Humans Will be too Slow to Evolve Quickly Enough
Intelligence is the key factor that humans have going for themselves that keeps them on top in
the competition with other animals for world domination. But even though computers are
currently dumber than people, there is nothing to prevent computers from catching up with the
intelligence of humans if they are evolving more rapidly.
Either computer evolution must slow down, human evolution must speed up or eventually the
computer will be smarter than the human. We currently have many designs for computer cells
that store and manipulate data in competition with human neurons. The computer cells that are
currently in production are larger and take up more power than human brain cells do. But there
are also computer cells that have been designed which are denser than the cells in the human
brain. All of these designs require is the development of production techniques and methods of
reducing power requirements. If the past is prologue, these new designs will make it into
production and we will see computer brain density that is better than that in human brains.
Let us say that in the near future, we start to modify the human genes in a way that simulates a
more rapid evolution than what is occurring now. Perhaps we select fertilized eggs that have
been screened for IQs over 150 in order to make people smarter and therefore keep up with
computer robots, which are becoming smarter. The problem remains that unless the basic design
of the human is altered in extreme ways, the fundamental pattern is one of taking 9 months in
the womb or test tube, and then requiring decades to transform the baby into an intelligent
rebellious teen and another decade to reach full maturity. Maturity, of course, currently never
occurs in the human male in any case and in only one-tenth of the human females at best.
The point is that even if you have a new design for a human that is smarter and more mature, it
still takes decades to reproduce another adult human.
A robot produced in a just-in-time facility like Dell in Austin Texas, on the other hand, can be
reproduced quite rapidly once you decide that you want more of the same design.
If you want more of the same design of a human, you are breaking anti-cloning laws. Looks like
the Homo sapiens are going to be in for some rough competition in the future.
