The illusion of transcendence

No comments

It has been said that man - the top of evolution. We qualitatively superior to any of the species has ever lived on the planet. Having developed brain, we can easily adapt to the requirements of nature and even change its essence. But how perfect our biological mechanisms? How instincts we need? And enough of the brain is given to them?
Instincts we need for what would be the way we are. Changes occur, but do not due to the internal desire, and because of pressure from the outside. Nature produces incentives, and we are perceiving them, are changing.
When switching to another form of existence, we have not much to get rid of, how to replace the old mechanisms for better.
The illusion that nature is more perfect than we are - haunts humanity since the beginning of our history. First we got on with it, then - worship, tried to understand, study and now - is modified.
How perfect its mechanisms? They are good enough for us, in a specific time interval. Without them - we will die. But the existence of a perfect mechanism, who will use the previous, outdated? This is equivalent to using a typewriter, in the era of quantum computers.
The problem lies in the transcendence that exceed the biological mechanisms - is extremely difficult. Their experience accumulating for millions of years. They are associated with our body denser than it seems. If you change the organic matter on the mechanics, it is to attend to the issue of regulation of human desires and instincts. Otherwise - we will die from depression.

Transcend nature is very difficult playing by her rules. Create an alternative to turning over from scratch, we cannot just stay forever young people, we can become something more than people.
