The Second-Rating of Humanity

Humans have made tools by imitating nature
Tools, mediated by human inertia, are becoming interconnected
That medium, acting as a sieve, is imitating humans and acquiring intelligence as an object
Virtual reality is substituting individual life with units smaller than a second, becoming ever more concrete

No matter how I think about it, the numbers don't add up.


I can't help wondering whether Sapiens was created by Neanderthals. Just as today's humans are creating a virtual intelligence.
