Advancing evolution, but not so fast

 The more daring we are in advancing our evolution the more problems and failures we may have, which suggests that going a bit slower will bring advances slower, but safer advances none the less. Our survival depends on solving cosmic-size problems which will require higher and higher intelligence. It is long term evolution that we pursue.

The transhumanists need to slow down a bit. We don't want to become artificial intelligent machines with our beauty and biological instincts disintegrated. We want to become increasingly better men and women. The ability to delay action shows strength, lack of restraint often shows weakness. We need to advance meritocratically the best of ourselves, the best within all groups. Computers are tools, not our relatives.

Advancing needs to be understood biologically, physiologically, genetically and not solely through melding with artificial intelligence---and not through militarism either, as Nietzsche once suggested in “The Will To Power.” The remedy away from our decline and toward our advancement is not only cultural, it is genetic selection within all groups. We need to advance not merely in the negative way of trying to end all suffering, but also in the positive way of improving ourselves as we evolve toward Godhood.

At bottom this is a religious evolution connecting with traditional religions. The Inward Path to the God Within of traditional religion turns away from the material world---this needs to be applied but transformed in the Outward Path of material evolution to Godhood, which was first seen inwardly but incompletely as the Father Within. The new is brought into the old, conservatism can be validated in Ordered Evolution. We can live in balance with nature and evolution, as we all rise in the cosmos to Godhood.
