'As a species we have, it would seem, a major identity problem: are we animal or machine?'
At a critical juncture in our evolution as a species, how confused and contradictory we are about what we are and where we’re headed.
Whoever winds up winning this battle, the amazing thing is that there are so many of our species, perhaps the majority in our environmentally progressive area, who are so identified with another species that they would seriously propose setting aside a territory half the size of Rhode Island as a refuge for it ... for even the possibility of one.
Environmentalist passion for the survival of the jaguar is not disinterested altruism, but an expression — conscious on the part of some — of a sense that its survival has something to do with our own. That a creature like us needs to live in a natural world of creatures.We identify with jaguars and at the same time we pursue AI as if it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Those tugging toward AI are clearly winning, despite valiant efforts at the jaguar end of the rope, and seem to be even now well along in the process of pitching us all into a largely unknown AI future. We are as a species not known for species-wide convocations for discussing important things such as whether we should plunge into carbon-based industrialization, the Nuclear Age. It’s hard to imagine what form such unprecedented good sense might take. Who would trust Silicon Valley or the U.N. to arrange such a worldwide town meeting?
