I think humans’ brains are still at least partially in the
state of animals with mostly basic natural instincts and not developed enough
past that state. Humans have not evolved enough to properly apply: thinking,
comprehension, understanding, problem solving, and seeing problems/situations
as they are at that time and how they work and function.
Just as animals don’t comprehend things or understand. They
only act because their brain is only developed enough for instincts and drive
to survive from evolution. Animals are incapable of thinking why, or that there
should be a reason for something to happen or to do something itself. That part
of humans cannot comprehend that things happen for a reason to cause something
else to happen and make a result, and that they should do things for a reason,
for the outcome/ result. They cannot consider and analyze what an outcome will
be (Cause and effect), or analyze what the possible outcomes are, and decide
which outcome is best and most beneficial. Like animals, humans don’t realise
that the results matter and they can decide what to do to cause a certain
result.
Animals brains are built to make the owner only exist. The
brain is set and pre-programmed by instinct/evolution and only works that one
way, to do specific things certain ways, as it is already set. Not to realise
it has a choice and can question and decide which route to take based on where
it leads to.
We have been able to develop tech which has greatly
accelerated and passed and left behind (in time as a race) the human brain
capability. Humans are still acting from instinct as dumb animals without
analysing why to do something to get what result. But humans now have technology
advancing, which is a great powerful and dangerous, unstable weapon that should
only be used by an intellect with comprehension. The ability to think
independently, and forecast that there will be a result of actions taken would
theoretically be a requirement for safe authority over technology, so that the
controller would decide how to cause a certain positive, intentional result wielding
the extended capabilities of technology and manufacturing.
Currently, people often act on natural instincts or individually
temporarily developed mind-sets. But is seems we are close to passing the point
of brain development to understand making an intentional decision to cause the
desired effect based on analysis. Selfishness, carelessness, and ignorance are the
common attributes of human intellect, which seems to be part of long term
intellect development, but maybe in the early stages on route to true
intelligence.
Perhaps we are on the very brink of crossing the boundary to
acquire intellect beyond subconscious mindsets and instinctual actions of
common animals. I believe some have passed that boundary (though, I suppose its
likely faded and indistinct like most things in life), perhaps including me,
and there should be many others. Though it is likely a small % of all of
humanity, when considered on the larger scale.
Maybe tech has let us skip past brain development in
evolution. Maybe our brains are now evolving to be able to think individually,
and need to do so quickly to catch up to technology which we use. If humans acquire
intelligent, logical sense and rationality, they could potentially reduce, stop
and perhaps counteract the careless damage being done by side effects of tech.
There may be a point where we have done too much damage to counteract, and don’t have enough time, with what is already set in motion. Maybe all evolution leads to this and other species of aliens have to pass this point. Maybe some make it and some don’t. Or maybe minds usually do develop 1st, before the weapon of tech is acquired.
But then why did we get it in the wrong order?
