Brain Impact Model

How much the human future protected against machines and what shall we do with the rest?

After the digital revolution gave it a kickstart in the ’70s there were lots of predictions that kept scientists busy. Still, there is demand after a good model which describes the social-political-economical triangle in new integrity. The good model is simple and reliable, at least for a foreseeable time ahead. What would make this model even special is that it shall incorporate the digital trends, in large portions considering the impact of thinking-like computer algorithms to human existence? The new environment is virtually modeled by no longer three but four factors because AI has become so deterministic.


Technology and nature

These two categories a precisely separable. Nature is endless in time. By the human scale, we use to claim the start from the birth of earth and perceive the end of this planet in some 100 year’s distance. It describes well the attitude of mankind that we imagine only some 100 years in advance even though our species has thousands of years of history on the billion years old globe. It sounds a bit pessimistic, but that is the way we distill the known context of life. Technology is relatively a newborn particle of the whole human-centered economy. Even if we calculate the first wooden tools that we made for hunting animals it just a handmade piece discovered at the very late stage of evolution. Now think about digital technology, which is an almost unmeasurably new artifact in the whole picture.

Evolution of humans

The transition of the human race to change from four legs to two ones took 150.000 years. That means in a thousand-year happened almost no tangible change in our biological structure. All evolution was stimulated by the fact of mobility which let us accommodate to the change of environment. Like the mitigating risk of offensive animals, change of seasons with all their consequences. Is it true that the intensive evolution started with the invention of the alphabet? Could mankind not store and inherit experience in any other form? The fact is our DNS is a learning and storage system and hands over essentially new information right to the next generation. We also know that the brain is not only concentrated in the head but rather a distributed organ though the whole body. Experimentation, mobility and the natural trait to develop, invent and accommodate is the elementary character of the human being as wonderful as all other living organisms. All these intelligent creatures teach others in symbiosis from the dawn of history.

Evolution of technology

Technology is not part of this living symbiosis. That is another tool in the hand of humans like it was earlier the stone and iron made ones. The human phantasy tests and tries the incredible amount of opportunities, predicting the future utilization of tools. That is why stone based tools were later replaced by iron made weapons and a wide scale of tools in everyday life. The technology was always mysterious and wonderful, stimulated the brain to make another step and the wonderful social collaboration made innovative ideas in a synergy. The human instinct and intelligence is the only form the energy that can over exceed the physical law of conservation of energy. The reason lays behind the continuous learning of our biological composition. The fact that all technology is created by us explains the limitation or our helping tools, including the latest ones like Artificial Intelligence. AI is structured precisely and the working algorithm is programmed in every piece in the same way as all other codes are written in the IT industry.

Moment of union

The moment of the digital revolution is not the only example when technology merges into social processes. It happened many times in terrestrial history. The world around us is measured by human-created units so that we can understand our environment better. The models that we create are serving us to make always better tools in striving for a higher quality of communities and collective existence. As we can not reproduce the biological rules that drive deep evolution we can only play around with tools on the surface of our consciousness. New materials, new processes and energy forms serve as a protector and stimulus to find ever-revolving joy and purposes. While our DNS inherits the great experiences newer and newer technologies will be leveraged to solve the challenge of sustained evolution. AI is part of such series.

Summary

There is always a new historic period that makes us worry, struggle for a better life while relentlessly sacrificing ourselves for a higher purpose. The technology revolution plays a repeated role in supplementing our mainstream biological learning process to an infinite number of thousand years forward. That is wonderful to experiment with new limits, always worry about the next step and solve them finally with the ancient, naturally encoded collective intelligence. The human brain is a natural orchestrator above all tools that we intrinsically apply through the journey of our species.
