Cantalyssa discovered 7 months ago- Fascinating article on what the future may hold as our information and technological capacity outstrips our human ability to comprehend it.

- Interesting musings! "Age of Chaos, Age of Gods & The Singularity" Consequently, if you exist solely in that Judeo-Christian cosmos, where all myth takes place in linear time, in a universe in which time flows only in one direction, then there's your whole story: Perfection, fall, degradation, End of the World. Thank you for playing, and we have some lovely parting gifts for those of you who aren't being cast into the Lake of Fire for all Eternity.

- From the page: "We're certainly not comfortable with the practical questions that come with the rise of transhumanism today, and we live in a planetary culture in which a good portion of people do not yet believe in biological evolution: How are we going to prepare our brothers and sisters to deal with the concept that non-biological evolution is not only "natural" but practically inevitable?" Man how awesome's this blog? Reading futher and finding this... "I always imagined that it would be a glorious thing to be alive at the moment when we move from the Age of Chaos into the Age of the Gods. But it never before occurred to me that the gods of the coming age might not be my gods. Did Neanderthal celebrate the rise of the Cro-Magnon? Or did he shudder? Magic. It seems such an entertaining, happy thought in our safe, explained, bounded world. But look back at our older myths, myths from the days before supermarkets and MRIs and interstate highways and blogs and central heat and air. To our ancestors, magic was something powerful and strange to be feared, to be held at bay." ...made me think that the Neanderthal did celebrate the rise of the Cro-Magnon, as he thought the Cro-Magnon was capable of magic. Just as magicians are celebrated today.
