2022, on The Earth planet, the Sapiens species is the the most abundant and geographically most widespread species of primate, characterized by bipedalism and large, complex brains.
Humans are apes, superfamily Hominoidea, you can understand how they behave by observing how they get organized and managed: highly social and tend to live in complex social structures composed of many cooperating and competing groups, from families and kinship networks to political states, and social interactions between humans have established a wide variety of values, social norms, and rituals, which all seek to enhance human societies, ....
... however there is a bug ...
there is no collective consciousness, and the more technology improves, the less
empathic communication is something that really works, especially when it's replaced by the internet, which is not at all able to manifest it at all.
High-tech
low-lifeYeah,
cyberpunk is real, fools believe it's a only video game theme. It's on everybody eyes that the advanced development of technologies beyond imagination reflects social crises and an inability for people to get benefits from the progress.
Which brings us to what we are doing to our Planet, as well as what Mr.Vladimir Putin is doing against his brothers.
A repeat of history. Humans are this way, and due to their bug they are potentially extremely good at killing each others, extremely good in wasting resources.
Like a virus.
The system of ocean currents called the southern reversal of the Atlantic circulation (
AMOC) is at an all-time low for the last 1600 years, a slowdown that could have consequences on extreme climate.
And it's all Sapiens species fault, due to the unbridled consumerism.
Likely, in 2200, Aliens visiting Earth will see something similar to a perfect city with perfect AMOC, perfect resource recycling, perfect buses, perfect sewage systems and perfect aqueducts, perfect urban plans with very high efficiency of the management of the resources (ironically like
Leonardo da Vinci painted in 1501, during Renaissance), and it will likely happen only after the extinction of humans, when A.I. will be merged with the humans or when evolution will introduce the
ultra-sapiens, who will replace the sapiens species.
The Neanderthals got replaced for a similar reason. They are too many Sapiens on the Earth planet, and the most of them are too limited, chaotic, heedless of order, and in a swarm there is no swarm every individual primary thinks only about him/herself.
No collective conscience, indeed even talking about it seems like a communist discourse, another great failure, failed precisely for this reason.
That's a serious Bug, and when resources are limited, with too many individuals competing for limited resources, well ... this kind of bugs can't survive too long.
Sapiens emerged in Africa around 300K years ago, migrated out of the continent, gradually replacing local populations of archaic humans, the it began exhibiting behavioral modernity about 160K years ago or possibly earlier.
Hope the new species will do it faster, harder, stronger and better
