I’ve been tracking what I call human singularities—people who embody rare and extraordinary talents—like Joseph of Copertino, or Arigo, or Lurancy Vennum, etc.. I’m trying to paint a composite picture of what I believe is our latent super-humanity. All the strange manifestations must have some purpose, some meaning.
There is reason
to doubt that we--as a species--have reached the climax of our full evolutionary
potential. Far from it! Look
around at the world—the greed, the violence, and the stupidity spreading havoc and
mayhem everywhere. The growing dangers of social instability, risk of nuclear
war and oncoming eco-catastrophe cry out for sweeping change.
