this idea. As the algorithms get better, they'll eventually do this with far more computational awareness. 07-10-01 00:06:54 __________________________________________________
thoughtwaretv ::: Favorites Depotmaster: Dreams of yesterday refer to the memories of yesterday, as in unfinished goals. Hopes of today, refer to the wish to fulfill that goal, to accomplish it. And the reality of tomorrow, means that it can aim for a reality that can be achieved. 07-10-01 00:06:22 __________________________________________________
KitPandorius ::: Favorites virtual worlds, and now open source virtual worlds and social groups exist massively its not long until we liberate ourselves in move into a reality that we can openly change and evolve in a consciouse sense instead of a physical one. 07-09-16 23:47:10 __________________________________________________
