Maybe these transhuman fascinations are largely vanity.

What if human consciousness is already in the Goldilocks zone?

Between change and stability,

between focus and awareness,

between prediction and manifestation,

between imagination and reality.

What if the speed of AI is too ephemeral to be grounded in resilience?

Maybe you can move the playing field to a degree, but the dynamics may remain analogous to traditional human competition in the physical realm.

Maybe there’s more balance and wisdom in the Design than our egos care to admit. A singularity, by definition, is the antithesis of balance.

Regardless, these musing in no way discount the peril of corrupt stewards.

This is a very intersting notion. I would encourage you to expound upon this! Would love to discuss futher.

Thank you. I'm a bit diverted right now, but I may be able to get back.

Briefly, I wonder why advancement or evolution has to be MORE in the sense of faster, smarter, and more exotic. Could it really be more in the sense of refinement?

Yes, and why does this advancement threaten our ability to keep up? Why isn't it more about keeping up with us as we are? Maybe it's already backfiring.

Corruption is the name of the game on who knows how many levels. There are so many diagnostic and antidotal voices circulating, but the fundamental issue is, how do we correctly and powerfully negotiate this multi-faceted planetary situation... and on how many levels... because 'the good' needs to be at least one level up.
