Quite a long read but well worth it. Just imagine when humans are at the level of creating something that has totally independent thought and CAN create things and invent theories which have never been proposed before. Somehow, I imagine that we will essentially be creating ourselves. Does this mean that we are our own ‘gods’ so to speak? I don’t think this will happen in my lifetime in any case, probably within the next 100-200 years. Even then, this can only occur when we as a civilization and society, move past a whole lot of bullshit. I’m sure you all know what I’m talking about.

edit: while on the subject of creativity, a book recommendation (which I haven’t read myself but has been recommended to me twice now in a couple of weeks) - The Creative Mind: Myths and Mechanisms By Margaret A. Boden

double edit: Creative Sculpture With a Twist mmm pretty!
