Thanks for the book recommendation.
Does anyone know a good reference that discusses technology in the context of evolution? I think it's less abstract ideas and more technology that evolution can't keep up with. It's likely many other animal species can think abstractly, such as whales. But it is our technology development that surpasess everything, even our own emotional ability and intelligence.
- PaulDavisThe1st 3y agoI don't like it, but it could be worth reading Kevin Kelly's "What Technology Wants". I find some flaws in Kelly's thinking, but his central idea (as presented in this book) is worth considering.
- bmitc 3y agoThanks for recommending that. I've never heard of it. Do you mind elaborating on what you think the flaws are?
