Finally read All Tomorrows last night and I know why people recommended it to me all the time, it was a very interesting piece of *biopunk* speculative evolution with a fascinating overarching story. It was also a breeze to read, I expected it would be long and a bit tiring (like Man After Man) but no, it was very illustrated and in fact it left you hungry for a bit more, I love the way it lets you fill in the gaps.

Of course, like always, it falls in the same old trope that biotechnology = bad and gross. It doesn't fall straight into saying biotechnology is evil, but the element of body horror is very, very, very much present in all the book. The fact that being warped into abominations is shown as the big event of human evolution reminds me of Man After Man, where "human evolution" doesn't occur "naturally" or as a result of, well, human selection, but as a result of a higher power messing with humans. All those strange beings we see in the book were not the ultimate result of environmental pressures, "artificial" selection or people bioengineering themselves. They were the result of fucked-up eldritch beings who wanted to make fucked-up humans. Which is kind of dissapointing if you are looking for a book that actually talks about future human evolution.
Which brings me to a discussion of the future of human evolution. Because, obviously, humans are evolving today. But I don't think we can see the real effect of biological evolution in the timescale we are managing as current humans. From a quick search, there have been only 500 generations since the arrival of agriculture and thus of all recorded or remembered history as we know it. That's not nearly enough biological time to see any major changes. Yes, there have been changes. And the development of human intelligence and brain size was quick and monumental, with many things we still don't really understand (like the origin of language and abstract thought). But do notice that the body plan of a modern human does not radically depart from Homo erectus, 2 million years ago.
Some authors like Olaf Stapledon (one of the great grandfathers of science fiction) in Last and First Men (which could be considered the 1930s version of All Tomorrows, in fact All Tomorrows to me is the modern Last and First Men) thought that we would continue to have evolutive pressures like natural selection and our species will continue evolving over millions of years. This is true as all species are still evolving including us, but in just a few decades we have discovered genetic engineering, and it won't be too long before, somehow, it is used in the path of our evolution. All Tomorrows of course talks about this with the Star People and later the Asteromorphs, but I believe it leaves out the prospect of humans guiding their own evolution for the (admitedly interesting) plot twist of the Qu changing them themselves.
What would have happened (or rather, what WILL happen) if humans are left to evolve by themselves? I'm sure that we will find somewhen. And I think that cosmetic genetic modification will be part of it, which is why I personally found the depiction of the Star People so boring. Now, I don't think every human will genetically modify themselves into supermodels, for starters, our parameters of attractiveness are based on culture and material conditions, and people will always seek variety, but I do think "sexual selection" would be a major part of human evolution, and that some forms like the Star People, as practical(?) as they are, just don't have the appeal. The utopia of the Star People should have been just as interesting as the dystopia of the Qu, with people experimenting new ways to adapt their bodies and self expression. Not to mention people adapting to the many strange environments of space by themselves (an old sci-fi trope). And of course, there would always be humans who don't want any of that, preferring to stay as they are, or return as they were. None, none of the Asteromorphs desired that at all?
Even in my own biopunk setting, however, the future of human evolution is something I only can see as far as a couple centuries on the future. Anything more than that, with the infinite possibilities of genetic engineering, makes me dizzy to contemplate. So I think All Tomorrows, for daring to do this billions of years in the future, is an amazing book.

Nadeko canonically comes out the end of shinomono against considering AI real art.
Idk if nisio believes that but it’s certainly a makes sense as an opinion to give to Nadeko given the incident of shinomono.
In this way Nadeko’s word play of A.I. circulation in caramel ribbon cursetard could technically come full circle (baddum tsh).

Navigating the Nexus of Transformation: Humanity's Quest for Agency in a Global, Technological, and Cosmic Landscape
As we venture into the uncharted expanse of the 21st century, humanity is at the confluence of three transformative forces: a global revolution synchronizing nearly 190 nations, the dawn of the "Transhumanist Stage" with its revolutionary technologies, and the profound implications of potential extraterrestrial life. This nexus challenges the very essence of our existence, posing fundamental questions about unity, autonomy, and what it means to be human.
The global push for unity, while promising cooperation and peace, veils risks of societal homogenization and totalitarian inclinations. The tension between global synchronization and individual autonomy has reached a critical juncture, necessitating vigilant oversight to ensure that unity enhances, rather than erodes, personal freedoms.
Simultaneously, the Transhumanist Stage, marked by brain-computer interfaces, cognitive enhancements, and immersive metaverse experiences, redefines human boundaries. While promising unprecedented innovation and efficiency, these technologies threaten to dilute individuality and emotional depth. Urgent ethical deliberations are required to safeguard humanity's essence amidst this rapid advancement.
The possibility of extraterrestrial life introduces a cosmic dimension to our transformation, prompting existential inquiries into mutual awareness, influence, and humanity's universal purpose. This line of questioning underscores the enduring philosophical conundrums of our species: the pursuit of meaning and our place within the cosmos.
A common imperative emerges from this complex landscape: the preservation and empowerment of human agency. To navigate the transformative forces shaping our world effectively, a multifaceted approach is crucial. This entails four key strategies: firstly, ensuring global unity while preserving autonomy by vigilant participation in global policy-making to safeguard individual freedoms. Secondly, adopting ethical tech governance through inclusive, forward-thinking discussions that prioritize enhancing human agency, emotional depth, and collective well-being. Thirdly, cultivating critical and communal intelligence by fostering a global culture that values critical thinking, empathetic engagement, and the sharing of diverse perspectives. Lastly, embracing existential inquiry to reflect on humanity’s identity, leveraging profound existential questions as a catalyst for resilience and adaptability in the face of uncertainty.
By embracing these strategic imperatives, humanity can harmonize the transformative potential of global unity, technological advancement, and cosmic awareness with the indelible essence of our humanity, forging a future that is at once progressive, resilient, and profoundly human.

america needs to get over its sexual repression and bigotry.
cure STDs and world hunger/poverty. eat the rich. solar/hopepunk our way out of this. legalize all the drugs and prostitution. stop endless war. no more planned obsolescence.
remove nazis/bigots from power.
it would be a day/night difference. very close to utopian.
get a little closer to Star Trek and actually EVOLVE..

AI bros be like: No you don't understand I couldn't have made my horrible flesh golem without robbing all of those graves and that's why it's okay for me to rob graves. Please think of all the apprentices who could use the golem to cheat on their exams, please I promise it's a public good, you can use it too if you want, please just let me keep robbing graves so I can give it more kidneys it neeeeeeds them. It's so strong and has a soul and I just need fifteen more livers before it will become god please just give me back my shovel pleeeease! I promise it will cause untold devastation but like in a safe way so I just need to break into one more family crypt bro you just have to listen to me.

A Symphony of Innovation: Uniting AI, Physics, and Philosophy for a Harmonious Future
In the great fabric of human knowledge, three disciplines are intertwined and influence each other in subtle but profound ways: artificial intelligence (AI), physics, and philosophy. The harmonious convergence of these fields shows how the symphonic union of the technological advances of AI, the fundamental insights of physics, and the ethical and existential questions of philosophy can create a more sustainable, resilient, and enlightened future for all.
The Melodic Line of AI: Progress and Challenges
The development of Large Language Models (LLMs) represents a high point in the rapid evolution of AI, demonstrating unprecedented capabilities in processing and generating human-like language. However, this melody is not without discord: the increasing demands on computational resources and the resulting environmental concerns threaten to disrupt the harmony of innovation. The pursuit of efficiency and sustainability in AI thus becomes a critical refrain, underscoring the need for a more nuanced, multidisciplinary approach.
The Harmonic Undertones of Physics: Insights from the Veneziano Amplitude
Beneath the surface of AI's technological advances lie the harmonious undertones of physics, where the Veneziano Amplitude's elegant reconciliation of strong interactions, string theory, and cosmological insights provides a sound foundation for innovation. This physics framework inspires a cosmological perspective on AI development, suggesting that the inherent complexities and uncertainties of the universe can foster the creation of more adaptable, resilient, and sustainable AI systems. The Veneziano Amplitude's influence thus weaves a subtle but powerful harmony between the technical and the physical.
The Philosophical Coda: Ethics, Existence, and the Future of Humanity
As the symphony of innovation reaches its climax, the thoughtful voice of philosophy enters with a coda of existential and ethical questions. Given the vast expanse of the universe and humanity's place in it, we are compelled to take a more universal and timeless approach to AI ethics. This philosophical introspection can lead to a shift in focus from individualism to collectivism, or from short-term to long-term thinking, and ultimately inform the development of more responsible and harmonious AI-driven decision-making processes.
The Grand Symphony: Uniting AI, Physics, and Philosophy for a Harmonious Future
In the grand symphony of innovation, the convergence of AI, physics and philosophy results in a majestic composition characterized by:
- Sustainable innovation: AI technological advances, grounded in the fundamental insights of physics, strive for efficiency and environmental responsibility.
- Cosmological inspiration: The complexity and uncertainty of the universe guide the development of more adaptable and resilient AI systems.
- Universal ethics: The reflective voice of philosophy ensures a timeless, globally unified approach to AI ethics that takes into account humanity's existential place in the cosmos.
The Eternal Refrain of Harmony
As the final notes of this symphonic essay fade away, the eternal refrain of harmony remains, a reminder that the union of AI, physics, and philosophy can orchestrate a future that is not only more sustainable and resilient, but also more enlightened and harmonious. In this grand symphony of innovation, humanity finds its most sublime expression, a testament to the transformative power of interdisciplinary convergence.
