Okay, independent
from the external.

:15:02
And what is interesting here is
that evolution now becomes an
individually centered process,

:15:07
emanating from the needs
and the desires of the individual,

:15:10
and not an external process,
a passive process...

:15:13
where the individual is just
at the whim of the collective.

:15:15
So, you produce a neo-human with a new
individuality and a new consciousness.

:15:21
But that's only the beginning
of the evolutionary cycle...

:15:24
because as
the next cycle proceeds,

:15:27
the input is now
this new intelligence.

:15:29
As intelligence
piles on intelligence,

:15:31
as ability piles on ability,
the speed changes.

:15:34
Until what?
Until you reach a crescendo in a way...

:15:37
could be imagined as an enormous
instantaneous fulfillment of human,

:15:41
human and neo-human
potential.

:15:43
It could be something
totally different.

:15:44
It could be the amplification
of the individual,

:15:47
the multiplication
of individual existences.

:15:49
Parallel existences now
with the individual no longer
restricted by time and space.

:15:55
And the manifestations
of this neo-human-type evolution,

:15:59
manifestations could be
dramatically counter-intuitive.

:16:01
That's the interesting part.
The old evolution is cold.

:16:05
It's sterile.
It's efficient, okay?

:16:07
And its manifestations are
those social adaptations.

:16:11
You're talking about parasitism,
dominance, morality, okay?

:16:15
Uh, war, predation, these would
be subject to de-emphasis.

:16:19
These would be
subject to de-evolution.

:16:22
The new evolutionary paradigm
will give us the human traits
of truth, of loyalty,

:16:27
of justice, of freedom.
:16:30
These will be the manifestations
of the new evolution.

:16:32
That is what we would hope to see
from this. That would be nice.
