The prototype of man

Are we the people? Can we really deserve the title, the most advanced beings in the universe? Do we have the right to this status? Of course, yes. We have the absolute right, to the position, which now occupies. We have surpassed all other organisms, and now, only a person can decide how to occupy the territory of what type should be protected, and what will the fate of the entire planet. That we are standing at the helm, but true whether our choices?

We are changing the world around them. Building a house, we build bridges, to invent new ways of movement. We have become so skillful creators that our offspring are changing us. If not directly, then indirectly. And we are changing in favor of that world, which is created around it.

We are not yet fully human. Most of our abilities, possibilities and limits - unresolved. Yes, they appear from time to time, but we are unable to live "at the peak" of his potential. We are rather "slow dying" rather than burn, and is corruption (oddly enough) is more pernicious. It is easier to extinguish. It's easier to knock out.

We can change the shape, change and improve the body, enhance intelligence. But it is not intelligence, not skin and bones make us human. Our behavior, values, goals, and principles - that constructs our identity. Here, it is worth to improve or develop at least a few percent.

Technology enables us to take a step further. Step faster. But without the "fuel" and without a clear vision of the purpose - we run the risk of driving in circles. Technology does not make us different. They will make us stronger, faster, smarter, tougher. Quantitative characteristics can be changed. But if the quality changes?

Competent symbiosis of technology and methods of self-improvement - this is the ticket to a new stage of evolution. These two components, both hands and feet of our bodies. We can not say which is more important. And only together they can enable a person to go further, do more. No work on himself, without lifting straps - we remain ordinary people, with small passions and desires scarce. Is there something that can push us to do more? Yes there is. This hostile environment and a clear mind. But civilization deprives us of both components.

We are turning into a hothouse plant, thanks to social assistance and unemployment benefits. We do not mind busy with work, and the choice of foods consumed. Can we change the situation? We are able to change yourself. And it will be the first step in the new history of evolution.
