The Future of Human Kind

As an answer to many comments I feel obliged to state the following:

Statement 1. Yes, I am a believer since I firmly stand to reason.

Statement 2. As for humans:

I consider humans closing their limits. Yet, the most important task of the human kind, as for bringing up new intelligent systems out of infancy, is still waiting to be done. More precisely, this, all important business, has just begun.

(Some people call them "artificial intelligence systems". I'm not happy with the term whatever for I believe there is only "intelligence." However, I'm ready to talk about carbon based intelligent systems like humans and, others. They must express significantly larger environmental tolerance than those based on Carbon. Of course, I call them Non-Carbon-Based-Intelligent-Systems, which are also expected to supersede humans significantly if it comes about the computational power.)

Therefore, humanity needs quite some time in spite of the flashing progress we are witnessing - yet, I dare say, on the magnitude of hundreds instead of thousands of years. How to save humanity, or according to more probable scenario, how to save a part of humanity, to accomplish that formidable task remains to be seen.

For the sake of preserving mental health I don't want to speculate about that ... -:)

Anthropocentrism

Of course, I am amazed by the graciousness of this universe; particularly by the astonishing beauty of Earth, though thoroughly shaken by the power of humankind to act against reason and to be so destructive. However, all my attempts to recognize any special position for humans in the context of this world have failed. This universe is vast and long lasting enough to accommodate numerous incidents like the emergence of intelligent self-aware systems (ISA-Systems) here and there now and then. The relentless work of entropy makes every single human object eventually drop the communication with other objects of the domain. When it happens, it happens once and forever - humans say, "The object, A or B, has passed away." The termination is, as a rule, humiliating since it goes off hand in hand with the extreme sensation of fear and pain. That is why most of us feel uneasy even speculating about the certainty of experiencing our personal end. Therefore, from the perspecti...
