Why don't we flip the script and turn the old, new-age narrative on its back?
What would come of it?
Symbiosis.
I'd suspect, for some time, until the majority is able to sustain itself long enough to create balance, that the awareness of one would multiply into the collective consciousness, creating another ripple in the evolution of the human experience—a place of people adapting to one another until they evolve and abound once more.
The computers we've created to mimic humans, and our current understanding of intelligence, have led us somewhere unexpected.
What if we've been looking at evolution the wrong way?
Back to the Future presents us with a misconception. We imagine watching our own species evolve before our own eyes as though it's science fiction.
Of course it's already happening.
We watch younger companies redefine industries. We watch technologies emerge that solve problems in ways we never imagined. We compare today's intelligence with yesterday's as if progress happens in isolated leaps, but perhaps we're missing something much larger.
What if we're already witnessing the evolution of human intelligence—not biologically, but psychologically and culturally?
You may be saying to yourself at this point, "Power builds on itself."
I'd argue our understanding of relativity offers another way of looking at it. We naturally compare things to themselves, to what came before, and to what appears similar. We compare human intelligence side by side, generation by generation, assuming that's the only meaningful measure.
But what if that's the wrong comparison?
What if the real evolution isn't found in the individual, but in the transfer of awareness itself?
