We humans are evolving into something new. With the speed up of technology we are seeing this happening in real time. What you are is not the same as your parents. We go fast now in evolution and we are almost close to singularity when machines will become smarter than man. What does it mean to be a human? This is not a movie or a joke. This is happening in real time in front of our eyes. Consider how insanely fast we have evolved since 100 years ago. If we drop you off in 1918 Europe that is not the same people as we are! Something happened insanely fast. Consider 50 more years in the future. What will we be then? The speed up started around 2012 with smartphones and big screens.
The last 2 years it has started to speed up even more with Blockchain. This is not slowing down. Stuff is just getting started. What would you think if we could make a clone of you? Do you want one? Do you want a nano robot to build you a Ferrari in under 1 hour? It's coming. Do you want to grow a baby at home in a machine? It's coming. Do you want to experience anything in VR? It's coming. So what will a human be that is an interesting question. What will humans do and see to be of value. Humans that doesn't need to work anymore for their survival what will they spend time doing.
You as a human is too intelligent to be run at full speed. Since we are creating so much insane abundance right now it's a bit fascinating how we try to keep up in an ever constant changing landscape. Attention economy means if you have attention you are rich. Since your attention is scarce I try not to waste it so I mainly focus on things that can benefit your survival.
