Abstract

To understand the post-industrial world of the millennials and the challenges and opportunities it presents is yet another chapter in the evolution of Homo sapiens. It will force humanity to reassess the meaning of life, its place and significance in the Universe, and above all its ability to survive in a world that includes its own creative creation – the super-intelligent, human-machine hybrid – the humanoid. The role of natural humans and humanity’s faith in spirituality if humanoids take charge will undergo a sea-change. The millennials’ ability to adapt to the new world by competing against the humanoids will face severe limitations and may even lead to Homo sapiens becoming an endangered species within a century. A biological evolution of intelligent life is waiting to happen, triggered by the Homo sapiens’ curiosity-driven quest to understand the Universe within a rational, axiomatized framework.
