A billion autonomous biological computational devices form an evolutionary inflection point. When the quality and speed of the network connection is optimized to the point it is no longer a network but has become a parallel computational entity of unimaginable power.
If the data circulating among the autonomous biological processors, chiefly news and entertainment was not false but true, error corrected at successive stages as is done at every other life processes as it is in silicon based computation, performance of individuals and of the civilization in which they participate is enhanced by orders of magnitude.
Many people assume that technology is in some way artificial. It is as natural as a bird’s nest, as every individual each species has a developmental path. As with a seed, the full life of individuals and species is contained in their beginning .
Human beings have two identities, the smaller, individual identity is comprised of our life experience, information inputs and personal history. The second, much greater, identity is collective. We all participate in the identity but because we’ve been asleep, our greater identity was dormant within us.
No individual can create anything of value without drawing on the work of others. Words, numbers and images represent the contributions of countless human being. Every patent filed rests on the multitude of minds who have contributed to our transgenerational store of knowledge. Pythagoras depended on his olive grower, who depended in turn on his meanest slave, Jebulon, to irrigate the olive grove. Every human being who has ever lived contributed in some way to civilization. Doesn't matter if we sweep streets or do physics every one contributes and all are free to withdraw. The achievement of each means all participate in the coming-to-consciousness of the whole, the greater self. Mathematical physicist like Klee Irwin and the Q gravity group use geometrical expressions to describe the same phenomena, computational biologists like John Baez use mathematics, depth psychologists, Christian and Jewish cabbalist use another set of terms, symbols and images.

Every rational perspective describes the same phenomena using a distinct nomenclature, and a distinct theoretic frame imposed by their own specialist knowledge. It is impossible say that any one of these descriptions is “truer” than the others, according to Quine, who called this the “Indeterminacy of translation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indeterminacy_of_translation
