Do you have the potentail to evolve - or are you doomed to remain human?
THE POST-HUMAN MOVEMENT
ROBOTS
Global society is in turmoil, as it has been for the whole of this century. We have witnessed devastating wars, and the breakdown of traditional systems of belief. Massive advances in technology and science have left the average human in their wake -too overloaded with data to respond to all the changes. Although we have to our disposal a greater intellectual and economic resource than ever before, a bottle neck exists. Our capacity to fully utilise this has not grown at a corresponding rate. We seem to be stuck in the past with a "HUMAN operating mode" programmed in. At last, a software upgrade is available!
THE HUMAN CONDITION
As we owe a debt to our ancestors for their efforts in ascending from sub-human to fully human status, we owe it to our descendants in turn to progress from the worn out human role-model, to be POST-HUMAN. This need not be a painful transition. We cab build upon our human heritage, taking what is useful from the old order, and discarding the dross. Care must be taken not to merely exchange one lable for another. As soon as we fix our identity to any tag, then we award ourselves with limitations. 'Post' simply means 'after'.
