WAKING LIFE -- ILLUSTRATED SCREENPLAY & SCREENCAP GALLERY

And what is interesting here is that evolution now becomes an individually centered process, emanating from the needs and desires of the individual, and not an external process, a passive process, where the individual is just at the whim of the collective. So, you produce a neo-human with a new individuality and a new consciousness.  But that's only the beginning of the evolutionary cycle, because as the next cycle proceeds, the input is now this new intelligence.

 As intelligence piles on intelligence, as ability piles upon ability, the speed changes. Until what? Until you reach a crescendo in a way it could be imagined as an enormous almost instantaneous fulfillment of human and neo-human potential. It could be something totally different. It could be the amplification of the individual, the multiplication of individual existences. Parallel existences now with the individual no longer restricted by time and space.

And the manifestations of this neo-human type evolution, manifestations could be dramatically counter-intuitive. That's the interesting part. The old evolution is cold.  It's sterile.  It's efficient, okay?  And its manifestations are those social adaptations: You're talking about parasitism, dominance, morality, okay?  Uh, war, predation, these will be subject to de-emphasis. These would be subject to de-evolution.

The new evolutionary paradigm will give us the human traits of truth, of loyalty, of justice, of freedom. These will be the manifestations of the new evolution. And that is what we would hope to see from this. That would be nice.
