4.Generalized Evolution

The evolution of living things and human being is part of the evolution of whole universe. The whole evolutionary process from the Big Bang to the present is a unified process to get complicated and orderly. Generalized evolution is divided into four stages: abiotic evolution; Biological evolution; Evolution of human society and evolution of artificial intelligence. The world is not only evolving, it is accelerating.

Aristotle asked the question, "Who am I? Where did I come from? Where am I going?" Only a broad history view of generalized evolutionary can best answer this question.

There are those who oppose that evolution is progress. But billions of years of progress of evolution is an undeniable fact, a general trend. There's nothing to argue about.

In addition, some people believe that evolution will lead to the extinction of human beings, so they advocate degradation. Mr. Wang Dongyue, for example. The advocation of degradation is wrong. Where do you want to retreat to? A return to World War II? Or back to World War I? Would you rather face the massacres of the Mongols, or relive the Black Death of the Middle Ages? Degradation is no way out, Wang Dongyue himself admitted that he did not find a way out. So where is the way out? There is only one way, which is to continue to evolve and solve the problems of development in the process of development. Don't be intimidated by development problems.

5. Futurology of Cosmism

The concept of cosmism was developed by Hugo de Garis, who was once known as the father of artificial intelligence. Cosmism is to support the development of AI. The opposite is earthism, which is opposed to the unrestricted development of AI, because they believe that such development will threaten the survival of mankind. In another 20 or 30 years, artificial intelligence may comprehensively surpass human intelligence, and then in a few decades, it will exceed human beings by thousands of times, millions of times, trillions of times. We have no control. That's why Earthism people advocates putting the brakes on now.

Yong Duan agrees with the cosmism view for the following reasons. First of all, artificial intelligence has the potential to threaten the survival of humanity, but the possibility of human extinction is very small. We are now in danger of extinction, too, there is always the danger of nuclear war, and there are environmental pollution and other threats that could wipe out the human race. AI can help us eliminate these threats, and it may be our only hope. After the fall of the Soviet Union, the United States became the world's sole superpower, but the United States did not sign a treaty with Russia to reduce nuclear weapons. In terms of environmental pollution, the withdrawal of the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement has exposed the weakness of human pollution control and ecological protection.

Second, if we stop researching AI, we will destroy our Great Wall. We stop, no one else stops. Even if all countries stop, terrorist groups will not stop. Humans don't have enough capability to control themselves. Human evolution is a train without a brake device, evolution is a kind of helplessness.
