We need to perform studies on how we take in, perceive and process exponentially increasing new technological information, extracting better ways of harnessing and amplifying the capability of the human brain. This will lead to breakthroughs that will help us to better process the exponentially increasing information.
We only use a fraction of our projected output of our brains, given current studies. Yet, all the information needed to harness this “explosion of knowledge” is already stored inside us. We just do not know quite how to access or apply this knowledge yet.
Given that we have misused and misapplied technology many times, it is going to be difficult. We need to start somewhere. There is a growing bottle neck of information to process. The species that does not adapt will not survive and lead to the extinction of the species, due to an insurmountable set of circumstances imposed upon and leading to the demise of said species.
Alleviation of this bottle neck includes a spurt in technological advances that help us to better understand the brain. Yet, with the advances alone the last century, we have only learned that there is still much to learn. Our recent advances have somehow gotten away from us. Advances such as nuclear fusion is giving rise to all nations in a scramble to reproduce it. Advances in synthetic pharmaceutical drugs that are killing our kids, as well as advances that enable us to destroy our natural resources and ourselves, are the direct result of being bombarded by so much new information. This “technology”, is such that we are not psychologically mature enough or mentally capable of handling the information in the most responsible manner.
We should be able to evolve enough as a species to the point where we all work together on common goals to adapt, survive and even thrive, by finding ways to better distribute, access and recall the exponentially growing knowledge. There is indeed an urgent need for communication on a higher level.
