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.

An hour and 17 minutes into Defunctland's new video. It's crazy to think that the first person to basically say "we should replace artists with robots/AI!" was... Walt Disney himself.

Defunctland's new video, you should watch it.

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).

The pyramid of human modes

Something that crossed my mind recently is my own place in the world, who am I, where do I fit in, what role am I playing in life/lives of others, what am I contributing, where do I rank in the level of success or status in this life, why am I so far behind, why don't I ever seem to fit in. So many questions about my worth, and I realized that there is a "pyramid of human modes" this is not an official term that exists but let's call it this so that you can see each stage of humanity that exsists out there.

Starting from the beginning level to the end, this will show the way that humans can evolve or remain stuck sometimes and most times in things that are not in their control unfortunately.

Hopefully this helps someone who may need some clarity and hope in their lives like I do.

Level 1 Existence mode:

In exsistence mode, this is the lowest, toughest/most heart wrenching level to be in. Fighting to simply remain alive, the battle between your life and physical body.

Here people are dealing with all major health issues like cancer, sudden serious illnesses, disabilities, physical distress, disconnection, limited cognitive function, their breathing, heart rate, body temperature, all the variety of things when it comes to the physical body. Your organs, your nerves, your bodily function, your brain, your sight, your bones, hands, feet, legs, nose etc. The most basic things you need in order to actually live and have a quality of life.

In this mode you can't focus on anything other than overcoming your own body and health issues. How could you focus on anything else when the very thing you need to survive is being taken away from you.

So it's a really sucky place to be in and my heart goes out to anyone struggling with this. My only hope is that everyone in this stage can eventually heal and by miracle if needed, make it to the next stage and upward.

Level 2 Survival mode:

In survival mode, imo there is many people around the world in this stage, stemming from homelessness to living pay check to pay check. Some of them are even on the cusp of level 1 and 2, so dealing with major/minor health issues while also still having the ability to fight to survive in the smallest ways they can.

Here they are able to meet their basic needs, food, water, shelter, safety, respond to threats or stress.

Their main focus is on immediate survival, hyper vigilance, stress. Interestingly, there is many people in this stage who can't even fathom a life beyond this but some others who long for more. There's so many different kinds of people in this mode.

Some of the most dangerous people can be in this stage bc they don't really care about the future, have hope or just not mentally strong/deep enough to see things through. They don't think of the future period, just living the moment. Many criminals live here, and most of the time their mindset is focused on their own selfish desires, some of them are mentally emotionally unstable but healthy enough to not be in exsistence mode.

Now that I think about it, there is evolution levels within survival mode, so the ones on the cusp, health battles but still able to provide their basic needs, the ones with mental/emotional issues but still physically able, the ones who are striving for more yet still stuck in the loop of trying to provide themselves with basic necessities, the ones with the general physical health in check, having their basic needs met but may be morally corrupt which keeps them trapped here not able to evolve. This could even apply to celebrities at times people who do have money, stability but yet mentally don't have the maturity to get out of the survival mindset. In the survival mode many people can see eachother as enemies, fighting for resources, it's like our basic primial self which is not always the healthiest/kindest.

Alot of people can mentally be in survival mode even when their life isnt this would be considered on the cusp of survival mode/stability mode. But yeah the general idea of survival mode is that people are trapped in fighting for their basic needs and trying to make it through the day/week/month etc. There's not much room for mental/emotional/physical evolution bc all their focus is on making ends meet, surviving financial difficulties, mental health issues and things of that nature. Some people can even be comfortable here, it's really a mixed bag like I said. Most people are in this mode now days.

Level 3 Stability mode:

In stability mode, these people don't have many health/mental set backs, they are able to provide for themselves/others, fit in with societal standards, they can be kind of stagnant, comfortable, mediocre life styles. But this mode is not with out it's own struggles and challenges like the others, yes they may have financial stability and overall security but they may be so consumed with having stability and maintaining it that they can't dedicate time to their creative self, that comes when you have the freedom and room to spread your wings/explore other possibilities of life.

Just like in survival mode, many people now days are in stability mode. Think of it like how society primes us from a young age to be the perfect citizen, finacially responsible, stable career, moderately successful, family oriented, traditional life styles. If you are in this stage consider yourself lucky to have the ability to provide for yourself and others, fit in, have generally good health and be in control of your life. But for some people, they can be very unhappy in this mode. Bc most of their life is kind of controlled by societal rules and what other people think. It's kinda like being on autopilot, I think most people in the world arent born with extreme health issues/disabilities or mental issues. So a lot of people kind of naturally build themselves up with the guidance of societal expectations and generations of traditions to become the responsible/stable people they are.

The unfortunate part of this mode is some people are kind of like just going through the motions, trying to maintain stability that they don't get to truly explore beyond this stage. Which is their spiritual, emotional, mental being, they lack self expression/exploration, creativity, evolution of their entire being and its potential. It's kind like they're in the survival mode of stability mode, yes it's better than being in survival mode but it's lacking freedom from expectations and exploring their personal potential. It's very close tho, they have the tools to evolve but sometimes they may be mentally in the dark of what else is out there. Kind of just living the life they were raised and taught was the way to be. Here people can be comfortable bc they have everything they need, societial approval, finacial cushion to have their needs met and some more, some people even see nothing wrong with this stage bc they arent in lack of the basic essentials of life. But what happens is some people are stuck and may not even understand why they are unhappy where they are sometimes, it's bc they are living a life that was in a way curated by someone else. Their parents and their traditions, their teachers, society etc. It's the average working class citizens in this mode to give you an idea of what kind of people are here.

Something to keep in mind about both survival mode and stability mode is they each have their cognitive limitations, so their lifestyles limit their intellectual abilies and even effect how successful they are. When people are just surviving they can't really prioritize complex thinking, problem solving or intellectual pursuits, memory/focus.. same with stability mode but in a different way, those in stability mode may suffer from narrow thinking, comfortability, structure/routine, indoctrination, limited exposure due to being complacent, not challenging themselves. All these things contribute to how they evolve or don't evolve in the world. Sometimes I wonder if the government wants to keep people stuck in survival and stability mode to keep them in their control, never allowing them to reach a level of mental clarity that can put them so much more ahead. When someone is mentally unbound I feel that unlocks so much crazy potential.. it can be a threat to those higher up.

Level 4 Growth mode:

In growth mode, many people are in this mode too but it's a lot less when compared to stability and survival mode.

I've realized that with each mode I've mentioned so far can be described by lower class, middle class and higher class. Growth mode being attached to the higher class.

So around 40-50% of people globally are in survival mode now days, 30-40% in middle class (stability mode) and 10-20% in growth mode to give you an idea.

So with growth mode people have evolved past the stage of maintaining stability and seeking security, they are not mentally, emotionally, physically, financially held back for the most part. They find the idea of being stable and comfortable as stagnating/unfulfilling. So in this mode people strive for more than just to fit into societial expectations.. a lot of these people are what you'd see in todays times, such as those in high ranking career fields, law enforcement, health fields, the government, celebrities, influencers, people born from rich/successful families, so they kind of have more advantages, opportunities and help that stability mode/working class people didn't have. This is unfortunately where some people can be somewhat evil, greedy, selfish, superficial, egotistical.

I guess you can even say that all these human modes can be applied to our mentalities and not just our daily lives bc many people overlap and have a bit of each one of these in their personalities if that makes sense.

So they have all their basic needs met, they fit societal expectations, have evolved past stability mode and have the luxury of exploring themselves creatively and realising their potential. Some people in this mode can be heavily focused on hustle mentality where they're kind of on the cusp of stability mode, seeking security but also blessed enough to overcome that to dedicate time to their own individual evolution. They understand that they need stability to survive in this world but also have the benefits of never fearing instability, never fearing not fitting into society, so they kind of having a advantage over others. They can have a bigger personality since they arent at risk of not fitting in bc they have the finacial, emotional support that others may not. So basically they have all they need and more to thrive, the awarness of potential, the desire for more. But if not mindful, these people can be somewhat of a darker entity in the game of life.

These people can be aware of their advantages over people like those in survival and stability mode but use that to succeed even more. They kind of let their ego take the wheel since they are on the cusp of stability mode and growth mode. In my head it's like a mixture of survival and stability mode with the benefits of growth mode. So in this stage they can seek validation and prioritize finacial success or success overall. They are self aware enough to realize they have advantages in life but not self aware enough to be humble and focused on the real innerwork that comes with having more resources than someone in stability mode. Like I mentioned earlier in the darker entity part, these people can be somewhat hedonistic focused on pleasure seeking, indulging on all the benefits they have in life.. stopping any other growth from happening.

Once they move past the hustle mode phase (immature growth mode) they than can really focus on their own wellbeing, not any approval, validation or even personal power. Just purely on their own exsistence and potential, so maybe they are focused on developing themselves in a mental, emotional, spiritual level. Kind of like upgrading your own human exsistence. You're not just any regular old human but seek to work on maximizing yourself as a human. A more liberated/evolved emotional, mental, spiritual self. It's really self vs self when growth mode is at it's peak, but not in a survival/stability mode kind of way, these people have the luxury of not struggling for anything other than expanding their own curiousity and potential as a human. Maybe they are exploring the world, maybe they are exploring different cultures, just going beyond just regular basic life things. This is coming from a stand point of seeking a more meaningful life that nourishes their wellbeing and human potential. Hopefully by the end of this phase, the need for validation, security of any kind, ceases to exsist so that their main priority is growth of self.

Level 5 Flourishing mode:

In flourishing mode, people here have evolved passed the ego, external validation, and self focus. They have mastered themselves as a person, no longer in the rat race you can say. What a blessed place to be. No need for the hustle and bustle to make ends meet, for struggling with their own insecurities/societal expectations, working to reach a level of success. In this mode they have everything they can ever want and need, they have succeeded in all aspects of life, physically, mentally, emotionally, finacially. So now their main focus is on what they can do to help the other people and contribute to the world. Think about it, they don't have the constant struggles that a lot of us have today, they don't have to stress about money, stability, security, or whatever it is they lack.. they have total peace with themselves as a person. So at this point it's more of a purely spiritual mission that is about other people and not just themselves. I feel like this is one of the rarest modes to be in, completely free of any personal needs.

I have so much more reasearch to do on flourish mode, flow mood and transcendence mode. But now knowing all these levels 1-5 I want to make it a point for anyone in level 1-3 which is most of us, please never feel sorry for yourself, your lack of growth or success. I promise you there is a reason you are where you are at this moment, whether it's a lack of support, resources, opportunities...some people just arent set back by health issues of all types or even finacial difficulties, a lot of people are just luckier than others to be ahead. But that says nothing about you as a person, I hope that's something you understand one day on a deep level. A lot of people do have the support and resources to help them succeed. So in other words they did have the help, that you never did. Some people are born disadvantaged, and other are born advantaged, that's the key.

You aren't alone tho, whether you are fighting to live in exsistence mode, fighting to make ends meet in survival mode, or fighting to fit in, in stability mode. Each of those have their challenges but also each of them have their own group of people to find community in. Do not compare your life to the next person, bc some people just have an unfair advantage. Instead, seek to understand why you are, where you are right now. It's a good idea to understand where you are currently in the human modes, so atleast you're more aware of your own disadvantages and advantages.

What mode are you in currently? For me it's definitely survival mode.

So to wrap this up, seek empathy for yourself not comparison or self loathing <3

*****Level 6 Flow mode:

To be continued..

According to meta AI, flow mode is:

Experience heightened focus and concentration. Merge action and awareness. Sense control and agency. Intrinsic motivation and enjoyment.

Characterized by: being fully engaged, motivated, and immersed

This gives us an idea but I still struggle to grasp what it means, so give me some time to look more into this.

*****Highest level Transcendence mode:

To be continued..

According to meta AI, transcendence mode is:

Embody a sense of purpose and meaning. Cultivate empathy, compassion, and understanding. Foster positive relationships and community. Pursue personal growth and self-awareness

Characterized by: focus on spiritual growth, selflessness, and contribution to humanity

If you've read this far I really appreciate you taking the time to read my blog <3 hope you've learned something and feel more empathy for yourself and more hope for the future. I'll be back to finishing this blog when i can fully understand what happens when you reach the peak of flourish mode and forward. It's so hard to even comprehend bc I've never experienced it myself, so hang tight for that.

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.
