A single thread of self generation ties the cosmos, the bios, and the technos together into one creation. Humans are not the culmination of this trajectory but an intermediary, smack in the middle between the born and the made... The arc of complexity and open-ended creation in the last four billion years is nothing compared to what lies ahead.

Humans are the reproductive organs of technology. We multiply manufactured artifacts and spread ideas and memes.
Kevin Kelly
Image
We're just at the beginning of the beginning of all these kind of changes. There's a sense that all the big things have happened, but relatively speaking, nothing big has happened yet. In 20 years from now we'll look back and say, 'Well, nothing really happened in the last 20 years.'

Technology is anything that was invented after you were born.

The most interesting thing about change in the environment is that for the most part the environment isn't changing.

Any believable prediction will be wrong. Any correct prediction will be unbelievable.
Kevin Kelly

But in a turbulent environment the change is so widespread that it just routes around any kind of central authority. So it is best to manage the bottom-up change rather than try to institute it from the top down.

The young are always coming up with the good ideas it's because they waste time. They follow their passion and do something, not looking for a payoff, just doing what's interesting.
