Don't replace biological evolution with intelligent-machine evolution


I don't worry about the development of intelligent machines as much as I worry about those who control the machines as their will to power. Nietzsche rightly said that science is usually the transformation of nature into concepts for the purpose of governing nature, and I see this being done among the brilliant transhumanists and singularity people. They may not look or act like it but they have the will to power of military generals.

Awhile back I wrote: “In the process of our materiel/supermaterial evolution, machine intelligence has the potential to evolve considerably faster than biological life can evolve, but this does not mean that we should abandon the sacred goal of biological life evolving to Godhood. This could no doubt bring a contention between advocates of machine enhancement and advocates of biological enhancement. Intelligent machines can certainly serve slower evolving biological intelligence, but it is simply suicidal to be centered only on super-intelligent machines. Some of our brightest minds have been intimidated by a devious political correctness (cultural Marxism) into replacing biological evolution with machine evolution---courage here is needed, the sacred purpose of real life evolving to Godhood depends on it.”
