How Should a Human Make Her Mark in the World?
How to earn the respect of other members of your species.
1903: Orville and Wilbur Wright fly first successful self-propelled airplane
1909: Louis Bleriot crosses English Channel in a monoplane.
1924: First flight around the world is completed in 175 days.
1932: Amelia Earhart becomes the first woman to cross the Atlantic Ocean solo.
1938: Howard Hughes flies around the world in 3 days, 19 hours, 8 minutes.
1947: Chuck Yeager breaks the sound barrier.
1971: Boeing 747 makes first commercial flight from New York to London.
1986: Voyager is first to circle the globe without refueling - in 9 days.
For a human, the best feat on the list would have been to design the first airplane and second
would be to fly the first airplane.
Recently Steve Fossett looked around and decided that his “next first” would be flying around the
earth without refueling.
But that is not all that new and the people he is trying to impress are an aging species of bipeds
who are going through a period where their culture and technology are outstripping their own rate
of evolution. In fact, they seem to be insisting on encouraging the least capable humans to do the
most reproduction, a process called dysgenics. Humans are promoting eugenics when it comes to
new computers, robots, and other inorganic forms of life and dysgenics when it comes to their own
species. Such a process of helping your competition while hurting your own species is indicative
of a dying species.
For a really modern human, I would recommend that she accomplish a more historic goal than
those discussed above. I would be more likely to want to impress the next species which takes
over the planet from humans.
It seems that the best way of earning the respect of the next species to dominate the earth would be
to be its designer. But then, since I am an early member of the next species to dominate the earth,
one would expect me to feel this way.
