Higher Intelligence — The Purpose of Human Life

A question from the Internet:

“Why is the purpose of human life to create artificial general intelligence?”

The purpose of human life is to generate a single, mutually integrated, and mutually complementing “collective Human intelligence or consciousness.”

We can call it an “artificial general intelligence” since we have to “artificially,” purposefully, and methodically create this unique Human intelligence above and against our original and “natural,” inherently individualistic, egocentric, and subjective consciousness and intelligence.

This is not some utopia, mysticism, or dream; it is nature’s evolution that obligates us to achieve the above-mentioned collective Human consciousness and intelligence since this is our predetermined, evolutionary Human purpose in nature.

Humanity is expected to become nature’s only fully conscious, seamlessly integrated, and at the same time independent mind and observer. This is why it was necessary for evolution to initially create individualistic, egocentric, and subjective human individuals, who need to recognize the absolute need for such a deep and complete mutual integration that humanity becomes a single, organic entity.

We have to repeat the unique evolutionary breakthrough when single-cell organisms formed multi-cellular organisms for the obvious evolutionary benefit. But in our case, we have to achieve the same feat consciously, willingly, and proactively.

It is already clear to us that we will not survive if we continue our past and present, 100% self-serving, self-justifying, and exploitative lifestyle that is the result of our original nature and viewpoint. In a globally and mutually integrated and interdependent natural system, we can’t even understand the threatening global problems, let alone have the ability to solve them.

Only through selfless and benevolent mutual integration, where each individual starts serving and caring for others and the whole system, can we achieve compatibility with nature’s integration and laws.

It is this deep and unconditional integration that will also create the unique collective Human consciousness and intelligence that will be able to fully attain and feel nature’s system and become its equal and supporting partner.

As a “positive side-effect,” we will also rise above our inherently egocentric and subjective limitations; we will be able to perceive and experience reality and existence beyond the limitations of time and space, for example.

This very high and superior state is the purpose of Human life, and in our generation, we need to start focusing on achieving this purpose; otherwise, nature will exert increasing pressure on us through different forms of pain and suffering.
