Post-humans in space a billion years hence seeing themselves as evolved humans is akin to humanity seeing itself today as evolved microbes. IMO by far the biggest mistake of truth-seekers is not just anthropocentrism, but extreme anthropocentrism.Atla wrote: ↑May 12th, 2022, 9:34 amAnd even if we will survive and evolve into something universal in a billion years, then why does existence seem to be centered on us, here and now, and not on those universal beings?

Surely existence only seems to be centred here due to the limits of our perception, especially in knowing space events that occurred billions of years ago.
