ADVISABILITY IN THE GLOBAL STRUCTURE OF BEING AND THE FUTURE OF HUMANITY
Abstract
The article attempts to show a new perspective on the problems of advisability of human activity and processes occurring in being in general, to determine their rational and irrational components, as well as to reveal their deep meaning. The author stands for the idea that the progressive development of advisability processes is in the direction of acquiring an increasingly greater degree of complexity.
Human civilization can be considered as a logical link of this process. Nowadays the stage of civilization development shows that it is at a crossroads, facing the alternatives of the transition to a new level of complexity. The first one lies in following the path of consistent introduction of new technologies and creation of artificial intelligence with unlimited possibilities that will probably become a successor of the human stage of evolution. The second one is to find the ways of human enhancement as a biological being with the help of genetic engineering. Such human being will have extraordinary physical and intellectual qualities that will be by far superior to the qualities of modern people.
In any case, the transition to a new level of complexity is an urgent need. However, whether this transition will be made expediently and reasonably, or chaos will increase which will lead to collapse and to a more stable level of simplicity, this is the question to which there is no answer yet.
