Pool Shark Kawano

Thanks for a fun time at your Sekukon. Here is a video of "most improved" Kawano mistakenly sinking the cue ball after being on a roll. Good fun!

Chapter7: Transcend

1. In the Transcend theory Garreau states that we are "patternseeking, storytelling animals"(259), meaning that we have constant desire to give meanings and to believe. In the process of cultural evolution to technological evolution, Garreau questions "if our narratives of how the world works are not matching the facts, are we seeking a new era of sense, intelligibility, clarity, continuity and unity?"(259). What is your response to this? If it is true, do you think there will or will be a necessity for a "Larger frame" than the former ones such as Christianity that has "fallen away"?

2. According to P232, transhumanists believe that the Genetic, Robotic, Information and Nano technologies are changing the way humans are. Do you think that human nature will be altered if we move on GRIN technologies? Or, do you think it will be still the same in the future? Give your opinion with specific supports.
