:14:00
two billion years for life,
:14:02
six million years
for the hominid,
:14:05
1 00,000 years for
mankind as we know it--
:14:08
you're beginning to see the telescoping
nature of the evolutionary paradigm.
:14:11
And then when you
get to agricultural,
:14:14
when you get to scientific revolution
and industrial revolution,
:14:18
you're looking at 1 0,000 years,
400 years, 1 50 years.
:14:21
You're seeing a further telescoping
of this evolutionary time.
:14:25
What that means is that as we
go through the new evolution,
:14:28
it's gonna telescope to
the point we should be able
to see it manifest itself...
:14:31
within our lifetime,
within this generation.
:14:34
The new evolution
stems from information,
:14:38
and it stems from two types of
information: digital and analog.
:14:40
The digital is
artificial intelligence.
:14:42
The analog results from molecular
biology, the cloning of the organism.
:14:46
And you knit the two together
with neurobiology.
:14:48
Before on the old
evolutionary paradigm,
:14:51
one would die and the other
would grow and dominate.
:14:53
But under the new paradigm,
they would exist...
:14:56
as a mutually supportive,
noncompetitive grouping.
:15:00
Okay, independent
from the external.
:15:02
And what is interesting here is
that evolution now becomes an
individually centered process,
:15:07
emanating from the needs
and the desires of the individual,
:15:10
and not an external process,
a passive process...
:15:13
where the individual is just
at the whim of the collective.
:15:15
So, you produce a neo-human with a new
individuality and a new consciousness.
:15:21
But that's only the beginning
of the evolutionary cycle...
:15:24
because as
the next cycle proceeds,
:15:27
the input is now
this new intelligence.
:15:29
As intelligence
piles on intelligence,
:15:31
as ability piles on ability,
the speed changes.
:15:34
Until what?
Until you reach a crescendo in a way...
:15:37
could be imagined as an enormous
instantaneous fulfillment of human,
:15:41
human and neo-human
potential.
:15:43
It could be something
totally different.
:15:44
It could be the amplification
of the individual,
:15:47
the multiplication
of individual existences.
:15:49
Parallel existences now
with the individual no longer
restricted by time and space.
:15:55
And the manifestations
of this neo-human-type evolution,
:15:59
manifestations could be
dramatically counter-intuitive.
