Our mission as humans is not only to discover our fullest selves in the technium, and to find full contentment, but to expand the possibilities for others. Greater technology will selfishly unleash our talents, but it will also unselfishly unleash others: our children, and all children to come.

But when you are embodied in a location, in a physical plant, in a set of people, and in a common history, that constrains your evolution and your ability to evolve in certain directions.

Species go extinct because there are historical contraints built into a given body or a given design.

We are infected by our own misunderstandin g of how our own minds work.

Humans are the reproductive organs of technology. We multiply manufactured artifacts and spread ideas and memes.
