On that note the revelation that the entire purpose of the mind is to predict the future and thereby increase our ability to survive on earth.

Turns out that prediction engine has made us the kings of the earthly hills we inhabit.

Little is written about how we invented first concepts, then language, and finally solved the time binding problem which insured our evolution into knowledge acquisition experts of the earth. With the invention of writing enabling the jump to exponential knowledge accumulation rates and massive wisdom accumulation abilities. And so this ability emanating from natures gift of 2/1/2 pound of neurons, alone enabled us to become the owners of the earth.

Talk about serendipity, and luck of the draw.

And so forward we go, standing as we do … on the shoulders of all of the generations before, my only regret is that I was born approximately one third of a generation too late to benefit from the maximum use of this wisdom.

At least I get to see the tip of the new age as we approach it.

It looks to be more fun than I can imagine from this distant perch. However, It is good to know how much more of life’s riches it will offer those children of mine, and their progeny, who are lucky enough to be born into it’s promise.

Thank you Ray, for your visions and your explanations.
