DNA is overrated. I think we have already transcended out biological roots. Some information we generate as a civilization is already long lived. I am not sure

DNA is overrated. I think we have already transcended out biological roots. Some information we generate as a civilization is already long lived.
I am not sure if it’s wasteful. In the current context maybe.
- stephc_int13 6y agoThe existence of civilization is the proof that not everything is lost when we die, at least not for everyone. Nonetheless, learning is still a long and painful process, even when it is about knowledge that has been known for centuries. And when a master in a field dies, his unique mix of knowledge and views dies with him, without any ways to transfer it. Human language is a powerful tool but still weak and unreliable to transfer knowledge.
