Cosmological forecast and its practical significance
Journal of Evolution and Technology, vol. 12, 2002
Abstract
Cosmology is extremely detached from daily human routines and experiences, and it’s often taken for granted that cosmological data cannot rationally affect beliefs about humanity’s future. This article attempts to demonstrate that these beliefs might be impacted sooner than expected, especially if humanity aims to maximize its creative potential. Newer developments in the fields of anthropic self-selection and physical eschatology provide solid ground for this conclusion. This could potentially open up new and urgent subjects in the areas of future policy-making and transhumanist studies generally. – AI-generated abstract.
