Looking back in human history,

we only focus on human evolution and its interaction with the environment.

The evolution of organisms is accompanied by the evolution of humans,

from primitive humans to modern humans,

Neanderthals and Crumanu.

Now, it’s interesting that what you see here has three backbones:

biology, anthropology, the development of civilization,

and human expression as culture.

What you are seeing at this time is the evolution of the population, not the evolution of the individual.

Also, if you look at the relevant timetable.

Life has a history of 2 billion years,

primitive humans have a history of 60 million years,

and modern humans as we know them have a history of 100,000 years.

You will gradually understand the essence of the condensed human evolutionary model.



Then when we talk about agriculture, science, and the industrial revolution,

it is only 10,000 years, 400 years, and 150 years of history.

You will see a more condensed evolutionary process.

So we entered a new evolutionary course.

This process will be condensed to the point where we can all be aware of its existence,

in our lifetime, in our generation.

The new evolution originated from two kinds of information:

digital and imitation,

digital is artificial intelligence,

and imitation technology is produced by molecular biology and biological cloning technology,

and neurobiology combines the two closely.

In the face of the old evolutionary model,

natural selection is competing for the survival of the fittest.

Under the new evolutionary model,

they will exist independently of the outside world as a mutually-helping non-competitive group.



Interestingly, now evolved to become individual autonomy process

from the bottom as an autonomous individual, rather than passive individual is under the domination of the collective imaginary.

Therefore, a new human being with a new personality and a new idea was born.

But this is only the beginning of a new evolutionary cycle.

Because the next cycle

entered a new wisdom.

With the accumulation of wisdom and ability, the

speed will change until it reaches a climax in a certain sense.

It can be imagined as the momentary great satisfaction

of human beings, and as the massive release of the potential of new human beings in an instant.

It may be the expansion of the individual, the reproduction of the

individual , and the symbiosis with the individual, no longer limited by time and space.

And these new manifestations of human evolution will be dramatic beyond expectations.

The old evolution is cool and barren, but still effective.

It is manifested in the adaptability of society to it.

When you talk about parasitism, domination, morality, war, plunder.

These will become secondary, and

these will degenerate.

The new evolutionary patterns give us a new special micro-

truths, human characteristics of loyalty, justice and freedom of

these will be the evolution of the performance,

it will be our most anticipated.

To look at human development

Look at the organism's evolution……and his environmental interaction.

Evolution of the organism begins with evolution through the hominid…

…Coming to the evolution of man.

Neanderthal, Cro-Magnon.

Now, what you're looking at here are three strings:

Biological, anthropological, development of cultures…

…and cultural, which is human expression.

What you've seen is the evolution of populations, not individuals.

Then look at the time scale involved.

Two billion years for life, six million for hominid…

…100,000 years for mankind as we know it.

You see how the evolutionary paradigm telescopes.



Then when you get to agriculture, scientific and industrial revolution…

…you're looking at 10,000 years, 400 years, 150 years.

You see a further telescoping of evolutionary time.

As we go through the new evolution…

…It will telescope to the point where we see it within our lifetime.

The new evolution stems from two types of information:

Digital and analog.

Digital is artificial intelligence.

Analog results from molecular biology and cloning.

You knit the two with neurobiology.

Under the old paradigm, one would die, the other would dominate.

Under the new paradigm, they exist as a supportive…

…non-competitive grouping, independent from the external.

So evolution now becomes an individually centered process…

…emanating from the individual…

…Not a passive process with the individual at the collective's whim.

So you produce a neo-human…

…with a new individuality, a new consciousness.

That's only the beginning of the cycle.

As it proceeds, the input is this new intelligence.

As intelligence piles on intelligence, ability on ability...

…the speed changes until you reach a crescendo.

Imagine it as an instant fulfillment of human and neo- human potential.

It could be the amplification of the individual…

…the multiplication of individual, parallel existences…

…with the individual no longer restricted by time and space.

And the manifestations of this neo-human evolution…

…could be dramatically counterintuitive.

The old evolution is cold, it's sterile. It's efficient.

Its manifestations are those of social adaption.

You're talking about parasitism, dominance, morality…

…War, predation.

These will be subject to de-emphasis and de-evolution.

The new paradigm would give us the traits…

…of truth, loyalty, justice and freedom.

These would be manifestations of this evolution. That's what we hope.

The new evolution emphasizes symbiosis and does not deny the status quo. There is no hostility to corrupt politics, morals, wars, great achievements, urban planning, etc. The words revolution, subversion, liberation, and dynasty change will no longer be the motto in the new evolutionary process. The old evolution continues to exist, just as the farmland continues to exist and the factory continues to exist. The new world is a non-adversarial and competitive symbiosis of the new evolution and the old evolution, complementing each other to construct a new order, and jointly reorganize into the new system of tomorrow.

With the advancement of digital technology and simulacrum technology, as well as the acquired perfection of neurology, the popularization of movies, video games, the Internet, Google, virtual reality, and AI has made the living space of new humans independent of the original real space. It exists outside (urban, agricultural), and it is richer and more exciting. This is countless boundless spaces, just like the existence of countless imaginary numbers outside the real number axis. In the new world, we can instantly experience all the cultural emotions accumulated by generations of the original world, can immediately feel the historical character of thousands of old human civilizations, and quickly recognize every kind of knowledge and experience in the old evolutionary process. . In the same way, you can "different heads and heads" at the same time, and your body praises a certain place, while your brain and consciousness can gallop freely in all corners of the world. Everything came so easy, everything became so insignificant.

Moreover, this living space is completely personal, personal experience, and personal cognition. Every person who exists is both a terminal and a protagonist; both a slave there and a god there. There is no illusion, but real existence. Because we are moved, excited, satisfied, imagining, and creating there. Therefore, we exist. At the same time, the new space is free, there is no life or death, and the experience time in the traditional sense is invalidated here. Huangliang Yimeng, no, it is countless different eras (Tang Dynasty, Qing Dynasty, Middle Ages, New York, Pure Land of Bliss, etc., single choice or multiple choice), different regions (Maya, Paris, Chang'an, Huaihai Road, Muwei) Second, etc., single-choice or multiple-choice), different styles (gothic, punk, rococo, industrial, Zen, single-choice or multichoice) of Huang Liangmeng, no climax, no ending .

"Imitation" is the main manifestation of this early stage of evolution, virtual reality, reappearance. However, through the selection, editing, reorganization, and reproduction of the old civilization, we will be presented with a new world landscape. Moreover, the most important thing is that new individuals who exist as individuals will be new creatures in the new world.

How to be a "new human"?

First, let us remember the name of a band: joy division. Enjoy the split. Just as the new evolution and the old one live in symbiosis, we must learn to split our multiple personalities simultaneously and enjoy the process of splitting. In the real world, in order to maintain our physical bodies, we must respect the way of survival under the old order of reality. Find a simple job, support yourself, find a virtuous wife, and breed offspring. Honor the elderly, pay taxes in accordance with the law, do not run red lights, do not spit anywhere... When we enter the new world, our soul emerges, and our inner multiple personalities begin to appear, doing whatever we want. You can be an old man who complains about the world, you can be an innocent boy, you can be a careful-thinking commander, you can be a dissatisfied slut; you can be Hitler, you can be Gandhi, you can be Monkey King, you can be Yu Xuanji, single Selected or multiple selected. No one will limit your performance, no one will expose your scam, as long as you perform well, as long as you make up fun. You are set free and satisfied. There is no ethics that sustains the old evolution in this world. Split to your heart's content, enjoy the pleasure of splitting.

Secondly, let us remember the name of a novel, Neoromancer (Neuromancer). In the new world, our main activity is "roaming". There is no purpose, no ideal, no struggle, no dedication, and death. . Our living space is complex and huge enough. We live in a "post" era. Do nothing. Happy roaming. sufficient. Don't worry about getting lost, the split is for the realization of yourself as a whole. Because you are free, you will feel more lonely. At the same time, you will have the opportunity to think deeply about the essence of being.

Turn into a butterfly and pick your colorful flowers here.
