Re: Destiny of humanity and complex life on the Earth

Measure the ratio of energy expended on competition and conflict to the ratio of energy expended on cooperative networks . Once the system reaches a tipping point of cooperation globally civilization will leap into a higher state of being.

Man cannot help but learn the longer we exist, its an inevitability. Which is going to be a very very long time. We will not die out as frezzy said. Populations will fluctuate and rebalance. The meme. .is the thing. I think I spelled that right? Once certain cooperative networks are established civilization will become greater than its individual parts. The system will allow for an individual to self actualize once this begins to take place civilizations collective energy will pass a bifurcation point. what lies beyond this point. Study past systems in evolutionary biology and you can get some hints. I believe Moontanman is right in that we will connect with other civilizations , but we disagree on the mode. I think once this point is passed we will find an informational system hidden from us now that will be utilized as a galactic neural net. We will become a part of a universal mind. We will not have physically travel when we can do what we are doing now at this very moment. Communications is the thing . Information connects, combines and evolves in a recursive feedback pattern.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
