I mean, to start with, as a thought exercise, the possibility that simply becoming a force of nature could be a consequential stupid, then there’s what happens and what the species might do with it when it became so, which evidently it did happen, has happened, the species is a force of nature on earth, some may even argue or have a notion that intelligent life here on earth, that consciousness here is a force of nature in the universe, have a less constrained vision, a bigger vision
but I wonder, do humans, does human activity become more life-like, animated like life as it becomes more prolific and everywhere, the good work of the species, end-to-end continuous activity across and planet, and out into space, artificial satellites, then further to the other planets in the solar system
what is to evolve of the anomalous emergence of self-aware consciousness, into machines or from machines also I gather is the trajectory
or, is there this strange devolution, or it would be strange if it were seen so, where an interesting anomaly becomes more subject notions that categorize it more like things, more like something inanimate
it seems perhaps contradictory, the proposition that more everywhere-human-activity may devolve to be perceived as less life-like, more like inanimate things, like a rock, or sand, or the air, whatever, that the momentum of human activity more toward a force of nature might incline that
i’m not saying there is any evidence for such a thing, for such a devolution, it’s a construction anyway, a way of seeing something, a thought exercise, which may arrive at nothing, not much useful, if anything at all, possibly even be a waste of time, and who wants to waste time
but who contemplates the elevation to force of nature, of the species
i’d ask is the species qualified for that, to be there, what indications of restraint are there
