Humanity is not the solution of evolution
Here’s an interesting idea that I thought about the other day. What if humans aren’t the smartest species on Earth? What if something else has evolved that is smarter? Maybe we just don’t recognize them - like an ant doesn’t recognize us. Isn’t it possible? Imagine that something god-like has evolved from us already - we just don’t see or notice them because we are too dumb to understand or comprehend it.
I think it is definitely possible. Humans are very egocentric. We think that evolution’s goal was to make us - the smartest things in all of history. Million and millions of years were spent refining what we are today. Maybe an ant thinks the same thing about themselves, not realizing that we are much smarter than them.
Perhaps there is something godlike living amongst and around us right now.
Even if there isn’t already, I believe there will be someday. This is part of the idea of the Singularity - we are evolving quickly. Something much greater than us will eventually emerge, just as we have evolved from bacteria.
