My sentiments align with yours.

There's no reason why this organism should ever leave the earth where it
developed and spread across the galaxy either.

There's also no reason why we should not.

Expanding my knowledge of the Universe and my ability to shape it should be
my only motivation as a self-aware being.

What other point could there be to existing? None that benefits me.

If we can augment ourselves, or guide our own evolution, then we should.

As you pointed out, this^ is already happening, by accident more than by
design.

I've always had a fascination with concepts such as self-augmentation and
diy bio-hacking. When I stumbled on this weird idea called bitcoin in 2011
it turned me onto the concept of digital self-sovereignty, and
self-sovereignty in general.

These (self-empowering/self-leveraging) are the kinds of technologies and
ideas that I want to focus my energy on.

I don't think these technologies are for everyone and they never will be.
Those of us with the intelligence, and will to use them have a personality
predisposition that is rare in the population. I've mulled my entire life
over the nature vs. nurture source of this predisposition, but that's not
really a relevant question anyway.

The point that I'm reaching for is that there will be minority of humans
who guide this process deliberately, and there will be a majority for whom
it simply happens to them, by accident or by intent of others among the
aforementioned minority.

The final point is that if you do not choose to be, and work very hard to
be, in that minority, the choice is made for you.

I've trashed the notion that you can save 'humanity'. Most of them are too
dim in mind to be saved(self-enabled), and thus are not worth saving anyway.

I'm talking about an evolutionary fork. I think it's been happening for a
while anyway. *'Narcissistic sociopath' *is such a dirty word for the
beautifully self-aware evolutionary outliers in the herd.
