Sample Book Insights:
#1 The battle between entropy and extropy is a life-and-death struggle. Individual lives end, but important life lessons are passed down through DNA. If evolution continues on its path towards increasing order, complexity, and beauty, entropy will slowly recede into the shadows.
#2 The transhumanists believe that humankind’s purpose is to accelerate evolution beyond its current biological limitations. They see modern-day humans as midwives in this process. The life forms that will take it from here will be human-machine combos and human-made biological beings.
#3 The Law of Accelerating Returns is the speed-up in the rate of evolution, with technical evolution picking up the slack for much slower biological evolution. The human brain is evolving on its own, and by studying mutations in our DNA, researchers have concluded that our genes are evolving considerably faster than they were in preagricultural times.
#4 We have so many huge, hairy problems today, but we shouldn’t forget that the tools and skills we’ve developed for the last era are inadequate to address the challenges of the next era.
