'And this, grandson, is a car. No electronics, no computer, no net connection. No black box, no GPS. Yes, it used a battery but only for the internal combustion spark, lights, wipers and maybe a radio. No, guess it couldn't be stopped by one of those mini-EMP guns from the cops. You could drive it yourself anywhere, without any geofencing or logging. Yes, if you applied yourself, you could fix & repair basically every system, as long as you could get parts. No, you didn't get sued due DRM if you did so.'
Exactly. Inner exploration should be the priority. The man in the mirror. This popular line of "Too late to explore the world, too early to explore space" is a puberal way of philosophizing your existence.
OP said "we're entering a giant chapter", not this particular moment. That's the way I read it, anyway. And, I think we are entering a tripped-out period. Kids with their smartphones, even adults. It's fucked-up how eerie it is that 90% of people sit and stare into the matrix without looking away for hours at a time. Glowing faces. One generation removed from the ones raised on old school analog land line phones, and their kids are already hungry for complete transcendence on an X2 curve straight into the singularity. Fire-up that collider and let's roll.
Oh we are not too early to explore space. We are right on time (5-10 years from now at most). We will be known as the last pre-singularity civilization, or the civ that gave birth to the singularity. Not sure we are the first species to do that on this planet, or if we will be the last (probably not), but there you have it. According to what I just pulled from my ass.
Unless we don't survive the process. hahahaha fuck that's probably what's going to happen. if we can't control the tech it will wipe us out. and we're just some dumb apes. oh fuck! boys hold on to your butts.

What's so special about this particular moment in human history? Hasn't every age of man said the same thing?
Too late to explore the world, too early to explore space. Id say we are in a forgotten time.

We can still explore our minds my friend.

Its a materialistic delusion at that. Who wants to explore space anyhow? Earth is my life source why would I want to leave?

Eh, people used to do the same thing with newspapers. It's human nature.

Our leaders are working on something big, and all signs point to them having the influence to bring it about.
