“In my life as a human, I see clues that evolution on Earth and elsewhere in the cosmos at large is not being pushed from behind in entropic randomness but being pulled forward by complexification, natural selection and other evolutionary forces orchestrated by a strange unseen teleological attractor, in McKenna’s words the 'Transcendental Object' at the end of time. The Noosphere is the collective consciousness of humanity, the networks of thought and emotion in which we all are immersed, it’s a cognitive layer of the planet, which has found a physical expression in the form of today’s Internet. As the Noosphere gains more coherence, typical of a biological brain, this process of “planet cognification” accelerates.” Humanity QuotesNatural SelectionRandomnessCollective ConsciousnessInternet QuotesPlanet QuotesNoosphereTeleological AttractorEvolution On EarthTranscendental Object Book:The Origins of Us: Evolutionary Emergence and the Omega Point Cosmology Source: The Origins of Us: Evolutionary Emergence and the Omega Point Cosmology
